[MacDV] Playing a Mac generated DVD on Windows XP

[cathal mc carthy]

I have had this problem and what I found was that win media player 
doesn't seem to recognise apple dvd-r or something.
However when I loaded up the dell cinemaster software that came with my 
6 yr old dell running win 98 it played perfect full screen and all.

Below is a link sent to me some time ago about this. Maybe you can 
search the thread on this -Cathal

That is a link were you can buy the software that enables WMP to play 
DVDs.
