Dear Chris:

   I know that the file for this downloaded movie was mpeg that is about it. All I really konw is when by accident, I downloaded the 14 day trial of PowerDVD did it play the movie. I restored my old version of PowerDVD and it did not work again not even in media player. I am not really educated in playing DVD's on the computer. Will it hurt any if I downloaded all the enclosed downloads you listed? If so could you please example how and what I need to look for and in which programs to know about the codec?
