I've been trying to troubleshoot this for days, and would very much appreciate any insight or suggestions you may have.
I recently installed PowerDVD 10 Ultra, patched to the latest version (2429), along with Virtual CloneDrive under Windows 7 and have been happily playing BD ISOs converted from MKV using either tsMuxer or AVS Video Converter and created using ImgBurn. Yay!
This weekend, I performed the same set of installations on my Windows XP SP3 laptop. No joy. Using an unpatched version of PowerDVD 10 (1516), the BD ISO, created with UDF 2.5 and mounted with VCD, is recognized and plays as a Blu-ray Disc. When I load any of the later patches of PowerDVD 10 (2325, 2429), the software then starts complaining that "There is a disc with an unsupported format in drive E:"
This clearly seems to be PowerDVD performing additional checks on my Windows XP system, determining (somehow) that the VCD-mounted BD ISO isn't kosher. I can browse the files on the VCD drive and even double-click the 00000.m2ts file which plays in the patched version of PowerDVD.
As my latest attempt, I loaded AnyDVD HD trial to see if it's UDF 2.5 filters could "rightsize" PowerDVD's opinion of the virtual drive, but still get the same error. If I uninstall PowerDVD 10 and re-install the unpatched version, everything works fine.
My questions to this esteemed and responsive audience are:
* Have you run into this before?
* Do you have any troubleshooting suggestions?
* Can you think of a workaround?
The only "solution" I'm aware of is to run down-rev PowerDVD 10 and hope none of the bug fixes were all that important. I'm hoping you guys can come up with more ideas and suggestions.
Thanks!
