Just purchased the above title, and AnyDVD HD does not reconize it as a HD DVD. Rip says "No HD media present". Also Power dvd 7.1 gives error E9040204 and stops. The structure on disk looks funny..

Whats up??
I was afraid of this. This particular title would not play on the 360 drive regardless of Anydvd or not. Although there has been a "Patch" for the 360, this was a problem title because of the way it was authored. Check out this thread on AVS for more info. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=773356&highlight=heart+360 So I'm not (too) surprised about this title. It is a great concert too and I'm sure it can be fixed.
The problem is, that AnyDVD HD requires an ADV_OBJ directory and a HVA00001.VTI file in the HVDVD_TS directory. In other words: It only works with discs authored with iHD menus. Why? Because I didn't know better when designing the program ... Sorry. I have ordered the disc and I will create an updated AnyDVD HD version soon. This will not make the disc magically work with PowerDVD Ultra of course, so you should inform Cyberlink support of the problem as well.
