microDVD (+grf) & XP SP1

Although I think that XCD being a new standard will lead us to a better future, I still have to use microDVD player for my 120 movies encoded as microDVDs. For having more than one audio-stream on a microDVD I used the graphedit-files (refer to manual).

And now my problem: after upgrading my WinXP Corp with SP1, I can't play microDVDs any longer. Even if I try to open the grf-files directly using MediaPlayer 6.4 or graphedit, I get an error.
So I created new grf-files & compared them in notepad with those burnt to CD with "old" WinXP, no difference.

So where's the problem? I would be really very happy if someone has an idea!! (Don't want to loose all my lovely movies due to m$-strategies)

Thanks in advance

Thats why I would never recommend to anyone making non-standard movie formats. You never know whats around the corner, make them at your own risk.

VCD, SVCD, DVD and even DivX will be supported for a long time to come.

Sorry I cant really help you other than to suggest a dual booting PC (your old OS and XP).

Thanks chickenman for reply.

But btw, it's not XP the problem, but only SP1.

Anyway, found a solution, for anyone who's interested:

Just get a quartz.dll from a non-updated XP & restore it after updating to SP1 in save-mode, that's it!

Now it works again,
