No problem, Hal, and I didn't mean to insult you in any way, was just
trying to help, really.
What I often do with Google is to begin a search with a simple term
such as "tray" in this case. That, of course, returns lots of hits
(15,100,000 in this case). Then I use Google's 'Search within results'
feature to add a second term -- "DVD" in this case. That narrows it
done to a still quite unmanageable 1,280,000 hits. I then continue
this 'Search within results' loop until I have a reasonable number of
possibilities (usually under 5000 or so) and start looking at the
individual results and following links as they seem most appropriate.
>Anyway, I'll check out the link and the program.
Okay, but note that I've never used the program am not therefore
making an endorsement of any kind for it. I've read claims made by
some that they had to reinstall DirectX after installing the program,
which doesn't sound good to me. I've also read that the program
requires a registered copy of either Mediachance's DVD-lab or DVD-lab
PRO as a prerequisite, but don't know how true that might be. More

By the way, although the link that I originally gave you works (using
a redirection, I suppose), it should have been as follows.
http://www.darkframe.de/SetupDVDTrayPlayerPro250.exe
The original bulletin board post announcing this latest version of the
program, posted by the program's author himself, Mark Hamilton, is
located at the following URL.

You can also download an earlier version of the program via the
following link.

And this earlier version is also available via the following link.
