I HAVE ALWAYS USED POWER DVD FROM THE FIRST ISSUE AND I DONT THINK IT DOES POWER OFF ONCE THE MOVIE IS OVER EJECT DISK AND CLOSE YOUR SOFTWARE

Thanks but my disks are ripped, my HTPC is in an AV closet in another room.

I need full software control to start and stop powerDVD. This is a full house audio/video solution.

u could always get intouch with cyberlink them selfs

You could always try Macro scripting..... a simple google search will reveal several sources with a variety of solutions.

To kick off these macros via remote you can use IR or other type of systems control via dinky link as the equipment sounds like is minus line of sight.

Simplified you can try to run a scheduled task that kills the PowereDVD.exe application at some scheduled interval, but this is now time based and not really automated shutdown.

It would be nice to have a Cyberlink SDK for system integrators to develop customized control solutions.

Good luck, and hope it works out!

Cheers!

Thanks,

I have been looking for external programs that will shutdown powerDVD.

not having a SDK for powerDVD is a big mistake in my books. Once TheaterTek and/or Zoomplayer are able to play HD movies then I will go back to them.
