Doesn't InterActual Player 2.0 allow you to configure some other player
such as PowerDVD as the default player. I know that in my case I just
had to oper InterActual Player, go to configure, settings, Default DVD
Player and browse to PowerDVD. In my situation the browse sequence was:
C\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD\PowerDVD.exe%1
I now have both InterActual Player and PowerDVD installed and the
default player is PowerDVD. If for some reason you want to use
InterActual Player you then would have to close PowerDVD and then open
the InterActual Player to play the DVD.
