   See my later reply.  I tried "media player classic" and it worked =
just fine for me displaying the 1080p robotica the same as WMP.

     There is no protected content for it to apply.  As you note, =

     You would have to look at the encoder documentation to see to what=20

     I don't have a system on to which to install media player classic =

  don't like installing random software on my production systems.
