Hi,
I've been using AnyDVD HD for quite some time and on quite a few discs. However there are some discs that constantly produce a symptom that worries me.
I don't have a standalone blu-ray player (yet), so I use my PC for playback, specifically with 2 versions of PowerDVD (PDVD7 3317a and PDVD9 latest).
Let's take, for instance, "The Dark Knight" and "Slumdog Millionaire". I used the latest AnyDVD HD to create an unprotected ISO (removing BD-Live and region protection).
Now, mounting Slumdog Millionaire with VCD and playing with PDVD-3317a, it recognizes the disc, starts playing, but all I see is a black screen and the player indicating that playback is in progress (seconds counting). Switch to PDVD9 and when I try loading the disc I get the message:
It doesn't matter if I click YES or NO, the player hangs on a black screen. HOWEVER - and this is the interesting part, if I check the PDVD9 setting box that says "allow connection when certification is invalid", the disc plays perfectly (without even showing the error message).
Now, that's all nice and great. But question is - is this okay? I mean, is this a software issue? what happens when I burn this to a BD-R in the future and try to play on a standalone player? What exactly is wrong here?
I would love to get insights
Thanks in advance,

P.S.
same thing happens for "the dark knight", except for that title it shows the WB logo and interactive loading animation before switching to a black screen. again, setting the checkbox in PDVD9 makes it play.
