I imagine the only people "legally" distributing 2201 would be Cyberlink, and they've apparently moved on to versions with bugs they can't fix... Grrr...

For clarification: by "running me around" I mean I have 11 tickets with Support dating back to last year.

Cyberlink has been running me around for months on this. I have described it and described it and described it to them. They even had me try version 10 -- no luck. At one point, they promoted the problem to a "higher department" (actual developers) who couldn't reproduce it in one try and gave up.

I've done a complete uninstall/reinstall several times. No dice. I even upgraded to 2320. No Dice. Of course, Cyberlink may be "leaving" some artifacts somewhere in the registry or a "hidden" location I cannot determine.
Looking at Windows Media Center, it's definitely related to updating the AACS License Key.
Running AnyDVD Does fix the problem (of course that means eventually buying AnyDVD). Apparently, this is because that product "removes" AACS licensing...
I'd also add that it seems unrelated to which Bluray DVD I'm trying to use. It happens with older ones (like Batman Returns or Planet Earth) as well as new ones like The Hangover. I can view normal DVDs fine.
I did at one point have to kill PowerDVD because it hung at 99% load of a BR DVD. I think my problems may have started happening after that.
It seems like this is the sequence:
1. PowerDVD realizes it needs to update its AACS license. (Either directly through the PowerDVD interface or Windows Media Center)
2. It asks if I want to do that.
3. I say yes.
4. It thinks the update works, but
5. Either the update doesn't work, or PowerDVD doesn't save that the update worked, or the update updated to a previous version that would appear to need updating next time.
6. Goto #1
The part that gets me is on December 19, 2009 it worked fine. It only started getting messed up after I killed the proc when it hung at 99% a few days ago.
Could someone tell me how to remove every last trace of PowerDVD 9 so I can try a complete reinstall? At least then I would know it's something about the AACS update itself.

I have exactly the same problem. Running 2320. Get this: The same BR DVDs that were playing fine a week ago now will not play because of an "update" that doesn't seem to be happening. I wasn't happy to sit down with the sack of Blurays I got for Christmas, only to get this...
