Hey Christian glad I was able to help

I had my screensaver completely disabled though and i still have the issue with these two movies. If i skip past those scenes that freezes up powerdvd, the movies will continue to play fine which lets me know it cannot be the movies just those particular scenes in the movie that powerdvd is having an issue with. Its really annoying however, i deal with it......for now. Anyway I was experiencing your issue about the sametime after I created this post. All of a sudden my HD-Dvd wouldn' t play and I got that message about unsupported format etc.... So I emailed Cyberlink because before I could play HD-dvd movies and the one movie that was generating the error "American Gangster" I watched one time before so I knew immediately that the problem wasn't with my LG drive that it was something with powerdvd because I could still play blu-rays. So Cyberlink tech support responded and wasn't helpful they told me that something was wrong with my LG GGC-H20L drive or either the disc wasn't an HD dvd disc. I'm not technically challenged by no means or unable to determine the format of disc i'm trying to play. So after doing some research i found out that a program thats associated with Nero called "InCd" was causing this software issue. Once I uninstalled nero along with "InCd" voila! my HD dvd's were playing flawlessly again. I think because InCd wants to make any disc in your drive formattable or something that it was screwing with the dualitiy of the drive. Just uninstall it and you should be good.

I have the LG Blu-ray & HD DVD combo drive and it came with the Cyberlink Bundle software that includes Powerdvd. I did my updates so my powerdvd version is 7.3. However during some of my blu-ray movies it completely freezes and I have to end task to close Powerdvd, however when I look under process its still running powerdvd and I cannot make it end the process. If i try to start Powerdvd again it will not start and only lock my machine down, I have to do a cold shutdown because powerdvd cause it to hang when trying to shutdown normally. Powerdvd does this to me on two of my movies, "King of New York" it freezes at the same scene everytime and "Batman: Gotham Knight" it freezes a few minutes into the third chapter everytime. This is really annoying that i cannot enjoy my movies on this wonderful combo drive. Anyone experiencing these things also my specs are below.
