I have a question for you guys. Have any of you been able to burn a copy of LOTR and have it play on the NC. I've tried 3 different programs (Handbrake and WinXDVD and a third which I can't remember the name of). Handbrake will not even recognize the disc and the other 2 will copy the movie but when I move it over to the NC it says that the file is unplayable. I've tried about every MP4 resolution including some of the recommendations from this thread with no luck. I do know that the disc has some sort of .exe file that it wants to install to play the files but other than that, I'm at a loss. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Stephen.
