I don't want to use a poxy program like PowerDVD that's full of farking ads or that I have to either pay for or use a cracked version...or some other crap media player...I want to use Kodi or farking Win Media Player!!!I'm nearly convinced now that Windows has an apple in their logo.... Haven't used my blue ray player probably for a couple of years, been watching downloaded HD movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think VLC player will work and it's free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow the karnts! I'm not a fan of VLC but I do have it installed and yes I pirate everything also "me hearty" but thought seeing as I was permanently using the htpc that I'd buy the player for the discs that I already have!

Wow the karnts! I'm not a fan of VLC but I do have it installed and yes I pirate everything also "me hearty" but thought seeing as I was permanently using the htpc that I'd buy the player for the discs that I already have!Yeah not a fan BUT Microsoft did drop the RRP of Win10 and the reason was they did defeature it because the stats show most of us don't watch DVDs on our PC anymore. We download it (mostly illegally) so I get there point, don't like it but understand why. Yeah I hate VLC too but we use it at work to play all our content in the demo PCs, it's always crashing or freezes up.But what do you do hey?!? That's what we get for pirating everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive plays dvds/cd no problems but blurays thanks to DRM hold it back from launching them! I can simply copy and paste the whole disc but the size is what I don't like!!! I might just have to get a patch for PowerDVD or whatever it was that came with the Pioneer drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got roped in to learning to fly (getting my pilot licence) It's not cheap to learn (will take me a few years to get my ticket because I haven't got the cash to do it quick) so I figured that I'm better off learning as much as I can at home, instead of in the air where it costs. So - for under $500 I managed to get all the controls of the Cessna I'm learning in I've downloaded the plane and the airport I'm flying from and am going to setup my old unit into a flight sim to help me spend less time in the air learning. I've got all the controls (to hook up to the computer) from the red bit down - yoke, left switches, throttle switches, pedals, trim etc in the cockpit picture. Gauges and radios will be on the screen (I don't touch them at this point, so just have to get used to glancing at them) I'm going to set it all up in the old Monaco GP racing box (gut the unit and set it up as a cockpit) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
