Where's the Slysoft player James? Looks like nobody else is gonna be able to knock one out of the park in this ballgame.
Since last summer IIRC. So yea, there really is no excuse for the sad shape this is in. I mean, ATI only support in Vista? Um, WHAT? No BD+ support? Excuse me? And the various other issues that people have found. Also, if you uninstall it, as I did on my laptop(never made it to my HTPC thank God), it doesn't remove everything. I'm NOT amused with this software at all. They did not make a good impression on me. Oh well.

One remark I have is:
- powerdvd has been out much longer, but it is far from bugfree.
- arcsoft have just released their player, they are about to get more user experience feedback for bugfixing now that their product has been released.
I see some people are being pretty hard on Arcsoft, considering that WinDVD has never even worked properly on many systems and Nero showtime with high def plugin doesn't cut it for many either: these products have already been out for some time now ...
Let's hope they are faster/better at fixing the outstanding issues than PowerDVD is + they won't strip features off like their competitor did under pressure of the industry.
Unfortunately, over the years PowerDVD has proven to me to be the better player on the market - atleast uptil now... Doesn't mean they could do a better job at actually fixing the bugs and improving on it. Maybe it's about time for somebody else to develop one that beats it in terms of features, reliability/stability... Slysoft? I see a big hole in the market you can take advantage of
This software is not worth 1 cent.
As I already said some days ago, this is the worst piece of SW I ever had on my system. 2 virus alerts on startup, then BSOD and restart, without any possibility to find out what is wrong.
Why the hell did the idiots of Cyberlink ever removed the HD playback possibility.
I never thought that the day comes when I LIKE to use PDVD.
Slysoft, thats really no joke, u have the biggest chance of all to just make an all-inclusive HD-PLayer with AnyDVD HD included. That would be the absolute killer application.
I mean they say right on the page "does not work with anything but ATI in Vista". GREAT! There goes a large portion of your market right there.
