Hi, I have an unusual situation....
I'm using VMWare in Linux to try out CloneDVD...everything works fine except for being able to preview the different titles in CloneDVD's 'preview' window. I get a PictureViewer error. I assume this has something to do with the fact that I'm running Windows in a virtual environment, but I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting.
I know it's not my hardware, because I have rebooted the machine into a real copy of Windows Vista (I run a dual-boot machine), and CloneDVD works perfectly. I can see previews of the titles and everything.
I am trying to get CloneDVD to work in the virtual Windows on Linux however, so that I can avoid rebooting my machine as much as possible.
So, where do I begin troubleshooting? What is driving the CloneDVD preview window - the one that shows previews of the titles so that I can select and deselect titles I don't want? Is it using DirectX or something? I am trying to figure out where VMWare may be lacking so that maybe I can post details to the VMWare forum so they can fix it.
So if anyone can tell me what technology or driver the preview window is using, that'd give me a direction to start troubleshooting. Like I said, I can continue forward and burn the DVDs just fine - the preview is the only thing not working.
Thanks!
