Windows Media Player is potential
[Archived in Entry, Video Digital]
Chris Barrus on 2002/02/20:
„The new version of Windows Media Player maintains a logfile of all the media (digital video and DVD, digital audio and CD) that each user plays on it, much like a browser's cache. Unlike a browser-cache, however, WMP talks to a centralized server every time you insert new media and transmits a unique identifier number that could be stored and sold to marketers (though MSFT says they won't be doing this). And like a history file, the media player's file can be the source of embarassment if spouses, parents, employers, kids, etc get into it and discover your dirty little viewing and listening habits.“

„It's not a good idea to mix different resolutions, but more than likely, the dvd will play fine. On a technical note, all pgcs under a titleset must be the same resolution, but the header for the mpeg stream is still written in the VOB, so the player should change the resolution when it reaches that pgc. It is possible to add new titlesets by editing the XML directly.“http://users.adelphia.net/~liquid64/readme.html - Cached
