I think he just bunged it in the DVD player when he saw it was a DVD; he's going to try playing it on his PC which may work ... 

That could well be the problem.

Let's hope so. I've also just tried uploading it to YouTube and that works (private settings)

On a slightly similar note, I hada call yesterday from Mad Mandy (TMR knows of who I speak).

She was trying to run some language learning software (Croation) but she complained that there was no video only audio - she had paid for some plug-ing for Windows media Player but it made no difference. She could hear the words but there was no text on the screen.
I suggested she tried VLC.
Shortly afterwards, another call.
Still no pictures. Asked a few questions and found that she had got the software from the library and was not the usual Linguaphone/Rosetta Stone software.
Much mumbling as mandy conversed with Yasmine (TMR knows again).

After a long pause it transpired that there are no visual bits to see - the words are written in the book!

Now that reminds of a guy in a place I used to work. He complained he couldn't send a fax because the machine had run out of paper ...

Ooh, don't get me started.

It's been a lifetime of biting my tongue!

PS both previously mentioned females mad as a box of frogs.

My bank once, politely, refused an instruction I gave them by telephone (with all the necessary security codes) and confirmed by email but were happy with a fax as it "had a signature".
