The default setting is to use PathPlayer if needed. I tried it that way and also with it disabled. Same result either way.
I'm now back on my old PC (the new one has a problem and has to be sent back <grrr>) and will try the Platinum version just to satisfy myself that it works for me like
DVDFab HD Decrypter does.
It will be a little while before I can try it out again on the new machine. Hopefully there won't be a problem then.
Thanx for your help.
