* Official * Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 Ultra thread - Page 6

It all depends on which type of 3D display you have. Most 3D TVs require active shutter glasses. I believe the iZ3D and Zalman monitors use the passive polarized glasses that you tried.

Well no PM and no further FU. I guess since the engineeres couldn't replicate the problem it must not exist. And of course no body contacts me to get more info. Oh well, this is how you lose customers.

Not true.

You are right. Looks like I was still in the PDVD8 era in this point.

BTW does the decoder really work for VC-1? VC-1 tweak is necessary to make CyberLink VC-1 decoder in PDVD7.3/8 work with Haali/Gebest splitter...

Thanks - I have the filters working in an external directshow player (mpc-hc to be precise), but I can't get dxva working with any of them. I've tried using both a 5450 and 9400m. Did you have any luck?

How about the video disappearing when FF or RR using that Intel Clarkdale board I mention before? I haven't heard anyone say they've tried PWDVD 10 with it, so I assume its a bug. 9 works fine so I assume its a Cyberlink problem. But I cannnot really use it with FF going black on me.

Was there even a public beta of this software? It probably would have helped iron out these massive bugs before you RTM'd it.

Curious to try PowerDVD 10, I installed the trial version but the application wouldn't start with an error message

"Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is not optimized for this screen resolution and will now close"

I run Windows 7 64 bit and I have Arcsoft TMT 3 installed.

No Enable Quick Review In Pause

Could you explain to a noob what program that is and how you get the filters working in another player such as MPC-HC. Thanks

A video decoder for H.264/VC-1/MPEG-2 (a "VC-1 loader" is necessary to use it for VC-1; see below). Add it to External Filters and set it to Prefer.

In case you are not sure hardware acceleration is working, make sure that "DXVA" is selected in "Properties" (to open it, double click "CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10)" in External Filters):

Using CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10) for VC-1

The reason why CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10) (or any previous CyberLink VC-1 decoder) does not connect to a splitter for VC-1 is the lack of the VC-1 media type (it uses an uncommon GUID {D979F77B-DBEA-4BF6-9E6D-1D7E57FBAD53} for VC-1). A quick way to use it for VC-1 is register a CyberLink VC-1 loader (originally written by madshi):

- CLVC1Loader_MPCMPG.ax for MPC - Mpeg Source (Gabest)
- CLVC1Loader_MPCMKV.ax for MPC - Matroska Source

Input/ouput of these filters are:

- VC-1 input: {31435657-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71}
- VC-1 output: {D979F77B-DBEA-4BF6-9E6D-1D7E57FBAD53}

These filters can be connected to any of:

- CyberLink VC-1 Decoder (PDVD7.x)
- CyberLink VC-1 Decoder (PDVD8)
- CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD9)
- CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10)

with the highest merit value.

Another quick way specific to MPC HomeCinema is add GUID of VC-1 {31435657-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71} as a media subtype to MEDIATYPE_Video of CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10 or PDVD9):

CyberLink Video Decoder (PDVD10) + MKV VC-1: Heavy Stuttering

You can immediately see it with many MKV files with a VC-1 video track. That may be the reason why CyberLink does not use its own decoder for MKV VC-1.

Excellent, thanks. I'll try this when I am home later.

No worries Eugen. The engineeres have "all" the info they need but can not reproduce the problem. I wonder if win 7 x64 cpmbined with a high res or multi-monitor situation could be the culprit since I am running the same OS and get the same error. Come to think of it the engineeres don't have that bit of info either.... Oh well at least you have arcsoft

Tom,

I don't mean to be an ass or cynical but your engineer's hardly have "all" the info they need. Maybe you've never worked tech support but knowing my resolutions and ONE of the video cards in my systems hardly qualifies as trouble shooting. A real trouble shooting routine would require info on my HW, OS, driver versions, etc. This is why I am being cynical - if they are really trying to trouble shoot off of what I briefly posted then there is almost no hope of reolving the issue ever, much less overnight. Nothing personal against you but this is the sort of half baked broken english respons I expect from the cyberlink tech support.

