Hi This was a new HD-DVD title released today. I'm not trying to copy it....just trying to watch it. The disc loads, plays FBI warning, & displays two title clips (title 1, title 2)in a continuos loop. The chapter menu is grayed out (I believe there are 6 chapters on the disc) Basically you can't access any chapters, so it's impossible to watch the disc. I'm using WinDVD V8 OEM HD install for an Asus W2P laptop (Vista Ultimate). I enabled slysoft logging....below is the output debug: send_scan_cmd 3 debug: send_scan_cmd 0 debug: scan_drives_thread received Message 131c7b8, CMD 3! debug: THREADCMD_ENABLE ON! debug: scan_drives_thread received Message 131c788, CMD 0! debug: scan_drives_thread start force 1 lock 1 refresh_speed 0! debug: Drive E: real max_transfer_count = 63, nobypass 0! debug: open_drive E: TOSHIBA DVDW/HD TS-L802A 04/19/06E64220 debug: active debug: medium state: 2 debug: ready debug: track 1 from 0 to 11553568, Control 4 debug: Drive 1 debug: drive 1 debug: hd-dvd version 3 120mm reserved opposite debug: Layer 0 End: 5876383 debug: layer 1 read free debug: standard udf debug: label PLANET_EARTH_D2 debug: Drive E: locked, result 1, took 1 seconds! debug: busy debug: parse_image took 4 seconds debug: hdtitles debug: Sending Patchlevel 0 debug: mode 5407 0x151f debug: Drive E: unlocked! debug: on debug: scan_drives_thread WaitForSingleObject timeout 2000! debug: scan_drives_thread WaitForSingleObject timeout 2000! debug: scan_drives_thread timeout 2000! debug: Drive E: real max_transfer_count = 63, nobypass 0! debug: open_drive E: TOSHIBA DVDW/HD TS-L802A 04/19/06E64220 debug: active debug: medium state: 2 debug: ready debug: on debug: scan_drives_thread WaitForSingleObject timeout 2000! debug: scan_drives_thread timeout 2000! debug: Drive E: real max_transfer_count = 63, nobypass 0! debug: open_drive E: TOSHIBA DVDW/HD TS-L802A 04/19/06E64220 debug: active debug: medium state: 2 debug: ready debug: on debug: scan_drives_thread WaitForSingleObject timeout 2000! debug: scan_drives_thread timeout 2000! debug: Drive E: real max_transfer_count = 63, nobypass 0! debug: open_drive E: TOSHIBA DVDW/HD TS-L802A 04/19/06E64220 debug: active debug: medium state: 2 debug: ready debug: on debug: scan_drives_thread WaitForSingleObject timeout 2000! debug: scan_drives_thread timeout 2000! debug: Drive E: real max_transfer_count = 63, nobypass 0! debug: open_drive E: TOSHIBA DVDW/HD TS-L802A 04/19/06E64220 debug: active debug: medium state: 2 debug: ready (it carries on with the above loop over and over again. I tried various configs within AnyDVD, Allowing parental restrictions, allowing splash screens, skip menus, play movie with no menus...nothing worked Anyone have any suggestions....
hddvd wont play you need to plug it back into your xbox 360(if you have one...if not use a mates 360 ) and then put the hddvd into the drive and update from microsoft(it will do this automatically...then return the drive to your computer
