In this machine which is Vista Premium Home SP 2, 32 bit, windows medial will play the sound but not the video. Similarly powerDVD. They will both play other DVDs of more recent vintage even though they may have been made just as long ago. Is this simply something like a codec or something? Or is it something more serious? Just as a complication powerdvd5 used to play these in XP Pro no problems. cheers jim I have some older dvds of videos made from TV programs that worked fine in my XP Pro machine.
