Hello,
I have another problem.
I can hear scratches during playing movie files in Power DVD 19.
Playing the same materials with VLC Media Player I have no problems. This mean there are no scratches.
How can I resolve this problem??
Turn off the audio enhancement features in powerdvd to check if it cures the scratches.

After learning the shocking news that Windows10 no longer allows most video players including VLC to play DVDs anymore (this apparently just happened), I've tried PowerDVD. But it has a built-in "video enhancement" that makes everything look like it was shot on digital video. I hate this.
How can I change the settings so that a movie from the 1950s will look like a movie, and not like some modern-day digital crap?
I can't believe the lousiness of modern life sometimes. Thanks for any help you can offer.
I tried turning off the Video Enhancements in the program, but it makes no difference, The movie has lost that "movie" look and feel.
This is why I don't watch television anymore.
Precisely speaking, your 1950 films, which are produced in DVDs, all are already digitalized and tuned by movie studios. Otherwise, they cannot be placed in a DVD for playback with a computer.
If you have already turned off the video enhancements in powerdvd, the video playback result should be mainly controlled by your GPU and monitor.
Have your ever checked that how the DVDs play in other players or TV player?
The result should be similar or same if nothing got adjusted.

I think that DP version 1.2 is widely used in various new or pretty old DP monitors.
Most of DP1.2 monitors do NOT support HDCP2.2, but a new monitor that has DP1.3 is very likely to support HDCP 2.2 (however, it is still controlled by the monitor manufacturers).
If your current monitor clearly states it supports HDCP 2.2 for 4K DRM, you can check the compatibility by Ultra HD Blu-ray advisor first BEFORE you buy the new and high end one.
HDCP2.2 should be the key factor, which is more important than the connection interface version.

I have no sound through optical connector.
There is a sound in You Tube, VLC Media Player and games.
In Sound Blaster Connect in setup mode during test I can't hear any sound (optical).
Through analog connection there are no problems.
Could you help??
Does your optical (S/PDIF) audio interface supports decoding of Dolby or DTS sound in the connected hardware?
If it doesn't, de-select the Dolby and DTS decoding options in the "Properties" page of the optical audio output interface in Windows sound > playback device settings.
After the setup, check the audio playback in powerdvd.

If you want powerdvd to control the volume when playing your movie disc, de-select the WASAPI output in powerdvd settings -> video audio subtitle -> more audio settings.

Do you really know what aspect ratio is?
It is simple calculation from video's length and width division.
To enlarge a 1920 x 1080 (16:9) Blu-ray video to fit in a 2560 x 1440 (16:9) monitor, the video aspect ratio is 100% identical to your monitor's aspect ratio.
Selecting Keep aspect ratio, or not select keep aspect ratio won't cause any differences in full screen playback.
Why there should be any black bars in playback when the video's aspect ratio is identical to the monitor's aspect ratio?
---
Theorectically, there is NO non-16:9 commercial Blu-ray movies existed in the world because the standard specification of a Blu-ray video is in 1920 x 1080 pixels and 16:9 aspect ratio.
For some of 2.35:1 produced movies, to avoid any video distortion and correctly meet the Blu-ray video specification, the movie manufacturers will put the "2.35:1" video with black bars on top and bottom sides into the standard "16:9" Blu-ray video frame.
So, are the Blu-ray movies you played in powerdvd 2.35:1 produced?
This information will be printed on your Blu-ray movie box back.
If there is no 2.35:1 logo on the box, this movie should be encoded with a normal 16:9 video without putting any additional black bars.
--
VLC and MPC-HC does NOT support commercial Blu-ray movie playback.
If they play a "16:9" video by keeping video aspect ratio on a "16:9" monitor in full screen mode, and the black bars are displayed during the playback, the black bars are program bugs that need developers to fix.
Take out your pen and paper that has already disposed in your campus life, and use a ruler to draw a 16:9 square to emulate how the video will be enlarged to fit in full screen on a 16:9 monior.

2560 / 1440 = 1.77777777777...
1920 / 1080 = 1.77777777777...
They are both 16:9 aspect ratio.
So, it is correct that the video will be fit to full screen without black bars no matter keep or not keep aspect ratio.
(unless your Blu-ray video is recorded in 2.35:1 wide ratio, then remanufactured into 16:9 frame by movie studio).

Per this page: https://www.cyberlink.com/stat/technology/enu/tech_vid.jsp
TrueTheater motion can increase the frames to 72 fps as maxmium.
Theorectically, to avoid flicker, I think the detail should be like this:
For a 30 fps video -> It is up to 60 fps.
For a 24 fps video -> It is up to 72 fps.

