Hi Joan - I don't use PowerDVD now, but from what I remember, insert the DVD, hit enter on the icon for PowerDVD, then press the application key, and using your arrow keys, you will come across the buttons for play/pause, forward to next chapter, back to previous chapter etc. What I often had to do once the DVD began, was to hit enter a second time, to move it beyong the opening screen that just plays over and over, to where the film actually begins. Regarding key strokes for volume etc, I can't properly remember now, I think the plus and minus might have been used on the numpad for volume, and other key strokes are similar to other players; like I say, I can't recall them now, but if you try with things like ctrl f or n, for forward or next, that kind of thing, you will come across them. Sorry I can't be any more accurate on this; maybe others can be so! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan Muir" <wjmuir.twadugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 8:06 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Playing DVD's using WMP 11 | Hi, Andy, | | Well, if I get the DVD to play I have no idea what keystrokes to use to | pause it, make it go forward or back or stop etc. | | I got given a DVD recently and got no sound from it at all. | | Best wishes, | | Joan. | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 8:03 PM | Subject: [access-uk] Re: Playing DVD's using WMP 11 | | | > Joan - I have used PowerDVD with no problems, and no scripts; what actual | > problem are you experienceing? - | > | > Andy | > ----- Original Message ----- | > From: "Joan Muir" <wjmuir.twadugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | > To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | > Sent: Sunday, November 18, 2007 7:45 PM | > Subject: [access-uk] Re: Playing DVD's using WMP 11 | > | > | > | On the same subject, I have Power DVD on my PC but for the life of me I | > | don't know how to work it.
