running the latest Beta on ripped DVD's that used to work before I moved them to another drive i am now getting this Error. any ideas?

the DVD images are hosted on an internal Drive but now they are hosted on an external drive.

when I try to play them they all say that they are an incompatible region. i only moved them. they all play fine in VLC and windows media player.

Any ideas?

This happens when I move the DVD's to a different Drive. its an internal vs external thing... any ideas?

How did you rip them?

Did you remove the region code during the rip or did you do a straight copy of the files to folders, or to iso's?

[dpackham]

I used DVDfab mostly and some were AnyDVD rips.

is there any way to check what region they think they are?

VLC plays them just fine. as does Windows Media Player. I also downloaded Mplayer knowing that Sage uses that for DVD's and the external MPlayer works as well. just the internal version does not.

removed and reinstalled SageTV and same error

[dpackham]

any ideas?

[Narflex]

Try a different DVD Video Decoder or DVD Video Renderer; that may help. The error is coming from the operating system; so its something with the DVD playback configuration.

[dpackham]

ok. any suggestions on one that works well with the Nvidia cards?

HMMM figured out that it only happens when im running SageMC... latest dev version. if I go back to the default it works.. hmmm

[dpackham]

can I get this thread moved to the SageMC area?

[dpackham]

Any ideas? I really dont like the default STV and want to go back to SageMC
