Quote: I did an interesting test. I downloaded a trial version of Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre 5 which is an alternative to PowerDVD. This trial version played all my blu-ray movies superbly unlike the trial version of PowerDVD 11 which refused to play anything. And guess what? It played my Batman blu-ray WITHOUT A SINGLE SKIP/HICCUP/FREEZE. After this test I launched PowerDVD 10 again to watch Batman and all these random skips/hiccups/freezes were immediately back.

So it was not about my computer but PowerDVD. I guess my next blu-ray player will be Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre.

I got really frustrated last night as well and decided to try out Arcsoft. Guess what? It worked beautifully and has a much nicer interface/features than PowerDVD. I suggest everyone check it out. Additionally, the actual developers are much more in tune with the community, not some PR bullshit like Cyberlink.

Arcsoft Total Media theatre is much better than Cyberlink's piece of crab attempt. I was having trouble with this boxset and another bluray. They wouldn't even play in older versions of PowerDVD and had tons of stuttering/sound issues with 11. I downloaded the trial version of Arcsoft's player and guess what? It worked perfectly. Check it out for yourself.

The interface and features are also much nicer than Cyberlink's.

Quote: Hello,

I suggest to upgrade to PowerDVD 11

Do you know how unlawful that statement is? You cannot systematically make software obsolete while forcing people to upgrade to a newer version. You must either support the software you advertise to work, or issue refunds to your customers. For all those involved I suggest you take a trip to the better business bureau and file a complaint against cyberlink.

I think we need to start getting the better business bureau involved considering Cyberlink knows there is a problem with their software, but refuses to fix it. Making one version of their software obsolete and malfunctioning thus forcing their customers to upgrade is just asking for a lawsuit. I suggest we all start filling out the following form:
