Thanks Jeff R ---RE: The original disc plays fine in the stand-alone player (OPPO 93), and I know about using speed menu, but I am able to get the original disk to play with AnyDVD running. After the loading animation and the Paramount intro plays it gets stuck at a black screen and all I have to do is do a "CNTRL + T" to get past it and the menu and everything works great. If I do a backup of this "hangs at a black screen disk", it will exhibit the same problem on my Oppo also. I like the speed menu as a last resort but I really want to keep the original menu for the selection of chapters and audio. It just seems like a simple enough fix to add a "CNTRL + T" command in the Java fix when SlySoft does it's magic. thanks for your assistance, Jeff R. /W
