    I can't seem to get Media Smart DVD to play my movie DVDs. It just says format not supported. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but all I get is "error reading setup initialization file." Is it not compatible with W7?

    I recently began experiencing the same problem. Did you ever find a solution to this problem?

    Use a different program to play the DVD.
