Complaints about playing movies on computer?

Well all the other Power DVD version played my movies on my computer hard drive just fine. This version basically does fine, but the problem that it has and is very annoying is that it doesnt play the movie continually. The movies on the computer are in a few files. So when playing using PowerDVD 12 it will play the first file, then there is a break or lag till the next file plays. Instead of playing all the files in the folder as one, it separates them into files. None of my other version did that.

Is there a fix or does someone else have this problem and knows how to fix it?

Hi,
if you use DVD ripped content you need to ensure that the full and correct disc-structure is stored (contain all files in a l Vidos_TS folder, like the original DVD).
When using correct DVD folder structure the playback is smooth and like phsysical DVD.

The Disc Structure playback feature can be found on the left bottom of the UI - do not use the file playback feature, as this is not intended to playback Disc structures - please also check the manual (use F1 to call it up)

When use File playback the files are playbacked individually, like single files, this is expected for file playback

I wonder what caused this. By the way, what is the file playback primarily used for?

I am not doing anything different with playing these files on my computer, other than upgrading to PowerDVD12.

I have basically used PowerDVD since version 5 and have always been able to play movies from my computer directly without having issues playing the folder in which the DVD is stored in. Which is usually 4 or more files. If I chose the Video folder the files where in, it would automatically play all the files in order non stop without any interruption. But since upgrading to PowerDVD 12 it will not do that anymore. It simply will play each file, within the folder. It plays all the files but one at a time and pauses when it changes the file.

Hi,
please use the feature to playback disc structure and not the file playback.

I guess I am not really understanding what you are saying. I have looked for what you say in the bottom left of the UI and am not seeing it. I have also tried to find it in the Manual using F1. I am just not seeing it. Maybe I am just missing something here. Can you please try to explain better or maybe a link showing or something? I appreciate it very much. Thank you Michael for your help.