Some perspectives for you.
It looks that the motion effect you mentioned is to interpolate frames for the low frame rate video (e.g. below 30 fps) to a higher rate (e.g. 60 fps) for improving the playback smoothness (if there are many motion scenes in the video).
For conventional movie videos that are mostly in 24 or 30 fps, I don't think the effect can be unlimited to increase the frames to 100 fps to be consistent with your LCD.
If you expect that the frame interpolation would give you better video quality or playback smoothness, the excessive interpolation would only produce more fabricated frames, and make things worse if the original video is not produced with high fps natively.
A high refresh rate monitor (> 60 Hz) might be great to use with gaming or 3D playback, but for normal 2D movies, not exactly.
For the action videos that are recorded with 120 fps or above, I think the frame interpolation is trivial.

That's what Hollywood studios want you to watch first.
You cannot skip it unless the DRM of the DVD is cracked.
We don't recommend any DRM cracking here.

I'm not sure how serious the video stuttering you saw when started the playback.
60p BDMV? Is it a AVCHD video or some home made BDs?
Most of commercial released BDs are encoded in 24p or 30p.
Try different BD video authoring software to produce the BDMV content and check the playback.
Perhaps, the stuttering cause is not on player side but contents that are generated from similar sources.

I remembered that there is no perfect or automatic solutions for that.
Try this and check if it does the trick:
1. Copy the PowerDVD19 folder at the following path to other folders that will not be touched by Windows restore:
C:\Users\your name\AppData\Local\CyberLink\PowerDVD19
2. Reinstall powerdvd after Windows restore.
3. Replace the new created folder with the old folder that you backed up previously.
You can test the steps in advance before you actually reinstall Windows.
I recovered my personal settings once using this alternative way, but it is not a formal method and might cause more bugs.
If your powerdvd got screwed, you have to reinstall it and restart everything from scratch.

Have you tried opening the .IFO file directly to start DVD folder playback?
I seldom play movies by dragging folder to open (if it is a disc folder).
You never had problems, so does powerdvd earlier version play DVD folder fine on your notebook?

"Release 418" is the latest version driver NVIDIA supports 3D, not "version 418".
I can play BD3D with my NVIDIA graphics on my PC in pdvd 19.
It is not pdvd, it's your pc.

Try update your NV driver to the latest one that supports 3D:

Your "FREE" Leawo program is an illegal program doing DRM removing.
Evidence: You can play BD via non-HDCP display connection with this cracking program.
Cyberlink is a well known company that offers BD solutions by industrial rules. It is now the major one of few existing authenticated programs in the market.
So, it is absolutely not fair to compare powerdvd with a free cracking or hacking software.
Is it clear?
I'm not sure when AACS-LA (BD protection issuer) will sue this company, but another famous cracking program "AnyDVD" was pulled down by FBI previously. (I know now it survives in other branding because the piracy will keep always there.)
Your headphone cannot be plugged to PC, you can consider an adapter for it.

|
|
If you don't use Focusrite audio mixer as intermediate, but directly connect your headphone to PC.
Will you have sound when playing Blu Ray?
DRM content (Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray) playback is lack of compatibility with professional devices that might provide features for specifc purpose (audio recording or studio use amplifying).
Leawo is DRM cracking program. Don't use it for comparison here.

As I remembered, powerdvd supports auto switching screen refresh rate for playing movie discs, but not for any "video files" playback.
For HDR video playback, the screen refresh rate will increase to 60Hz anyway regardless of the original video frame rate.
What types of video you played?
Does your LCD support 24 Hz refresh rate exactly?
Here is an user community for experience sharing, but not cyberlink contact. If you think powerdvd has issues, you should contact cyberlink support, forum users cannot help you "fix" any issues by updating program codes for you.

Hello,
Can only Intel processors enable ultra-HD blu-ray playback  ?
Are AMD processors excluded from ultra-HD blu-ray playback  ?
Aldo
It seems BD Association only cooperates with Intel for the Ultra HD Blu-ray solution on PC.
Hollywood studio doesn't want you to play the discs on PC as there are many DRM crackings all from PC, they want you to buy a standlone hardware player.
All of them are about money. AMD doesn't participate this so far.

I found your Intel GPU driver is a relatively old version, which released 1 year ago.
As Windows 10 keeps releasing updates to screw up many other programs, I suggest you update your driver to a recent or latest version from either Intel or HP.
Unfortunately, it is highly possible that HP might be lazy to include new Intel driver for its PC users. To solve this, you should contact HP for new driver support.
After driver task is clear, check the playback again.
If it still failed, contact cyberlink support.

Do you turn on the HDR color settings on Windows, or additional color tuning profiles in your GPU control panel?
Turn off them, and check the playback condition in powerdvd.
