DVD playback over HDMI...
Hi everyone,
I have an irritating problem that I just can't figure out.
When I try to play a DVD movie on my new HTPC I just get a big black screen which no amount of alt-tabbing or control-alt-deleting can exit.
This happens with with Windows Media Player and Cyberlink too. Everything works fine until I put a DVD movie in and press play. It looks like it's going to go full screen but just goes to a full black screen and becomes unresponsive.
THIS ONLY HAPPENS OVER HDMI, VGA plays the video fine (it's windowed, so it's not trying to go full screen to a multiple screen).
HDTV and any videos on the hard drive play fine over HDMI and HDCP status is fine - though I haven't tried a Blu-ray yet.
I've tried different drivers.
I have built many of these systems with the same specs so I'm going a bit nuts with this.
42" FullHD LCD HDMI 1.3
Zotac itx 9300-G-E (integrated Nvidia 9300)
E6300 2.8ghz
3GB DDR800
1000GB HDD
Sony 5600 slim slot-load Blu-ray - (I have tried different drives too).
Any help appreciated, thanks in advance!
*UPDATE: Same thing happens with Blu-rays, just get a big black screen when I play. The blu-ray also worked perfectly over VGA. When I was attempting to play a DVD over HDMI I plugged the VGA cable in too which actually got me as far as the DVD menu (while still on HDMI).*
UPDATE 2: VLC Plays the dvds fine over HDMI. This is just a problem with WMP/MC and Cyberlink PowerDVD...
Any ideas?
