What software are you using to play the DVD movie? Maybe you need the codecs for
the audio.
The secondary channel I referred to pertains to the IDE channel on your
motherboard. The primary channel is usually used for the system's hard drive(s).
Sometimes users will install an optical drive as a slave unit on the primary. I
was simply stating how my system is configured....just for your information.
Microsoft offers a free utility that you can download and run to determine if
you have the proper codecs in your system. Here's the link:

Let me know if it shows your system to be lacking the video codecs.
Off Topic: I noticed that you appear to have used your regular e-mail address in
these postings. Not a good idea....it should be altered. See the section titled,

and have to learn this still......Peter
