After reading the description again for that BETA release....

Does this mean that I need to install AnyDVD on every PC which I want to watch a movie on so that the movie plays okay?

I rip movies ONLY on my "main" PC, but then transfer those to my HTPC. The HTPC is minimum configuration, meaning there is no SW on it that it doesn't need, so I never installed AnyDVD on it since I do not rip movies with that machine.
Does this mean I have to have AnyDVD loaded to the HTPC as well in order to not get the BLACK SCREEN ?

Thanks

Okay,

Just re-ripped EG with the latest BETA (7.4.3.2 2014 02 18) and still getting the Black Screen on the HTPC.

UHG.

What about my question regarding the Speed Menu (since this works on the HTPC) :

I re-ripped EG using AnyDVD speed menu. This has played so far. My only question is how do I know which audio track it is playing. The menu screen is a bit confusing. It shows that the Main movie is associated with AC3, but there are 2 additional audio tracks below the Feature, one of which says it is DTS-HD, but it shows it is only 3:25 in duration and when I select that option, it just goes back to the menu? How do I know it is using the DTS-HD soundtrack?

From the Speed Menu I have :

1. Feature (1:53:4 --> Playlist:815, Video:AVC, Audio:Eng AC3, Span AC3
2. Track 2 (00:07:45) --> Playlist:700, Video:AVC, Aduio:AC3
3. Track 3 (00:03:25) --> Playlist:30, Video:AVC, Audio:Eng DTS-HD

FIX for Black Screen from TMT6

HOLY CR4P.

I just got it figured out !!!!!!!!!!!

"FIX for Black Screen on Ender's Game Bluray"

I DELETED the file named "persistent.dat" located here:

Documents\ArcSoft\TotalMedia Theatre 6\LocalStorage\BDJ\persistent

After deleting this file I no longer have the black screen when playing Ender's Game Bluray and all is well again!

Enders Game doesn't have this problem, you won't see the message. Or do you?

No, I didn't have that problem, but did fix it by deleting a file. See post above.

Thanks James.

Nice when you figure out the problem on your own. Thanks for sharing the solution to that TMT problem, even though it's not an AnyDVD problem.

So after deleting that file did everything work or did you have to re-install TMT? It sounds like the "persistent.dat" file was either corrupted or invaded by malware.

Arcsoft Jason would most likely be able to tell you exactly what sort of file that is.
It's just in the My Documents folder anyway, when I have problems with TMT I just delete the whole folder _ TMT creates it again when a new movie is played.
Sometimes BDJ info from other movies conflict with newer versions, causing black screen problems or the player telling people that it needs an update etc.

No, not corrupt nor infected. It just keeps tabs on movies. I noticed it caused the movie "Mud" to do the same thing last night. I went back and deleted the file again (TMT will always create another copy upon TMT startup) and bingo. All good again. No need to re-install.

And without AnyDVD running, now does it play. Sounds like a player issue to me, I suspect you are using some freeware and not PowerDVD or TMT5.

AnyDVD already states this in the status window, doesn't it?
