I have used it for a while with SD DVD's but now are starting to make some Blu-Ray discs so popped a movie in to test.
It immediately wanted to upgrade with a link to this file:
CyberLink.5711_TaRe43_DVD090821-08
I didn't do it because I like to know WHAT I am installing.
So I went to the PowerDVD website and went to the exact link for the patch for my LG drive and it was this file:
LG-ODD.4407_HLDS_DVD080919-02
Two different file names and sizes.....so...hmmmmm...
I sent support an e-mail and THEY suggested I uninstall everything related to PowerDVD, install a new windows install, delete it from the registry, folders, etc....
Sent me a link for what appears to be a new full-blown version of 7.3,
and then 2 patch files for Patch 4617 and Patch 5711.
Why would these files be different than the direct link on their website AND what the player itself wanted to download?
I have read how many people have had problems after downloading the wrong patch and their drive no longer reads both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD (not real critical but I do still have a few lying around.
If anyone could give me some comfort that ONE of these is the right file and method, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
BJB
PS. The funny part is eventually I would probably upgrade to the full version as I want the 7.1 sound eventually but if this is so hard, I can't imagine what that would take to do!
