I keep forgetting but the other thing I found was that the picture is more washed out in PDVD13 and the blacks have a small glow to them. I’m not sure if it’s a setting I change at some point in PDVD12 that I need to change in PDVD13. It’s hard to see in the pic but you should be able to make out a band above where the film image stops and where the true black under the PowerDVD logo is. In PDVD12 the whole area above the film image is true black.

Thanks. Maybe it don't work in the demo version. ???
No problem! Always glad to try to help. It might be that the demo version doesn't support this, but I don't know for sure.
If you decide to purchase the full version I hope you enjoy it! It works great!

Thanks, I had heard (oddly) good things about 13. It starts faster and it’s easier to get rid of popups but it’s been crashing a bit on me. When I play the same title in PDVD12 it seems to be ok.
I would hope that it would not matter if you had the trial version or not. Within reason, what is the point of demoing it if it doesn’t work the same? The other guy said he did not get the Show Information option with a commercial DVD. So I don’t know what is going on. I always see the option but in PDVD 13 it’s ghosted out.

Didn't you think that was important? Why didn't you mention it in your first post. It would have saved some time. An learning experience to provide much more information in your questions to help all of us !
Feel free to comeback and get more help.
Umm... "PowerDVD Trial Verison: 13.0.2720.57 " From the third post.

Then you asked about it again but I thought you were still wanting to see it.
No, Blu-ray and DVD do the same thing in PDVD12 and 13 on the same PC. It’s more interesting that you don’t see the option when you play a DVD. I’ve always seen the option but I only play discs.

Yea but what fun would that be? It is in the help file:
Show Information
When you enable Show Information, the OSD (on screen display) displays the variable video bitrate, audio types such as Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital 2.0 or DTS 5.1, and their audio bit rates. It also displays the playback time elapsed and remaining, plus the chapter and title information.
Settings
Select to access the settings window. See PowerDVD Settings - Player Settings for more information.
You post a screen cap of the right click settings popup first, then I will.  You can't. Not with a Blu-Ray playing.
It's a Blu-ray. Never tried "Show Information" with a DVD, that I recall...
Ok, just tried it with an old DVD I have and same thing. Works fine in PDVD12 but not PDVD13. The option is there in both, don't know why you don't see it. But you can do a screen cap with a DVD playing. Did not know that, thought it was always blocked while PDVD was running.
Why do you want the screen cap? Attached, DVD only though. The cap is of PDVD12, PDVD13 looks the same but you can't select "Show Information".

Steve, I gave a simple answer. Don’t read so much into nothing. I don’t know what “View Information” shows you or where to even find it. You did not say or post a picture. Are you giving me grief?
I don’t know for sure that it only shows during playback, I miss spoke. That is the only place I can find it.
I don’t know if you are saying that it works for you. As you say “playing a file” and “a YouTube video”. Whatever you do in PDVD I guess you are just playing some kind of file but maybe when you play a disc it’s different? I only use PDVD for movies.
The “View Information” sounds like tag info on the file. I think the “Show Information” shows you in real time the PDVD audio/video output regardless of the file info.

What?
In PDVD12 you roll the mouse wheel forward/up to skip forward in the movie and roll it backwards/down to skip backwards in the movie. In PDVD12 you can also set the amount of time to skip.
In PDVD13 it’s wrong and don’t why they would change it. You roll the mouse wheel forward/up to skip backward. It’s just silly and you only have a few durations to choose from when in PDVD12 you could enter what you liked.

Yea, I don't know what other "Show Information" there would be. If you found something called "View Information" then that would not be the same thing as "Show Information".
It's only there during playback when you right click it's towards the bottom of the popup.
Not playing a File or Folder.
Same function works with PDVD12 on the same PC with the same (all) movies. ???

Seems counterintuitive that you roll the wheel back or down to skip forward and up and forward to skip backward. ???

Show information is not selectable in PowerDVD13, works fine in 12 on the same system. ???

Peterpondus had the answer a few posts back. Not sure why you are getting the error without having disabled anything. Firewall maybe? If you do as he suggests it should work. Worked for me anyway. After PDVD is running you can see the EXE files it starts. Right click and open file location and rename two of the EXE files. You should end up here: “C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD12”
For me it was “PowerDVD12Agent.exe” and “PowerDVD12ML.exe” witch I renamed to “PowerDVD12Agent.exeStopMediaServerError” and “PowerDVD12ML.exeStopMediaServerError”
No more popup.
Never mind, while it gets rid of the popup I can no longer play a movie.  The select movie source in the lower left is blank.

Just too few squeaky wheels or folks that use two displays and PowerDVD9 and up. I just keep posting after updates come out hoping they’ll tell one of the guys that works on patches and he will take a few minutes and fix it. I can’t imagine that routine that checks the screen resolution before allowing PowereDVD to run is that complicated. Just remove it or tell it that 9:16 and 10:16 ratio screens are valid. Like every other Windows application that I use.

PowerDVD 9 Build 2320: Works as it should with any screen configuration I've tried as do all previous version of PowerDVD I have used over the past 4 years or so. 7,8,9...
PowerDVD 9 Build 2528 and now PowerDVD 10: Gives the error if one of the two displays in portrait mode.
This is a totally valid Windows configuration. CyberLink should have no issue with this.
Still not working in the latest update. (PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D build 2325) Kind of sad, I even told them the exact build that added the bug. I guess I should be glad that they are no longer asking me to reinstall or to run Windows at 1024x768 or that there is no bug. I still use PowerDVD7 as 10 removed 9 and 10 still does not support Windows.
