I just upgrade to BD. I built a new computer and after all the problem I had getting it to work now I have been told the newer versions of cyberlink powerdvd will disable harddrive play back I was told nothing newer than 7.3319. I managed to get that one and a couple of other ones. Non of them worked. I haven't had the time to rip but a few films. Pirates of the caribbean 1 and 3 and Finding neverland. 3 and neverland have picture but no audio and 1 will play a blank screen during the film and if you skip forward you get the pirate in the menu and there must 20+ different chapters of him but no movie. I have the version the burner came with, that you have to upgrade to the latest version to work. I tried 7.3.3319f, PowerDVD 7.2 Version Ultra Deluxe,7.3.3516(extended edition) and the 3730 patch. I would buy one that works in a minute. Do I need to reformat and install the correct version? Is there a play back program that will play rips that I can buy?
well I don't know if anyone else had problems with PDVD but I can not get it to play rips. The 1st couple had picture and zero audio. The next had a silent black screen during the whole film but you could skip forward and watch the 20 menu chapters. The last 2 had picture and audio but it was all french and no way to change it. This exact same results with all version of PDVD I tried. On another forum it was sugested try arcsoft total media theater. I did and it all works. Pdvd can play orginals and total meddia theater for rips. now I'm a happy camper
Well I've never had any problems with My current powerDVD. But I went through hell trying to find the right version. I went through a lot just like you did and finally got version 7.3 ULTRA, and now it works fine. I am pretty sure that the deluxe editions wont play Blu-Rays from your harddrive properly for some stupid reason. Go search on T.P.B. for 7.3 ultra and not deluxe and uninstall your current version and see what happens.
I figured out what I was doing wrong. With my first version I could get in through the back door by opening media files. Thats why it seemed to work on some. With 3319a it works perfect. When I tested this version at first I was still going to open media files. So it still didn't work
