Some DVD player features not working?

[Guest t6ti00]

I've been thinking about using DVBViewer for playing DVD's, too. Everything else works perfectly, except three things:

 

 

In Settings -> Videos:

 

Default functions for Stop and Exit are:

 

Stop: Last Cahnnel

Exit: No

 

These will work fine.

 

When I try to change them to the following:

 

Stop: DVD Menu

Exit: Last Cahnnel

 

Stop will take me to Last Channel and Exit will shutdown DVBViewer.

 

Also:

 

- "Continue and ask"-option doesn't work. It will always continue.

 

- Subtitles are always in english by default, no matter what I choose.

 

 

Other thing is about video display:

 

Movies will run at full screen, but some documentaries in bonus DVD:s will make 4:3 frame on my 16:9 display and the picture is drawn as 16:9 within that 4:3 frame. This doesn't happen with other DVD player software. All are at full screen there.

 

Bugs or not? Is there a way to get those things working properly?

 

Thanks.

Update:

 

I have downloaded and installed the newest DVBViewer and had a look on DVD playback again:

 

- Remote control seems to work fine now.

 

- "Continue and ask"-option works, but playback freezes at the beginning, if used.

 

- Subtitles are disabled by default, no matter what has been chosen via Options, DVBViewer can not change them automatically. Manually they work fine.

 

- Some documentaries are still shown in a smaller area, but "None" asppect ratio setting will make them a bit larger. I noticed that WMP shows them in same way.

 

DVBViewer's DVD playback seems to be improved. Now those problems don't bother me, so I have chosen it as my default DVD-palyer and uninstalled PowerDVD. Fixes for the remaining problems would be of course welcome, but not necessary.

That sounds some auto zoom function with letterboxed 4:3, you can do it manually in DVBViewer by setting a zoom preset (right click zoom, or set remote control button).
