PDVD14 keeps crashing on most of my Blu-Ray movies... I'm sick and tired of it... what a waste of money.

Purchased DVDs, burned DVDs, ripped the VOB files.
My Blu-Ray RW is first gen, and I never thought about it.
But it may also have something to do with SLI ... I reinstalled the drivers and it started working, but noticed that SLI was turned off... so, I enabled it and it seems to work; I also double checked the SLI profile for powerdvd.exe and made sure it was set to "Single-GPU" (essentially turning SLI off for PowerDVD).
This has been an issues for me since PowerDVD 12 ... clearly I'm a loyal customer. ![]()
Thanks for opening other thoughts in my brain Steve, I really appreciate your response. ![]()

When I try to run PowerDVD 14 to watch DVDs it always crashes. I'm so sick and tired of it. Watching MP4s, MKVs, or other files off my HDD is fine. But not DVDs or VOB files.
Watching Blu-Ray is also fine.
What gives?

I believe, with a 90% certainty that it might actually of been ShadowPlay - a new feature of NVidia GeForce Experience causing conflict, not so much as a conflict I would imagine but an intentional result of copyright protection? I disabled it and so far so good.

Totalmedia crashes as well with HW Acceleration enabled... O.o I'm thinking I should be talking to NVidia.

I looked into VLC, and it doesn't appear to decode Blu-Ray discs. I'll check out that other piece of software shortly.

I haven't tried those other software. But I have no issues with PowerDirector 12, or any of my games.
The HW acceleration is smoother than the software - at least I find it to be. Especially when its deinterlacing a DVD. Playing DVDs with the SW acceleration seems choppy.
I'd like to get my money's worth from PowerDVD 13 because - it toots CUDA HW Acceleration, and its suppose to support Windows 8.1. Plus this issue only started recently. Since upgraded to Windows 8.1... actually. But its the only application I have issues with, everything else runs rock solid.

So, I've been having some problems with PowerDVD 13 and have been trying to sort it out with CyberLink.
When I use hardware acceleration to view videos, DVDs, Blu-Ray movies the application crashes. The problem goes away when I switch to software acceleration - which to me is pointless.
So, now CyberLink says:
In regards to your concern, I would like to inform you that I have escalated your case to our R & D team and they have informed you that we don't have the exact same platform (NVIDIA GTX 680 3-way SLI) and we tried to use similar platform but cannot reproduce this issue.
After investigation from the log file, it crashes at nvd3dum.dll NV's module. The NV driver or 3-way SLI might cause compatibility problem. We still suggest you to try using single VGA card or software decoding when playback PowerDVD.
Of course, the thing is, the default NVCPL profile already sets powerdvd.exe to "Single-GPU".
But before I give up on software I paid for and software that is endorsed by NVidia I was hoping someone else out there may have had this issue before and fixed it.
Here is all the information I sent to CyberLink including screenshots: http://sdrv.ms/19vfsfs
Thanks for any input.

I'll have to keep an eye on this. I haven't used my PD12 in a while but noticed that it had not been performing very well. I am an avid gamer, and running the latest drivers is the difference of winning and loosing - or just being relaxed as I play my favorite shooter.
Specs:
Intel i7 980x @ 4.3Ghz (OC)
24GB of RAM
240GB SSD
120GB SSD
1.8TB RAID0 (1TB Caviar Black x2)
3x GTX680 (SLI)
Windows 8.1 Pro x64
NVidia Drivers: 331.82
I'll go over and read up on the BETA.

I have a question about CUDA. I notice that PD12 is using my CPU instead of my GPUs to do most of the work. Is there something I'm missing in the configuration?
