Operating System: Media Center 2005
Burning Software: None installed
Anti-virus Software: None installed
DAEMON Tools Version: 3.47
Over the past weekend, I upgraded to the Media Center 2005 RTM build from the prior release candidate build. Everything went flawless until I tried to mount ISO images of backed up DVDs using daemon tools v3.46. I had no issue with the DVDs starting up but once I clicked on a DVD menu (play, scene selection, etc..), the screen went black and playback froze. This was not an issue prior to upgrading (the upgrade brought along SP2).
On some DVDs, playback worked fine but on others, it would start successfully the first time but then failed all subsequent tries. I experienced the same thing when I went from full screen playback to running MCE within a window. I tried unmounting, remounting, rebooting but still had the same issue frozen playback. Playing the physical DVD worked fine.
Visiting the daemon tools website I found a new release (3.47) which indicated that it fixed an issue with frozen playback using SP2. Installing the new version, however, yielded no better results. With the exception of daemon tools, this is a straight install of Media Center 2005.
Anyone else seeing the same issue and (hopefully) have a work-around? Two DVD's that I've been unable to play include Mad Max and James Bond: Man with a Golden Gun.
