DVD no codec or directshow

[stormin]

version 1.15 Karafun player.

Tried to play a DVD karaoke disc. but got a failure message stating that either I had no codec or directshow installed.

using gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/) to analysis the disc:

Gspot stated the codec was installed

Codec was MPEG2 (installed codec = MPEG2_Video) - installed

both Nero and WM11 also play the dvd with no problems

Karafun breaks down the dvd into chapters and titles. Just fails to play.


Any clues?
