Hi,
I ripped the HD-DVD version of Digital Video Essentials-HD to my hard drive using AnyDVD HD 6.1.7.0 and tried to play it back using PowerDVD Ultra 7.3 with all of the latest patches. No errors were reported during the rip, but the menus are non-functional (see bottom of post) when trying to play it back. I tried to play it back directly from the disc with AnyDVD disabled and it worked fine. Here's the list:
1. 6.1.7.0, yes
2. Check
3. a) Digital Video Essentials-HD, b) N/A, c) US, d) not sure, some time in 2007
4. Xbox360 HD DVD drive, Windows XP SP2 (also tried playback on a Vista machine)
5.
6. No error message.
7. done, nothing turned up for "digital video essentials"
OK, what I mean by non-functional is this. This disc has a top-level menu (Video Tests, Audio Tests) which works fine. Choosing either of these brings up a scroll list (looks like a scene chooser), however all of the selections are set to "play all", and choosing any of these has no effect. Also, the back button is missing.
