Hi all...

So I've found that when playing a Blu-Ray with PowerDVD 10 Ultra Mk II (latest patch applied - after having to uninstall everything, apply the "cleaners" and remove everything from the registry and filesystem by hand... very bad "Cleaner" programs ya got there)...

... in any case, when playing a Blu-Ray, I have the mouse scroll action set to "time seek".

If I use it, at least in the newer Blu-Rays, it brings up a chapter On Screen Display and where I am in that chapter for reference, but then it doesn't go away. It stays onscreen. I have to stop the move, and restart, and get back to my last position, in order to make the chapter Onscreen Display go away.

Is this a known bug? Anyone else having this problem?

Hi,

this is not really a bug - but limitation of some BD discs.
Some BD do not allow "old fashioned" time seek but use theri own bar and chapter preview.

normally you can remove this by pressing the "Pop-up menu" button or maybe press "play" again

please let me know which title has this behaviour

If this is the same bar that i see on some of my blu rays then here is what i have discovered.

Press the UP arrow on the Media Center Remote if the blu ray has its own time seek bar it will appear.
Press the DOWN arrow on the Media Center Remote and the bar will go away.

Are you using Classic or Cinema mode? Because i believe this behavior was when i was in cinema mode, but i would think it would be the same in classic since the blu ray was doing this and not powerdvd.

Well, I'm not using a remote, just a bluetooth keyboard.

When I use the PowerDVD control bar to bring up the popup menu, then make it go away, then press the down-arrow on the keyboard, the time-seek popup disappears.

However, after that, PowerDVD no longer pays attention to the mouse scroll function until I stop/restart the movie from the title menu.

Actually, I just noticed that once the BD's own time seek popup comes up, PowerDVD also stops responding to the mouse scroll, whether I've made the popup go away or not. So it seems that PowerDVD's interaction with some titles' own time-seek popups is slightly broken.

I have seen this with several titles, but most recently with The Incredibles BD.

Also, with this BD I'm noticing breaks in the sound and video between chapters - very short, but definitely there (sound stops, screen is black). It seems like it might be a buffering issue, because if I go back and replay from right before the chapter break, it plays smoothly.
