Your codes looks fine. Unfortunately, I don't have TMT3 and HD-DVD ISO to try it for you. Can you manually mount one HD-DVD ISO with the available VCD drive? Try to playback the mounted ISO using TMT3......just want to see if it can playback using TMT3 by itself...
Yeah it works just fine. It's all good. I think I'm just going to rip to mkv. I wanted to keep as isos in case I ever have issues my combo bluray / hd dvd drive but honestly the movies I have on hd dvd are not that important to me anyway.

If I'm not mistaken, RegExps are case sensitive.[/quote]I tried it both way, and it doesn't seem to matter but it doesn't hurt to leave it in though.....

Yes, it does.

Hello i would use uMCEPlayer5.exe , work better with IRmon and Logitech Armony One too?

Okay, so..I'v spent the whole Sunday to do a fresh, clean install. All drivers were updated by Driver Genius. Big thanks to your original codes from post 1. (except that I removed "X86" ) here are the results:
BDMV files now plays almost perfect, except a "gap" while XBMC UI exits and TMT5 shows up...during this you can see the Desktop, and a command line window on it: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe. It takes only 2-2.5 sec but very annoying. The same happens on the way back to the XBMC UI.
ISO files were mounting , but sometimes I'v had the feeling that the code calls TMT5 too early, so it cannot starts playing.... If I hit OK again (still while inside TMT UI), over the mounted ISO, it starts playing immediately. The above mentioned "gap" exists here too. I tried to find out if any of my ISO files are broken, but all looks good. If I mount them outside XBMC, TMT5 plays them nicely.
Playing actual discs works ok, again except the "gap".
Unfotunately I cannot switch to BDMV files only, since 90 (more than 24 TB ) percent of my movies are ISO's... I could be wrong, but what about adding little delay in launching TMT5, this way VCD has enough time to mount the ISO??
Also, any idea how to get rid of the "gap" between XBMC and TMT5? I would like to see a nice, smooth transition between the apps, without seeing an ugly desktop...
Cheers

If it still doesn't work right, I'll try to generate new codes with delay in it when I have time......

No change...all the ISO's were mounted, but the playback just randomly starting...

The gap now disappeared, but the mentioned command line window (C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe) now shows up on top of the XBMC UI till TMT5 taking over....

@LCD72-
Can you replace all "uMCEPlayer5.exe" with this "uTotalMediaTheatre5.exe"?

Did it, and replaced everywhere (including the .bat files), now all I get is "External Player Active, click OK when playback has ended" message, floating over the XBMC UI.... So, I'v went back to the playercorefactory code to replace
<hidexbmc>false</hidexbmc> with <hidexbmc>true</hidexbmc>
Now XBMC hides (there's the gap of course, while desktop is visible), uTotalMediaTheatre5.exe take the role. VCD mounts, TMT plays....
I may be wrong, but is this means that there's something with uMCEPlayer5.exe? If possible, I would prefer to use uMCEPlayer, because I will use MCE remote in the future, easier to use, and I like the smooth skin of it.
