I am able to play the dvd using windows media player. it just has problems
with the ActiveX component in delphi. VB6 Sample application works. I even
went as far as re-writing the sample application in Delphi, with no change
in the problem. I double checked my Delphi code in the sample app and it
looks like it is an exact copy of the vb code (i did leave out the
validation of one of the fields that checks to make sure the user actually
entered a numeric value but that shouldnt make a difference.) if anyone
would like to see the delphi code for the re-written sample app, you can
find it at the following link

Thanks,

Josh
