I would like to know this too, but If I had to guess, I would say this feature is still disabled, or even gone completly.

I'm sure it is to, I just don't want to update if there is no point.
 
For those asking how to email Cyberlink support, just go here:
http://www.cyberlink.com/english/cs/support/form/index.jsp

You need to login - so if you don't have an account, just create one. But if you don't have an authentic version, then don't bother.

I just downloaded the 3704, but I'm not going to bother trying it unless I can play from a folder on the hdd. Plus I won't be home until tomorrow anyway. ;)

I shot them an email as I have a legal OEM version that came with my LG drive. I also asked about re-enabling the play video from hard drive option. thank you.
 
Besides (maybe) better profile 1.1 support, perhaps it has a new set of keys for MKBv5, which should be due out soon, since it has been 3 months since MKBv4 came out.
 
First post so here goes. I shot an email to support yesterday and got this back mine being oem from my LG GGC - H20L

I got the same message. Shame on you Cyberlink! Please someone PM me the link or upload the file and send me that link. I want to see if they changed the BD region location again.
 
I've just installed it. None of my bugs are fixed. TrueHD audio is still ouput as 2-channel PCM over s/pdif :(.

I am sure there is come clever stuff not easily visible, including maybe enhanced disc compatibility, but otherwise a bit of a disappointment!

Sorry can't answer the first. No to the second (mounted image still works though).

Thanks.
I should've just been using iso's from the beginning. But I don't feel like converting them all now - guess my options are limited though.

You cannot play TrueHD 5.1 or higher audio over s/pdif because the bandwith is to high. It can only be played over multi-channel analog cables or hdmi. Powerdvd has no choice but to downsample it to 2 channels.
 
No. It is supposed to downmix it to 5.1 DD @640kb/s, but it does not. Cyberlink accept this as a bug.

I have noticed something annoying about this too. Whenever you set your speakers to 2-speaker or headphones, the TrueHD is downmixed to 2.0 as well. You might say duh, but this means that when using Dolby Headphone in PowerDVD, the DH processor will only get the 2.0 stream to work with. Dolby Virtual Speaker should suffer the same fate, but DVS is not very effective anyway. DH, on the other hand, has proven indispensable to me. Luckily I got audio cards with DH, so I can just set PowerDVD to 6 speakers (or 8 in Vista) and run DH in my card.

By the way, anyone else using DH? I have found that in Vista with a Sondigo Inferno (same chip as Auzentech X-prelude and the HT claro) I have to set PowerDVD to 8-channel, if I set it at 6, as it should be, the rear channels lose directionality and sound diffused. You can try and see this easily with any of the THX tests in many DVDs, or any speaker location test (if you haven't tried DH, you'll probably be surprised at how effective it can be). Audio input in the card driver is set to 6-channel or 8-channel accordingly when testing, by the way, so that's not it.
 
please excuse my bad english...

i got this download link from cyberlink too along with a very complicated uninstall and install description (regedit...), how did you guys install 3704?

thanks
 
no hdd play

ver. 3704 still does not play from the hard drive, but it seems to play my iso's better. 3516 sometimes would just close when I tried to play an iso.

No choice is incorrect. It can and should downsample to other 5.1 formats such as DD or DTS. Why in the world would you want a lossless soundtrack converted to a lossy one? Backwards compatibility. Some discs only come with a TrueHD or a 5.1 PCM soundtrack and some people (myself included) want to enjoy 5.1 sound without buying a new receiver.

Note all standalone players have this capability.
