Just out of mild curiosity has anyone had a chance to look into this? My understanding is that this DVD player app just needs to request permissions to external media, than flag itself as a dvd playback program (so it can be set as the default DVD player and be launched when a DVD is inserted). Then...

Hi this skin is no longer available

And does it support fullscreen mode? thanks.

svg is a vector image format that describes images as lines, instead of simply telling the color of each block.

Basically it would be indistinguishable from a font.

Ok, then would you by any chance know which skins do support it? preferably one with an unobtrusive theme that blends into Windows 8?

I got the skins from the package at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.php and obviously those don't work.

I know I'm being picky and I'm sorry.

Because Windows 8 tore out DVD playback without actually providing a decent third-party alternative (ideally metro), I've been using VLC. VLC is fine, except I consider the default skin to look terrible. Unfortunately, it seems the default skin is the only one that properly supports full screen mode...

When called from a Metro style app, CreateFile2 is simplified. Only files or directories may be opened, and exclusive access to a file or directory is only granted if the Metro style app has write access to the file. WinRT filesystem is very limited. I don't know about you, but to me; locking a dir...

All this Metro application has to do (theoretically, and let's call it "PlayDVD") is access the files (which it can do) No, it cannot... You can only access files from the application jail. What do you mean by that? As long as you include a flag to request filesystem access you're fine. W...

Yes, I'm saying it would e a good idea to charge for these applications. Metro applications are only available through the marketplace, so it would be a good idea to play by the rules. Besides being able to be promoted as an official app, PlayDVD and PlayDisc could possibly be an excellent funding s...

I never said anything about Windows 8 RT. I'm referring to Windows on Intel/AMD. But that primarily depends on if WinRT has support for USB optical drives or not (which it may) Or did you mean WinRT as in Metro applications (instead of WInRT as in Windows on ARM computer)? In which case I apologize...

I don't need an all-in-one application because i prefer Media Browser, which is currently being ported to metro. But I'd love to have a Metro Bluray/DVD playback application. Cyberlink is working on one, but the demos indicate that DVD playback is just tacked on, with no mention of blu-ray. I know y...
