Running AnyDVD 6.4.7.9 on 64-bit Vista SP1. Scandinavian version of Predator 2 won't run at all on either PowerDVD 8 or WinDVD9, with or without AnyDVD. The latter blinks an error message too fast for reading, and PDVD shows a studio-created text screen which urges the consumer to download the...

Right. Except, no. Maybe this issue is covered later in the thread (haven't read it all the way to the end yet), but in case it isn't... DTS-HD MA soundtracks do *not* contain DTS-HD High Resolution data. MA and HR are two different codecs/extensions, and don't co-exist on top of a DTS core...

That's good info. Thanks, Mangoat.

I believe that's an issue with the Nero player. I consider it still a beta product.

Peer & co., is it within AnyDVD's (future?) capabilities to help users grab screenshots? As you know, PDVD disables screen capture function whenever playing HD/BD titles and that's a massive pain in the bum for me. I have a professional need to cap screens from HD/BD, especially of the menus...

Yes, and it's old, and already called by Warner as "misquoted and misconstrued". See http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Warner/Warner_Says_Blu-ray_Comments_Misquoted_and_Misconstrued/1135 Warner supports both formats, period.

I tested a rip of FF2 on the Japanese Digital Theatre 2. Copyright warnings and trailers work, as does the main menu, but the movie itself does not.

The only bit interesting in your post is your confusion about aspect ratios and pretty much everything else.

But is this a case of a bug in PowerDVD? Has anyone tried burning ripped data along with BDSVM directory to a BD-R/RE and play that in a stand-alone player?

Ohhh, that sounds bad. What sort of issues?

Where did you get an English language version, if I may ask?

Ah... some trojans can masquerade themselves as afc.sys, I see.

According to ArcSoft, they should have an English language version (called TotalMedia Theatre) for Europe and North America out "very soon". No idea what that means in actual days/weeks/months.

ArcSoft themselves told me that "ATI UVD acceleration is not fully supported", and we were specifically talking about HD DVD and BD playback. I use HD2600, too, and I'm well aware that when video acceleration is enabled, CPU load drops. So there is some support, but it's not "full support" - yet.

Well folks, turns out I was wrong, and good thing too! Digital Theatre 2 is not based on WinDVD after all. That's good news, right? The bad news is that at the moment it doesn't have proper ATI UVD acceleration support in place. Nvidia is fully supported, however.

You didn't; I just missed the part where you mentioned a PC. It's like Adbear commented. BD+ won't prevent you from playing the discs on your PC. You only need to use player software that is BD+ compatible. PowerDVD should be, I think.

Yeah, of course. But that's in the (possible) future, not right now. My answer was about the present day.

You're out of luck. AnyDVD HD can't help you play BD+ protected region A discs on your region B PS3.

OK, but only thanks to your choice of nick. Black Adder, right? Sheer unadulterated genius. Spider-Man 121min 12sec 28 chapters Spider-Man 2 127min 28sec 50 chapters Spider-Man 2.1 135min 48sec 52 chapters Spider-Man 3 139min 11sec 52 chapters

1) All three movies are region free. Tested the Australian trilogy on my region A PS3. 2) No idea, sorry.
