Windows XP64, 5.4.0.6 and 5.4.0.8 - PDVD says "No disc in drive"

[Greenback]

Hello,

I' trying to switch from daemon tools to VCD to mount BluRay-Images.
I rip with AnyDVD HD, latest version.

When I install VCD 5.4.0.6 or 5.4.0.8 on my machine (Windows XP x64 edition SP2) it appears to work, a drive letter shows up after a reboot, wenn i mount an .iso image with it, AnyDVD properly recognizes it as a BluRay disc.

PDVD (version 8 ) however claims the drive to be empty. And windows refuses to read from the drive if you just click on the drive letter within the explorer.

I found a few threads from people having the same issues, however they drifted away and brought up no real solution (besides checking the ISOs).

Any ideas?

Of course. XP64 doesn't ship with an UDF2.5 filesystem.

That's what I figured, but within PowerDVD it should still work, shouldn't it? Since it did work before with DT.

This issue came up with VCD.

Could it be that VCD isn't acknowledging to the OS that an iso is mounted, meaning VCD knows there's data there but the drive looks empty to the OS so autoplay doesn't happen. I don't know how perfectly VCD emulates a real drive but if you don't have a UDF 2.5 driver installed, windows should still say something like this disc is corrupted or something like that.
