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 !
