I believe it is just the other way around - BD requires AACS on BD-ROM media, hence a BD-ROM without AACS will not play.ROM mark (like HDCP) is only checked if the disc has AACS which anydvd removes.
... it fools the playback software (PowerDVD) so it believes a BD-Recordable is inserted and not a BD-ROM disc.
Just checked the source code - it changes BD-ROM to BD-R... ????In fact, AnyDVD HD makes BD-ROM disc to look like DVD to fool PowerDVD (I checked this with IsoBuster). It would be nice it it actually makes it look like BD-R or BD-RE, so that other players (e.g. WinDVD) could possibly play it as well.

Are you sure ISOBuster displays the disc type reported by the drive correctly (never used this feature)?
I believe it is wrong.I don't know correctly or not, but it says "DVD":
Interesting. Well, of course something "is wrong", there are many ways to check the medium type. AnyDVD certainly doesn't cover all possible ways. It doesn't make sense to "proactively" create thousands of lines of code which are never used, so I just satisfied PowerDVD's checks. As soon as Corel decides to sell me a copy of WinDVD, I'll do the same for WinDVD.But still I suspect that something might be wrong, as when BD-RE is inserted, ISOBuster says "BD-RE" when AnyDVD is disabled, and "DVD-RW" when it is enabled... And WinDVD BD for VAIO plays it in any case.
James, I have the .exe for WinDVD HD/BD on my computer. To buy this, you have to navigate through the Corel store but you can find a link to buy it. If you would like I can upload it so you can start to reverse engineer WinDVD HD/BD so anydvd hd can fill the requests. Please PM me! Also when do you think that we will have full BD+ support
James, I think you might just be blind. It's hidden, I don't know why but anyway here is a link: Click this Hope this helps! Thanks!
It worked on my Sony Vaio laptop(VGN-FZ180E) which has a nvidia 8400M(laptop card) video card.
Pretty well hidden, looks like they don't want to sell it...
