How to play MPG/AVI file if DVD is occupied?

by **galileo2000** on Mon Jan 09, 2006 2:01 am

I've tried it with TheaterTek, PowerDVD and WinDVD. I click on media file, be it AVI or MPG and click Play. If there is a DVD mounted (either physical or through Daemon) , they will play DVD instead of my media file. Am I doing something wrong? Any way to fix it through File Types / Parameters?

Thanks in advance.

Why dont you use Zoom Player and force it to load in media mode when an AVI/MPG is selected
