I think the HD you are seeing is refering to Hard drive file not High definition.

Even though I have the originia DVDs, the usage rights don't seem to convey when I copy the files to the hard drive for ease of use in Hoster (it takes what seems forever for a video file to load if I import from the DVD). I am wondering if that could also have something to do with it.

I shall keep trying until I hear from MTU.

Thanks!

You don't really want media usage rights to be enabled as that would restrict your use to use it on other computers. That normally comes about if you rip music disks as wma files best to stick with mp3 in the case of Audio ripping. Your second point about them taking a long time to load from DVD is normal.

From reading your messages again, it seems you have just copied the .vob file straight from the DVD, this could possibly be a problem as the .vob files direct from a DVD contain other data. I think you would be better of ripping them from the DVD to hard drive via a dvd ripping software. when you say they play in media player do you mean your hard drive versions or straight from the disc.
