Right now, I can play MKV files with PDVD 10 on my system with Roxio 2011 installed, yes.
Update 2429 fixes the issue. Good job.
Interestingly I have Nero 10 installed and Roxio 2011. Is there a compatibility issue ?

J.
As previously stated I don't have any 3rd party codecs installed on my system by my own. As for the MKV, I posted the details previously so I guess you can have an idea, right ?

But then again it's not a matter of a special MKV compatibility issue : another PC with PDVD 10 Ultra play those files fine. But on that specific setup it fails to open them. Why ?

Thanks,

Julien
Yup. Still the same problem. No workaround so far.
Not sure why we have to go through Customer support ? Can't you help on this board ? Isn't it the purpose of the forum ?
In my case I have version 2113.51 installed, just reapplied the latest update, and guess what ? MKV playback is still broken. Can you help ? I mean for real ?

And... I don't use any codec pack.
There you go for the requested informations :

Well it's not a matter of file types. As I mentionned : the MKV files I'm attempting to play on my main PC play fine on my other Media Center PC that is equipped too with PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mark II.

I assume that if one PC manages to do the playback of that files, the other should too ? And of course hardware wise my main PC is able to handle MKV files (Core i7, GeForce 580, etc).

There you go anyway for the mediainfo report :

Hello,

I'm running Windows 7 x64 on an Intel platform with PowerDVD 10 Mark II Ultra. Problem is that everytime I attempt to play a MKV file, the software displays an error message after a while : "Cyberlink PowerDVD don't authorize playback of this format" (error message is in french so translation is more or less approximative.

But I do have Version Mark II Ultra ! In the past MKV playback used to work on this PC. I tried reinstalling PDVD and it didn't work. Of course the MKV files I'm attempting to play work fine on other PC.

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

Julien
