HOWTO - Media Player Classic register as default DVD player

[Gwido]

Hey All,

thought this may help some people using legacy hardware and wanting to play DVD's under Vista due to MP11's resource hungryness and need to use registered codecs.

Install Sharks Vista Codec Pack

Install mediaplayer classic - do not worry if it prompts that it didnt install properly - it did

Edit this Registry Key

HKEY_Classes_root\DVD\Shell\Play\Command\

DefaultValue: change to "<path to Media Player Classic>\mplayerc.exe /DVD "%L"

Now you can select and set Media Player Classic within the default actions in Vista for DVD playback

I spent weeks looking for this only to come accross it in some OPK FEST powerpoint slides
