Twilight Time blu-ray playback issue with BD-ROM drive

[ravenus]

Hi,

I play my blu-ray discs through an ASUS BD-ROM drive with AnyDVD HD installed and PowrDVD9, which came with my drive. I am having an issue with playback that seems exclusive to the 2 TT blu-rays I have, (The Big Heat and NoTLD90) No other blu-rays in my collection have this issue.

When I play the movie disc more than once (i.e. after the first time), it brings up the option to resume where I left off or restart. At that time it shows an image in a small window from the last point where I left off. The problem is that regardless of what option I choose, whether I resume or whether I choose the main menu, everything from that point shows only in that small window, with the bulk of the screen just plain black. even the main menu screen is displayed only within that window.

Anyone else using PC-based blu-ray playback have this issue? Any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this?

Maybe you should try another software to see if it plays well?
When i have a problem with PowerDVD and BLurays I use TotalMedia Theater 5.
Or if I want to see the film only, MPC.

Since I already have MPC on my PC I tried that, and what do you know that one does the job. Thanks for the very useful suggestion

Since this happens only with my TT blu-rays I assume it's specific to the manner in which they have been encoded.

The problem with MPC (and I hope it's fixed in the future) is that you can see only the film and not the menus and extras.
If you want that, use another software. ;-)
