What Win95 Software is required to operate a DVD Drive 1

[Tarquine]

I have just installed a Pioneer 114 (tray) DVD Drive and Win95 can only see 270Mb of it's content; there are no problems with normal CD disks.<br>
<br>
What software is required to run and read DVD data disks. I am using a RealMagic Pro Decoder with RealMagic Control Centre. Win95 V2 has &quot;seen&quot; my drive and listed it correctly. Is there any other software needed eg. Win95 drivers. I have looked on Pioneer's web site but there doesn't appear to be any. Has anyone got any good ideas?<br>
<br>
Regards<br>

This may not be the answer you expected, but it is our practice. We have been a reseller<br>
for 15 years. Whenever a new product is<br>
distributed (DVD in this case) there are<br>
many vendors to choose from. Until the<br>
product is 'stabilized', many will exhibit<br>
problems. Our suggestion is to return it<br>
and try another model or manufacturer. Why<br>
spend your precious time troubleshooting<br>
a new product? Computer equipment is the<br>
only product where people seem to accept<br>
'defective' products. No one I know purchases<br>
clothing, cars, etc, then expects to spend<br>
hours of their time on the phone or Web Sites<br>
trying to figure out how to use the product.

What a great piece of advice. I have now replaced my Pioneer 114 tray drive for a Toshiba 1302 8X 40X tray model, and it works a treat.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the advice and for taking the time out to answer my query.<br>

Somtime time ago I was installing DVD's and they would not play moves but did would <br>
read files, So here is what I found out. DVD moves are region specific and requier a download to read the cd properly. It might be that you need the download to read the DVD disc. Hope this helps.<br>
