Windows 8 Release Preview: Media controls are not consistent across the system: WMC integrates standalone rewind controls, while WMP or Metro media players do not. The maximum I can get from Windows 8 is DVD-Video playback from DVD drive in WMC. Forget about WMP playing the DVD or about playing a DVD from your HDD. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPPJT0dFzcQ http://andrewz1986.blogspot.cz/2012/06/betatesting-windows-8-release-preview.html
