When i bought it (2 days ago), it was working even if it was bugged (video corruption fox blu-ray). Now it won't read any of my 300+ blu-ray.. very disappointing as i got previously PowerDVD 9 Ultra upgraded from version 7 which worked fine. I switched to full version of PDVD 11 to get access on fox new blu-ray Conan & Star Wars..

Yesterday it asked me to download an update called "acer_arcade" from the cyberlink website if i wanted to play blu-ray, so i did it (cancelling upgrade won't start the movie).. it installed something called "powercinema" on my computer. I then relaunched PowerDVD, click on the play icon, the BR disc is launched in the BR drive.. then it stop without any warning on my application..

Not very enjoying

There is only PowerDVD 11 in Windows Media Center program.

Don't know if that can help, i've managed to find a DVD in my Blu-Ray collection, the DVD are working at least. But i didn't bought PowerDVD 11 to play DVD of course.

No new idea ? Maybe waiting next build ? (the one for Fox BR)

I did it.. they want me to contact Acer because your own software forced me to download through the cyberlink update website the "acer_arcade.exe" program.

I haven't an hardware or software from Acer on my computer, even the acer arcade program is not installed after running the update through your website.

So i don't know why acer will help me to make work Cyberlink PowerDVD 11 on reading blu-ray.
I've replied back to the support team, hoping they find a solution before i am being forced to claim a refund :/

Hi,

it is strange - becasue Acer Arcade is only bundled with Acer machines.

some things I can see:
- please update your VGA driver the current onw is not WHQL and is not the latest one.
- please let me know the SR and Version (not CD-KEy) of the original PowerDVD you used?

The original one are on the first post.

I don't know the one from my old powerdvd 9 ultra because i uninstalled it & clean the registry with CCleaner before installing PowerDVD 11.

I didn't want to take the upgrade version, already got trouble with PowerDVD 7 to 9 upgrade so i directly bought the full digital version of PowerDVD 11

PowerDVD SR Number (when click on "CyberLink in left top - SR NUMBER IS NOT THE CD-KEY!!)
SR Number : DVD110628-02

PowerDVD TR Number (if shown)
TR Number : TR110826-012

Downloading latest WHQL Catalyst driver right now.

Even with the latest WHQL Catalyst driver it won't work. Same problem, click on play, it reads the disc for few sec and stop without beginning the play.

Not cool but i am were forced to try it.

I've download "ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre 5" trial version (thanks ArcSoft to allow trial user to read Blu-Ray without any limit except 15 days trial!!).
The blu-ray plays fine on my PC, i've already seen Scarface & Star Wars Episode 1 without any crash or glitches on the movie.

So there is really a big problem with PowerDVD Ultra 11. I am a very kind customer, i leave you 15 days to fix the problem. After that i will use my 30 days right after the purchase date to claim a refund and move to the other SoftWare.

Hope to get nice information & patch very soon.

Happy Customer with a trial BR player
