I have a hd-dvd movie FOLDER on my hard drive. How can I play it? What app?

I know PowerDVD can play hd-dvd but I would have to bootcamp and copy the > 20GB movie on my small WinXP partition.

And quicktime can only play hd-dvd you create on your mac.

Any help would be appreciated,
THANKS!

I open the EVO file of the movie and there was NO video. the sound was great but would stop momentarily every few seconds.

I also opened the EVO of the extra stuff (Director's commentary, etc..) and the video worked but was not good quality (especially considering it's HD).. it was shaking every few seconds. Also there was NO audio.

I think VLC has very limited support for EVO and is really buggy.

VLC will eventually support HD-DVD but is PowerDVD/WinXP/Bootcamp the only solution for now?

The latest DVD Player (as in, the one with the OS) has support for certain HD-DVDs. It's a bit of hit and miss, I think it supports discs with MPEG2 video only, and is intended to verify projects from DVD studio.

The latest nightlies of VLC will play VC1, although I'm not sure that it supports the menus etc of HD-DVD.

I've read that the nightlies support it, but I doubt the stable release does.
