SYMPTOMS
If you click one or more of the controls in Windows Media Player while a DVD is playing, the control may not work. For example, when you click Resume while a DVD is playing, nothing may occur.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the control has been disabled by the manufacturer of the DVD. There are many user operations that are controlled by settings that are made when the DVD is encoded by the manufacturer. If the control or feature is disabled by the manufacturer when the DVD is encoded, it will not work in Windows Media Player.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
Some of the features that can be controlled by the authoring of the DVD are:
 * Fast Forward
 * Menu
 * Next
 * Parental Level
 * Pause
 * Play
 * Previous
 * Resume
 * Rewind
 * Search
 * Stop

NOTE: There are additional features that may be set, and these settings can change at different points during playback. DVD playback in Windows Media Player for Windows XP requires a compatible DVD decoder.
