Quote If you turn on show information when playing back a blu-ray disk the information will be shown when playing a file back from HDD but can not disable it so you will be stuck with it and will remain on even after closing the program and the only way to disable it is put in a blu-ray disk and then play the blu-ray and then disable the show information.

Thank you very much! It's the same here on a fresh Win10 installation. Are there any news on how how to toggle "show informations" without having to insert a Blu-Ray disc? Has someone already reported this bug to Cyberlink?

This for me has been fixed for a few months now. I got the latest build of powerdvd installed.

Correction I am on 2011. I Just saw the new build released yesterday after this post. I missed that one. Will find out if its broken again or not with 2406.

Just tested 2406 can still select show info and deselect it on a MKV file with right click now without going into a blu-ray to get the info up.

Ok after testing the show information will only be clickable in the right click menu when playing a blu-ray disk.

When playing back a file from HDD wether it be MKV, TS, MT2S, it will not be a option that can be clicked on and grayed out.

I must admit I not checked the options menu directly and need to see if you can turn it on and off when playing a file back on HDD. It's either a bug (most certainly is) or cyberlink felt that the show information changing it when watching from a file on HDD did not need the user to change it at will.

I have the same issue so far with any file playback and not limited to MKV files. Need to test it with blu-ray in a min

Quote: Actually, I got it to work. Yes, the Nvidia card does have some 3D issues. It just seems to be unstable when setting it up. But after a reinstall of NVIDIA drivers (custom clean, or else it just updates) and a few restarts, everything is peachy for me now. I have used Geforce 680m to play and watch 3D games and youtube videos with no problems, but reainstalled windows and had to set up the 3D again,which I forgot...

Well I managed to get it working when setting it to 720p @60hz. 1080p @24hz on the other hand a no go cause PowerDVD keeps changing the refresh rate to 23hz on 3D movies regardless despite being set to 24hz in windows before launching the app.

For 2D it never changes my set refresh rate in windows cause I set it to don't change refresh rate and do not ask me. but its a shame it ingores that completly for 3D films.

Has anyone gotten round that issue. What would be better is the ability to remove the 23hz refresh rate from the list of supported modes.

Not sure if it could be the same issue but I have trouble with PowerDVD getting the 3D blu-ray disks to play in 3D (not iso's).

I have the 3D enabled in the nvidia driver. I got it set to 1080p, I got it set to 24Hz specificaly in windows control panel and looked in the nvidia control panel to be sure.

When I start PowerDVD 15 Ultra complains on mine it thinks is set to 1080p 60Hz and asks for me to change it yet I know PowerDVD is lying or not picking up the correctly set 24hz in windows correctly.

Would be nice to get it working correctly. I'm currently running window 10 preview now but I had the same issue on windows 8.1 with powerdvd 14 ultra and 15 ultra My graphics card is the nvidia geforce 780 ti. Latest nvidia driver.

Quote: Flippy,

One of the websites suggested there was a 64bit program.

With that in mind I sent the following to support and after a few suggestions they are still "looking into it"

I quote..."It would seem, having purchased PowerDVD V14 and downloaded it I have the 32bit version loaded. My computer has an i7 processor running Windows 8.1. How do I load the 64bit version?"

You would have thought they would, assuming you are right (which, on reflection, I think you are), have pointed out the error of my ways!!

What ever website stated powerdvd has a 64 bit app is wrong.

Powerdvd has always been 32bit. No 64 bit app. It has 64bit support but that's about it.

Another 5 movies to add to the won't play list. Its a box set planet of the apes UK box set.

I also noticed the dates the movies were released. I do not know if this has any bearing but planet of the apes and predator 2 were both sold within November 2008.

I'll soon be checking out x-files I want to believe which is also sold within the same date. I am wondering if it is an issue with the BD+ version used on those disks.

I still checking out other disk but disk released before or after that date so far seem to be playing fine it just seems to be something about those disks released in November 2008.

I am having issues with playing some of my older 20th century fox disks. I will start to make a full list soon but would like for cyberlink to get it fixed.

Predator 2 is one such disk I tried today and it is asking me for a player update.

Regards

Peter.
