Thanks for the response Vlad. I have found a work around, and it's a lengthy process but it works. It is surprising to me that this was never handled by the industry, I can't image the HD DVD industry getting too bend out of shape about converting their format. Additionally, it looks like none of the "media players" will play the movies either. I can get VLC to play a file but not the movie, another oddity.
In any event, thanks for the info.
