Ok i have encounterd some really odd problems with Media Player 11 in XP.
First i have to find a DVD codec in which I did. Now i don't understand why
because Nero & Ultra Edition 7 has a built in DVD codec and all of a sudden a
few days ago media player is saying i have no codec even though i do, but
that's not the big issue. Now that i have the codec the DVD player plays fine
in media player but now the chapter menus are grayed out. I have tried diff
codecs and diff cd's and everything and it's still grayed out why?

Try a different media player.

WMP is cumbersome and quite unfriendly in it's controls, not to mention slow
to start playback.

I use Zoom Player, but that's not free for the DVD version, (standard player
is for home use), there are some others.

People like VLC.
