Default Total Media Theater And Corel WinDVD9 Does Not Play X-MEN Blu-ray Disc

Corel WinDVD9 is not playing the latest 20th Century Fox titles. As far as I am aware I have the latest update and patch. The automatic update does not work at all with Corel WinDVD9. Several 20th Century Fox titles like X-MEN does not work with WinDVD9.

Also Total Media Theater does not play X-MEN using the latest update. The disc loads but the menu screen never appears even after waiting several minutes. This has been the only 20th Century Fox title that I have had problems with running Total Media Theater as far as I can remember.

Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Ultra was able to play X-Men. I did have the player crash a few times but I was able to play the entire movie with all extras on disc one.

Two more issues that I do not like about using computer BLU-RAY software players

1. Unable to manually turn off the monitor when a BLU-RAY disc is inserted do to HDCP issues: No matter what player I am using to play BLU-RAY discs if I want to pause a movie and turn off the computer monitor using the power switch on the monitor I get some type of message about HDCP. Then to play the movie again one needs to reboot the computer. All of the BLU-RAY software packages drop HDCP sync when the monitor is turned off for a few seconds and turned on again. It would be ideal if future BLU-RAY software could re-sync to the HDCP once the monitor is turned off and back on using the manual power switch on the monitor.

2. Power setting problems: When the BLU-RAY software is loaded the power settings are disabled. This is ideal since no one wants the monitor to turn off while watching a BLU-RAY movie. The problem is most of the time all of the BLU-RAY software packages I have used have some type of glitch that forgets to re-enable the power setting rules. For example I have my computer set to automatically turn off the display after 20 minutes if no one is using the computer. The BLU-RAY players will disable this setting when launching like they should. No one wants to be watching a movie and have the monitor turn off. The problem is that most of the time when closing the BLU-RAY software player this feature will not be re-enabled and the monitor is set to never turn off. So most of the time when I get done watching a BLU-RAY movie I need to manually change Vista Ultimate 64 Bit Edition with Service pack 1 to turn off the monitor in 20 minutes. I wish this issue would get fixed. It happens to me most of the time when I use any BLU-RAY player. Only once and a while the BLU-RAY software player will correctly restore the turn off monitor power setting to 20 minutes when the BLU-RAY software is closed.
