Hi All

As soon as I use play dvd funtion to play Blu-ray disk the screen (only where the movie is playing-not the whole WMC) flickers and goes about 5% smaller. Sound is fine. No stuttering (after 2nd reinstall) I'm also using Windows Basic 7 theme. No Aero.

I have PowerDVD 10 ultra for my HTPC. After using cyberlink powerdvd 10 cleaning tool and the third Powerdvd install. I was able to get everything to work intergrated with WMC7. Except for playing Blu-ray full screen. DVD's play fine. Haven't checked 24p yet?

I would suggest you check out this post and read through as the fix is hidden in there.
Basically when Media was configured it may have been set for a TV with overscan and that information needs removed and switched to an LCD than can go edge to edge.

Good luck

Thank You, That worked perfectly. I changed the setting to LCD panel and the screen is now full. I remember when it shrunk during the install WMC asks if you want them to adjust your display settings. SAY NO! After I said yes you can watch the screen shrink 5%. Hauppauge also has a WMC reset tool that works on their website. Saves a rebuild.

unfortunately, I can't spend anymore time with this Blu-ray PowerDVD.


I can't even get it to start for more then a second before freezing? Can't end task of Powerdvd. Requires restart every time? I really wanted this to work but, not paying $30 for phone support when I already payed for the software? 10 ULTRA Mark II. Can't find anything on the internet? Nobody is having problems except me?

If I install 10 without any patches I can start to watch the movie. CPU in one of the 4 cores is 100% 20% average???? Tried INtel hardware acceleration? I'm at a lose for words. Should just get a Tivo for OTA and a separate Blu-ray!

It seems everyone is using x64 these days. Should I build the Win7 x86 since I only use 4gb?

The Blu-ray advisor advanced says that my drivers need upgrading?

Yes. I did use the cleaner tool and it works very well. I didn't use it the first time but have used it on all the last few times reinstalling.

Is there a way to install just the latest version patched? Can I make an install point and patch that and then use the install point to reinstall on my HTPC?

The process I'm using now is.

10 Standard install
Patch
10 Ultra upgrade disk
Patch

Most of the time I check it each time to see how it's going. The very last patch either breaks it all so nothing works or it works very smoothly and intergates very well then freezes. At this point it will never play again??? Resart just to remove Powerdvd10cinima*32 from the task manager.

...Except now I get a full screen GREEN screen "pop" between previews and different BD functions, extras? Sometimes the pop stays longer.
