Do you apply any audio enhancement or effect in powerdvd's audio settings?
Try disable them first to check the playback.

THe title appears in and DVD18 will begin to load the Blueray content, then at 100% it will refresh the program and nothing were back to square one.
Also it has a popup showing an unsigned driver in the screenshot.

Have you ever updated your Windows 7 after the Windows was installed or reinstalled on your PC?
Update it to the very latest version by installing all the compatiblity updates via Windows Update checking.
Then, reinstall PowerDVD 18 again.

Yep. Still broke. Has anyone had a 3D BluRay play correctly using Windows 10 and latest PowerDVD 18? Or is this feature broke but PowerDVD still advertising it as a feature.
Do you have other PCs that does not need to apply a USB-C-to-HDMI adapter to connect 3D display?
Play 3D BluRays on the PCs to check it.
I guess that the USB-C conversion is the key.

The Windows 7 Aero theme has ceased and integrated into new version Windows.
For Windows 10, the Windows style is transparent by default, which has the same transparent viewing effect from earlier Aero glass.
I don't think the Aero theme/mode turnning off option will appear for your powerdvd on Windows 10.
For the nvidia panel's 8 bpc or 12 bpc settings, apparently your projector does not support 12 bit. So, this setting won't help your projector to output 12 bit video or better video.
Honestly, those settings are unlikely to largely improve the viewing quality on your screen as there are not much video contents that are encoded in 10 bit or require to use "Full" dynamic range color to display.
The Windows desktop items can be displayed in 8 bit color depth perfectly without color loss.
What is BTB or WTW?
If you don't know it, I suggest you just leave it (or google it). It is far away from software player's playback.

I didn't say "playback in full screen" is "identical" to exclusive mode.
Perhaps you need exclusive mode for your own specific purpose (e.g. color space BTB/WTW 0-255 displaying?).
For the color space, that's mostly by gpu implementation and processing on different version OS.
powerdvd does not have the options to enter exclusive mode specifically, only full screen or not full screen.

If you are not talking about audio exclusive mode, for video, the exclusive mode is very close to "playback in full screen".
Just enter full screen when playing video, then it is exclusive mode.

Hi alll, good to see I'm not the only one with this problem. I have installed the latest ME driver but didn't take away the SGX error. It's when I install the latest intel display driver that the intel display settings screen won't come up. Also, eventhough these two things are annoying, my 4k blurays play fine but I thought the new 18 version was supposed to spread out the display to full screen . So far, the 4k Apollo 13 won't stretch, it just stays them same aspect ratio no matter what I change it to.
If you play a 16:9 4K BD, and play it on a 16:9 monitor, then no further stretch will work because the aspect ratio of your video and monitor are identical. (no base to crop it further unless you don't care about video stretch distortion.)
Some movies are produced from 2.35:1 aspect ratio shooting, but the videos are actually placed in 4K BD 16:9 specification/resolution.
If you play this kind of movie on a 16:9 monitor, you will get black bars on top and bottom side because they are "part" of the movie video to fit "16:9" 4k BD specification.
The best fit display device to play those 2.35:1 movie discs is 21:9 ultra wide monitor. (powerdvd 18 will help you crop the black bars to let 16:9 4K BD playback fill the 21:9 monitor.)

I've never heard PowerDVD installation would touch Boot Manager settings.
You said you have purchaed PowerDVD ages ago. Did it happen before?
If you already "Recreated" boot manager then boot function is still not OK. There might be other causes that lead to the booting problem. Check your PC HDD or Windows with your IT service first.
By the way, the patches that locates on cyberlink website is not supported to update Steam version.

Have you ever launched Windows Update additionally after enabling SGX on the BIOS?
There are new automatic or suggested updates exclusively for Intel SGX feature issue fixing.
Intel ME driver and firmware should be updated to the very latest version as well. It's an essential component to perform SGX.

Whether it will output non-decoded HD audio to your HDMI receiver depends on how Windwos audio settings identifies your audio device's decoding compatibility even it is unlikely that your HDMI receiver does not support HD audio decoding.
While you are playing HD audio, did the supproted format of the HDMI audio device show properly that it has Dolby or DTS decoding compatibility at the exact moment?
Check your HDMI receiver's properties -> Supported format in Windows audio setting.

UHD-BD -> NO
4k video file -> Yes for some models, and it depends on codec compatibility.

Serious juddering?
It does not happen on my PC even playing a 4K 24 fps video.
(My PC monitor applies 60 Hz screen refresh rate.)
powerdvd does not have the auto refresh rate changing featue for video file playback, but only for movie discs (e.g. Blu-ray, DVD).
Yes, at technical wise, the perfect match is "Play a 24fps video using 24 Hz screen refresh rate".
But, if any of your player program plays the videos with "SERIOUS" juddering because of the monitor applies the standard 60Hz screen refresh rate.
There are probably something wrong on your GPU driver and Windows.

Whether the disc drive can decode/play the DRM protected video correctly might still depend on its function status on Windows no matter it can read the title of a disc (because disc title reading is one of the simplest function).
Did you try any other DVD drives?
I think it is not difficult to find a DVD drive to test DVD playback function first.

How about try the following trick?
1. Go to PC mode, tick TrueTheater video, and then switch to Advanced Enhancment tab.
2. Un-tick the TrueTheater HDR feature specifically first, and then un-tick the TrueTheater video enhancment completely.
3. Go to TV mode, play BD and adjust the TrueTheater video enhancment to 0% (= disable it).

It is just the web cam that is on the laptop.
I don't think it is an enhancement feature from youcam but depending on your webcam adjustment availability (hardware).
And, youcam let you set it in the program for convenience.
EV is not equal to brightness.
Does the webcam offer you the option to adjust EV on hardware side?

Per my understanding, a 2D playback won't change screen resolution, but only adjust display refresh rate when playing a full hd BD disc. (not video file)
4k is not equal to HDR.
If your screen resolution (on Windows) is 4K, then the playback will be in 4K resolution (Scale the 1080P video on a 4K screen).
Did you turn the HDR color on Windows? Let it be off if you don't want to watch videos that affected by HDR.
Here is a FAQ that offers the steps to turn off HDR on Windows (OS).

If you have confirmed your hardware is OK to enable Intel SGX, the Intel Managment Engine driver must be installed using full version installer (SetupME.exe), but not the basic Intel MEI installer (The MEI installer size is relatviely small, and less than 20 MB).
If it still failed, check the FAQ cyberlink provided:

Are you playing a DVD or BD?
This feature is added for BD playback in new version powerdvd 18.
|
|
|
I don't have BD titles that contain Finnish subtitle.
But, for my title which has English and French subtitles, powerdvd does automatically play French subtitle if I set it as preferred subtitle language.
Would you mind to share some title links here for reference?
