Cyberlink and Media Survailence

Recently I experienced a four day Internet outage.

Cyberlink is my only video player.

During the outage I could not play any DVD videos.

I find it distressing that Cyberlink seems to be tracking my viewing down to the minute or less.

Do other such media players do the same thing?

Any player recommendations for watching DVD's without connecting to the Internet?


Thanks for your replies and suggestions.

Use free VLC player. Will play DVDs and CDs. If there's any kind of media file it can't play, I haven't found it. - https://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Thanks again Denis.

I could not easily find any settings.
If you know where they are I will have a look.

I like the VLC for the cross platform capabilities. I downloaded it.

Someday I will put trying to play some videos with and without the Internet using both players on the to-do list.

The DVD I was watching at the start of outage froze at that moment. I tried it the next day. Same thing. . Maybe I should have pulled the RJ45 and had another go?: Did not think about that in my distress in loosing contact with the world!

Hopefully we will not have any more intense fires that melt the fiber optic lines.

I am having trouble finding the options settings page you speak of Denis..

I did not see anything in Control :Panel or have any luck clicking on the response in the Charms(?) list under the Window key.

Could kindly provide some path details?

Thanks
