James, thanks for the help!!!
Tried the DVD on a computer. Similar results. It plays the DVD, the timer shows this is about a 24 minute clip, it plays the title for the first 10 seconds, then the screen goes black, even though the timer keeps counting as if it's playing. There's no video or audio.
MPEG file properties show:
Type of File: Movie Clip (.mpeg)
Size: 1.42 GB
Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.
