Steve, I don't know if this will be much help but I have WMP9 also. I
have found that the program itself stop playing the media towards the
end. I have not figured out why but it happens almost every time I use
the program. Try using the Real Player if it supports DVD and see if you
can view the media. I just don't use WMP9 for anything except audio CD
and that is only because I like the screen shows.
