Hi Steve.

Thanks, but I know about that option.  What I really need from a DVD software 
player is the ability to bookmark and resume playback, change audio language 
settings on the fly, navigate through my DVD and adjust controls such as 
volume, play, pause and stop etc from the keyboard.  Nero ShowTime fulfils all 
these requirements, its just you can't install it separately from the Nero 
suite without a lot of faffing about.

  Hi Ibrahim,

   

  You can play picture in DVD extractor, there is an option to check it.  If 
you don't have it, then upgrade.

   

  All the best

  Hi Andy.

   

  Firstly, yes I know XP has its own cd burning software, but this is very 
basic and insufficient for my needs really.  Secondly, I own a copy of DVD 
audio extractor but I want a dvd player for displaying picture as well as 
sound.  I'm also looking for on the fly navigation through the dvd, various 
sound options, audio track selection etc which can't be done using DVD Audio 
Extractor not at least when the disk is playing.  You can't even bookmark 
positions or return to where you last left off.

    Hi Ibrahim -

     

    Isn't your netbook an XP machine? XP has a built-in burning facility.

     

    Chris recommended DVD Audio Extractor, note, this is software to rip the 
audio track from a dvd, you can play the dvd without ripping the sound track, 
but there is no picture, don't know if that matters to you. I like DVD Audio 
Extractor because I can save the sound track in mp3, and put it on my phone or 
whatever, and take it on the move! -

      Hi Everyone.

       

      I was wondering if anyone could recommend a lightweight accessible dvd 
player and a cd burning application that I could use on my netbook free or 
otherwise.  The reason for asking this question is that I don't really want to 
install Nero or Roxio as these suite packages are extremely large, come with 
many components I probably wouldn't use and are a hog on system resources.  All 
I'm really looking for is a wizard based cd burner capable of burning basic 
audio and data disks but with advanced options as well, and for the dvd player 
something that has plenty of shortcut keys for performing playback and other 
functions.

       

      All the best and look forward to hearing from someone.