Now I've seen the commercials

That's my bad. I was using my new Motorola Droid for the first time to surf the web and I totally missed the part about lack of HD audio support being restricted to MKV files only. My apologies to Cyberlink.

Problems playing DVDs from hard drive

1 - can not playback directly from Windows Explorer (Video_TS.IFO)


and I notice this message




2- If you play back the internal browser, the screen is framed by the skin



What makes me angry is that with PowerDVD 9 do not have this problem

Playing from VIDEO_TS folder gives no audio. Making an iso from the folder an playing the iso file gives audio!

Playing mkv with dts/ac3 gives no audio.

Free mpc-hc works better!


Using Windows 7 x64 and ATI 5870 with latest drivers. Passes audio through hdmi to Pioneer Receiver.

i get the same with windows 7 32bit,but i have my plasma set to 1080p and pwerdvd will drop it down to its native res which is 1366/768 and then it will play my films if that is any help,and if i leave it at the native res next time i start powerdvd it comes on fine without the message

Tom- you have still not addressed my questions regarding hard drive playback of Blu Ray and DVD disks. There remains confusion in this thread as to any limitations the program places on this kind of playback. I also sent you a PM about it

From my quick testing of it, it was not possible. Only if your movies are ISO's. Could not get DVD/BD in folders to play. Again, limited testing and maybe missed something.

Thanx. But I am running at native res on my monitors. So not sure if that is the issue. It is probabl some stupid software check an engineere put in thinking hey this is a good idea, when its not. It would be nice to know what triggers the error because then we can look for it in our systems.

Hi Tom,

I have just come across this thread as i am looking to find out how to do some bitstreaming on my new HTPC?

I have setup a new HTPC with an MSI 5570 1gb card.
I have installed catalyst 10.2 (and now 10.3a) to try to fix the issue.
I have tried and am still using the EDID fix from another thread.
I am using Win 7 32bit, 3GB ram and liteon Blu-ray player (all files played are official blu-rays not iso's or ripped copies)

Basically what ever I do with powerDVD 10 I cannot get the "3rd Option" to appear to allow me to output pure DTS-HD / Dolby TrueHD.
I have my setup connected to a denon 2309 amp which support and works with both formats (have tested that using HDMI and sony bdp-360 player).

I downloaded a trial of TMT 3 and DTS-HD worked first time, however with out paying for TMT 3 I cannot test Dolby TrueHD (although I would think it would work!!!!). I brought PowerDVD as V 8 came with the Blu-ray drive and for £40 upgrade to v 10 ultra I thought "bargain"

Could you advise as to what the issue may be? Your supported hardware lists 5xxx series as supported but someone on another thread said that on another list it was not down on there.

Cheers

As you have a Denon amp try Tulli's EDID overide thread.

You aren't missing anything here, they have deliberately disabled BDMV folder playback. I am going to stick to TMT 3 (BDMV folder playback is perfectly fine with TMT 3) until Cyberlink engineers sort out BD folder playback issue. Hey Cyberlink, thanks for releasing another crippled version of PDVD and you are loosing customers.

I didn't think i did, but after not being able to"see" WHS or network computers, i really didn't care much about the rest. Funny, it does see the 2 media servers i have in WHS, but of course won't play anything from them. Seems like they trying to make this a more "global" player, with MKV's and such, but why leave one of the more important features out? They have steadily remove features from the software, 7.3 still the best they ever put out. Like you will stick with TMT3. I can care less about the 3D stuff they trying to sell.

BD Folder playback has been disabled for quite a while and it's not new to version 10. I'm not sure what "confusion" there is on that in this thread or what the engineers have to "sort out". I believe that it's working as intended (ie: they don't want you playing back BDs from folders).

Sorry,I feel the first Holy Grail for HTPC is to act like SA BD payer. I bought PDVD10 and it works great with all my discs. I get a great picture with fast load times( faster than most SA players) and bitstream support. If 3D catches on I'll be ready for that as well , player wise.
