Looking for DVD Player for NT

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsnt.misc (More info?)

Hi Brian,

repeating a reply I made to this exact same question about 1 week ago:

I did some research into this a while ago - I haven't as yet tried installing or
using anything, but you may want to have a look at:

http://www.easy-dvd-player.com

The FAQ on this site _claims_ that OS of NT 4.0 is supported.

Most other software DVD players don't support NT (well they don't mention it
does on 'system requirements') - but as has been the case many times before I
have found, just because they don't specifically mention NT 4.0 does NOT mean
the programme won't run on it !

Hi Brian,

I suspected that this would be the case - bummer. I have had a lot of trouble
lately with programmes _claiming_ to be able to run on NT4 when in fact they
will not, and vice-versa.

If you want to persist with your search, I found this today by sheer luck:

http://www.nicsoft.com.au/ - the site is very light on detail, but may be a
hope. No guarantees of course that this will work either, but probably worth
investigation :-)

You may also want to have a look at the freeware effort:

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (VideoLan Client - commonly known as VLC)

I know this programme functions ok on NT4, but I've not tried using it's DVD
playback capabilities, so I can't vouch for them working.

I expect you are reaching the same conclussion as myself - namely: I wish the
programmers and marketeers out there would spend even 1/10th of time checking
the accuracy of their facts (epspecially system requirements!) as they obvious
devote to the marketing hype :-(

Good luck with your quest Brian. If you do have any success, let us all know.

Calvin.
