Stupid Blu-Ray.

[Hondajt]

I just got a Lite-on Blu-Ray player for Christmas. Installed it in my Corei7 Windows x64 Ultimate computer, and it won't play Blu-Ray. It makes me install a third-party program.

I HATE PowerDVD. Yuck. I feel violated just thinking about installing it.

Any other solutions? My software is essentially stock. I have installed the latest drivers & firmware for the drive and my video card.

Yuck. I wish Media Center had an update that could play these

So what exactly happens when you put a Blu-Ray into the drive? Have you tried VLC: VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

All of the necessary system devices must support BluRay/HD AV files and have the proper drivers installed. This includes your Audio, Video, chipset, monitor, etc...even your choice of cables can affect this.

What does the HDCP panel show in the nVidia Control Panel?

+1 Monster Cables is a must.(Atleast if you're planning on plugging a laptop/desktop to a large tv.)

That is one of the most incorrect statements I have seen online in a long time. Once does not need a Monster Cable. One need a proper cable. Check out the specs and buy from Newegg.

What the heck is up with this guy?

My parts:
Intel Core i7 920 CPU (Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops)

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
Seageate Barracuda Hard Drive (Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive)

I have a S/PDIF Cable going from the Onboard audio to the HDMI cable. It works. The DVI port has unused pins that carry the sound. Unusual, but trust me, not the problem. I have sound coming from the HDMI cable (not that I use it, I use the optical from the board)
Sony STR-DH700 With BluRay Audio Support via LPCM. (Newegg.com - SONY 7.1-Channel Home Theater A/V Receiver STR-DH700)

I think it's just because Microsoft backed HD-DVD, and is hating Blu-Ray.

Well, I went ahead and bought PowerDVD 9 Ultra. I like it so far. I still would much rather have Windows handle the Video, but this program isn't bad. It's kind of slow loading, and I had don't think it would work properly installed under the 64 bit program files, so I did x86.

Windows does not currently have any licensing rights to play encrypted Blu-ray media. So a third-party decoder is a must. Me...I just use AnyDVD HD and strip away all copy protection.... >.>

 

[Kipper]

Since you already purchased Cyberlink's powerDVD that should work fine, I was going to recommend you give Arcsoft's TotalMediaTheater 3 a try. WindDVD is another good BD software player.

 

[Hondajt]

I'm game for trying others. I heard TMT had issues with certain BD audio format's. Not sure how/what, but that's the "vibe" I got from other forums. Plus, either it or WinDVD didn't do BDLive.

 

[AngelProcesser]

Sony does BluRay as does Windows 7:

Your BluRay Player should ship with the required software to play Bluray.

 

[Kipper]

I have not experienced any problems with TMT or with PowerDVD nor WinDVD10 Pro for that matter.

Thats kinda illegal am i right :sarc:

 

[AngelProcesser]

A licensed codec is not illegal if done so in your country - it can get complicated due to current law..in the USA, downloading illegal softare from other countries is at best frowned upon and can lead to both civil and criminal penalties...the reverse is more likely to occur, ie, third world countries stealing our technology.

So you dont think they deserve it?

 

[raj11650]

I don't make law but am familar with it.

What i meant was, dont you think that the 3rd world countries desrve "our" technology, and that they have to "steal" it cause its "ours"

 

[AngelProcesser]

Developing these technologies costs a lot of money. I have no problem at all paying for software, movies, music, hardware. I do have a problem with people taking technology, pretending it's theirs, sharing it, and causing me to pay more as a result.
