    so i bought a cd the other day with "enhanced" content - ie. it has bonus video on it. i put in the cd drive on my pc and.....nothing! i cant seem to access the video anywhere :eyebrow:
    what makes it worse is that my other cds that also have enhanced content no longer work on my pc :crying:
    is this a compatability issue with Windows XP or is it just my pc?
    :help:

    Try going to "My Computer", and selecting your CD-rom drive from there. The videos might be accessable from there.

    I think it's just your PC. I have put several Enhanced CDs in my XP machine without any issues.

    I do remember having issues on my old ME machine though.

    Windows only sees the last session on a CD.
    But usually that's the data part and you should be able to see the video. Did you disable autorun?

    You can use Isobuster to get at the video. www.isobuster.com

    thanks for the advice JMX. i cant see anything other than the audio when i view the cd through "my computer". im not sure how to disable autorun - is that the same as autoplay? i downloaded isobuster and used on the cd in question. it shows the data is there but i dont know what to do to access it. i tried extracting it but it just extracts it to a .bin file which i cant do anything with. please help :help:
