Both the ATI DVD player and PowerDVD are capable to properly use the win2k autoplay. So, that software must be doing something special during install that VLC didn't ?DVD Player
There is no Windows 2000 compatible DVD decoder installed on this system. A DVD decoder device or decoder software is required to play movies (a DVD drive alone is not sufficient).
If this computer could play DVD Videos before Windows 2000 was installed then your DVD decoder is not compatible with Windows 2000. You may be able to fix this problem by downloading new decoder software from your computer manufacturer. Please visit http://www.hardware-update.com using your Internet browser.

Is it possible that VLC should be updating the execution options in the registry key:....There is no Windows 2000 compatible DVD decoder installed on this system. A DVD decoder device or decoder software is required to play movies (a DVD drive alone is not sufficient)...
It is possible - might be worth a try, what is the contents of the dvdplay.exe regitry entry/entries?Is it possible that VLC should be updating the execution options in the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\dvdplay.exe
The problem is, I do not know what to do or where to look for, to pinpoint what is missing (or what is it that Advanced DVD is doing differently)Probably: patches are welcome.
