You must specify a -framefile argument when using VLDP.
If you didn't, then this is the problem. :)

There's your problem. You should probably copy your directory daphne and all its subdirectories to the root of C:\ to make things easirer to work on. Right now, its looking for something in your Documents and Settings folder. I would move everything to the root of C:
C:\daphne\....
Next, edit your DapthneLoaderPrefs.ini file to point to the the DVD framefile, on mine, there is a line:
MPEGInfoFile=c:\lair\framefile\lair_dvdrom.txt
Yours should say someting like:
MPEGInfoFile=c:\daphne\LASERDISKS\DRAGON'S LAIR\framefile\lair_dvdrom.txt
Restart Daphne to see if this works. If not, post your log file...
