Well, the split option on the older version I used, always worked fine. Great in fact. However, with options at default, this one is doing something weird with the discs that is allowing it to play in my PC, but causes my personal DVD player to freak out. There has got to be an option or something that may be causing this problem. I will check out pathplayer but I believe it is off by default, and turns on only when needed, but first informs you of the need.
