Is it me? Having bought the latest pressing of Unknown Soldier, purely to get a preview of the Drury lane video, I have yet to see anything. I have had others attempt to achieve the playing of the dvd. All to no avail please don't reply with over techie jargon [Thanks] I just think if I buy something to relax with, I should not be expected to go to untold lengths to do just that? Fit for purpose?

What are you trying to play the DVD part on? A DVD player, computer (laptop/desktop) or something else?

Try(er) this then... with the CD in the computer CD drawer, open My Computer and right click on the CD drive icon and select Open. The CD-Extra file name will be displayed. Double click it. The video will play in your default media player. Maybe  Roll Eyes.

Try playing in a DVD player....?

Those machines are designed to find & play the video files

If it won't play in a DVD player, I would return it & say that it is faulty

I'd have said the DVD player was the least likely means of playing it.

Are you saying that in a PC drive looking at it through My Computer (or equivalent) you can see and select the file concerned and yet not play it?  What's the error message?

I have confirmation from Leola that the Drury Lane footage is "intentionally a hidden bonus on the CD, perhaps a little too well hidden", and will play only on a computer. It plays best if you copy the file to your hard drive.
