Is there a fix ?
EDIT: Yes I did run the update to the latest version of PowerDVD 18 Ultra. This did NOT help whatsoever
Step by step work arounds that worked
1Windows Media Player I do not use for DVD playback, {its very buggy for me} so I fired up VLC Media Player, and lo and behold the movie fired right up, no issues no black screen upon hitting blay, nothing. Fired right up to the main DVD menu.
The movies I tested are Back to the Future trilogy, Part 1 fired right up in PowerDVD 18 upon hitting play, no issues, Part 2 had black screen issue when hitting play and would not pass the first 3 seconds whatsoever, fired right up in VLC with no issue whatsoever upon hitting play, Part 3 fired up in PowerDVD upon hitting play.
Other movie tried in PowerDVD 18 had been watched before,m however being stupid I accidently hit restart instead of resume and now the movie wont get past the inital FBI warning screen, {first it stutters badly then hangs and wont go anywhere}
It was at this point I did the update to the software
The issue even with the software update, STILL happens
At this point I tried a different movie {TV series}, fired right up in PowerDVD 18 upon hitting play with no issues.
Now, I know its not my drive, thing is brand new. SDoftware too is brand new. So why is this happening only on some movies but not on others ?
