PowerDVD (previous versions) » Latest PDVD8 Patch » Go to message
Quote: All users beware, when I updated to this version I lost all blu-ray playback. The configuration options for audio were grayed out and not selectable. I managed to reinstall to the previous version and everything was ok so clearly and issue with the patch. Good work Cyberlink!


You are indeed correct. The latest patch actually kills all blu-ray playback! I deleted PowerDVD 8 Ultra and re-installed using the original download file, and did NOT install any "upgrade" patches. Guess what - all blu-ray discs play just fine now.

I will personally not download any new Cyberlink patches until I stop seeing literally hundreds of forum complaints about the problems these "upgrades" are causing.

Quote: This is yet another totally hosed patch from Cyberlink.

I've spent some time analysing what this patch does and guess what, as you might have guessed it removes support for Blu-Ray playback.

I'm convinced nobody at Cyberlink actualy checks patches before they are released. I think this is now the 4th patch that has rendered PDVD8 unusable in the last 12 months.


You're right! I uninstalled PowerDVD 8 Ultra, re-installed the original downloaded program file, and DID NOT download/install the latest patch. Blu-ray discs now play perfectly. Their own update patches are deleting BD playback!

What in the hell is Cyberlink doing?
