Why, terry. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM playing ANY of my titles, even old InterActuals through PowerDVD. Granted some of the fuctionality is lost due to old software which is no longer supported, and having a tick box will tell you what exactly. It will play in PowerDVD and the Disc ID will captured by Profiler, what else is needed.

Power DVD comes with the decoder for those dvds.

If I'm not mistaken, this is already handled by the tick box "DVD-ROM Content".

We would have to include PCFriendly and any other such DVD based software, frankly I don't see the importance.

Have to agree, it's useless information. I hate that that program wants me to instal it. Back in the day, it would always crash my PC when I went to run it. That garbage should not be included on the DVD itself.

But unfortunately it is, and wouldn't you like to know that program is installed on your disc already?

I mean,, It is included and it is there, it should be made note of.

I think we all understand what you mean, but like Tracer said, there is a spot for dvd-rom content, that kind of falls into that category

but why not just use your dvd player?

I have never once ever tried to use dvd software on the dvd itself..

If your dvd player player was being used or was out of commission and you had a dvd rom player in your PC., BUT your PC was recently formatted, Plus you are not on the Internet, and therefore can't log in and download any of the free software available including Windows media player 9 thru 11.,  and you can't find that DVD disc of PowerDVD or any other software for your DVD, and you put the DVD into your PC , you would more than likely get a error message stating that your DVD will not play because it is missing some sort of file.

NOW with all that said and done.., I'll will again try to reason with any of you on why I think my request is a valid one. Knowing that on some of your DVDs sitting on your shelf that some and most of the earlier disc were encoded with PC Friendly., The little black emblem on the rear of the DVD jacket near the bottom that states that the disc itself contains a program that could install itself itself on a PC ( NOT a MAC).., and that program is called Interactual Player version xx .. BY clicking yes it would then install itself and playback the disc to your satisfaction.  NOW knowing all this and putting your self into this scenario, wouldn't it be nice to know that contributed titles that had that option was ticked to let you know at a glance of your monitor and the Invelos Software that you have that software at your fingertips..


That is what I was trying to get across.. It's like you were all saying if your disc is encoded with CC,  why mention it anywhere?  if it is there you'll find it if you look hard enough ..
