4 PDVD13 issues, not loading in Cinema Mode; Close when done argument; Black screen; refresh rat chg

These two questions are regarding PDVD13 when playing Ripped Bluray movies in BDMV format/file type. I don't have an issue when playing from a disc.

1. I am using Media Browser in WMC. PDVD13 is an external player in Media Browser for ripped bluray content. The arguments I use to load PowerDVD13 is
PowerDVD13.exe /LaunchProgram PowerDVDCinema

Unfortunately PDVD is not loading in cinema mode. Why would this be?

2. Is there an argument I can use to close PDVD when I click stop or when the movie is finished playing? Since powerdvd13 does not load within WMC when used as an external player through Media Browser, I have to manually close PDVD to get back to WMC/Media Browser.

3. When PDVD switches refresh rates, for some reason my HDMI 'VIDEO' connection will stop working. My PC is hooked to my HDTV via HDMI. The "video" signal will stop working. I usually have to turn my TV off, turn it back on and then press CTRL, ALT,DEL to bring up the lock screen, log off, and log back on to get the video working again. However, keeping the refresh rate the same will not have this issue.

4. When inserting a bluray disc or even trying to play ripped bluray, PowerDVD notifies me that my refresh rate is not suitable for the content. So I tell PDVD to change the refresh rate to 24p. It does so, if the screen doesn't black out, the movie is very chattery. If I put the refresh rate back to 60hz, the movie plays great. Why would this be?

Resolved Issue (1)
- Apparently you NEED to use PDVDLP.exe when using /LaunchProgram PowerDVDCinema

So now to remedy the next few issues. If there is a way to close power dvd upon stopping or ending of the movie to bouce back to WMC that would be GREAT! Along with fixing the other issues.

Issue 3 is new and I THINK it may have something to do with the most updated drivers for my display. I will try to revert back to older drivers to see if the problem goes away. Dedicated DVD/Blu Ray 3D HTPC
