newb to blu ray disc and cannot say i am totally blown away by it.

if anyone knows of a bd player that will play a bd movie by just inserting the disc into the player and selecting play from a media center remote { and no prompts } please share that application.

Power DVD 8 does a good job at playing bd once you get through all the prompts of the 'upgrade' option, the nagging reminder 'of registering' the product, the 'play - resume' box and the reminder that you are 'not' configured for 5.1 doby digital.

until recently i wasnt able to watch any bd content, i now have built a media center box for watching HD DVD and HD BD movies that i purchase at retail outlets, to say its frustrating to keep getting off the couch and using a keyboard and mouse to get a movie started is putting it litely, if content providers and software providers expect to excell in H-Deff content then they will need to get thier act's together, as of right now its not.

why anyone would upgrade to PDVD 9 with all the prompts and lack of user configuration is beyond me, i wont !

Cyberlink point out that BluRay DVDs will require version of PowerDVD 9 Ultra for a perfect movie reproduction, and also refer to the high computer specification.
I certainly find PowerDVD software not to be as their advertising scroll.
I note that sound 5.1 surround will not work (speech) is lost unless PowerDVD four speakers is selected. I always believed that 5.1 was six speakers in number ie 5 peakers plus one woofer speaker. Suggestions will be most appreciated.

What causes the playback to be jerky and freeze, sound is also coarse and breaking up. Anyone suggest, how to fix these errors? Suggestions will be most appreciated.
