OT: no files seen in XP explorer with BD video

Just got my first BD burner. LG GGW-H20L at Frys for $239.

Seems to play BD videos fine, If you put a CD, standard DVD video, or data BD in the drive you can see the files in windows explorer. If it is a BD video or HD-DVD video (which also plays fine) you cannot see any files and may get an error message from windows (XP SP3).

Is this normal? Do others get the same behavior?

inquiring minds,

Rocky

Xp doesn't have the UDF driver - install it with a third-party software (like Nero, or Cyberlink InstantBurn that came with your drive).

I already had cyberlink PowerDVD installed. Does this mean I need to uninstall and reinstall it?

You need UDF reader/writer, which is only present in a burning software; not a DVD Player like PowerDVD.

Thanks. I also have Nero which I used to burn a BD data disk. That doesn't seem to have done it. I will try uninstall/reinstall of nero.

I also found some UDF 2.5 drivers on line.

Use the Toshiba UDF 2.5 driver you can find online.

See other posts for more info.
