PowerDVD 9 error message:Media not supported

[Manupug]

Hello PPL!!
I bought a bluray burner not long ago, I was pretty excited being able to burn BD and being able to whatch BD movies if I wanted.
I finally decided to get one and now the only thing that I get is a messages that says: NOT SUPPORTED MEDIA.
That is soo frustrating, I used PowerDVD 7.3 that came with the LG burner, I also downloaded PowerDVD 9, WinDVD 10 Pro, all with the same result. I can access the disc's folders and I'm assuming that the movies files are the m2ts because of some googling around that I did to solve the issue.
What do you guys think is the problem?
I tried in both win vista Ultimate 64 and Win 7 Ultimate 64. My hardware seems to be fine because I scanned it with cyberlink Advisor, this is the log:

The memory is not accurate I have 6GB. The vudeo drivers are up to date, after I installed the drivers from CD WIN 7 downloaded an update for it. This is the log from BD advisor that I ran from WIN 7 Ultimate. In Vista did the same thing.

Please HELP!!

Are you getting that message trying to watch a legit blu-ray? powerdvd doesn't like playing pirated stuff.

Heh, actually, it's the other way around. All software players work great with 'ripped' copies of movies. I have a few movies that I watch (or need to have access to) on a regular bases stored on my hard drive so I don't have to mess with digging the discs out all the time.

[delete]... I was suggesting a possible HDCP problem, but I see from your log that you have a compliant system...

Not supported media is weird... Is this the only Blu-ray you've tried?

[RiseDarthVader]

Maybe he doesn't have PowerDVD 9 ULTRA which is the only version of it that supports BD playback.

Actually PowerDVD 7.3 that came with my blu-ray burner plays blu-rays. It's full name is CyberLink PowerDVD 7.3 Blu-ray Disc.

My question would be what kind of monitor is it? It needs to be HDCP capable.

Hmm, that's strange. I thought PowerDVD 8.0 Ultra was the first edition that played blu-ray. That's what I have.

[Jello]

The OEM editions are different from retail.
7.3 version that we have is crippled in that it only supports 2 channel audio which is good enough for my PC.

I have a HP W2007 monitor, I know that is not HD, but I thought that the Monitor did not matter, plus I want to play the movies with my projector that is HD.

This is my first Blu-ray movie I thought that could be the disc but it seems in perfect conditions.
The NOT SUPPORTED MEDIA message I get it with PowerDVD 9 on Vista, on Win7 I have the PowerDVD 7.3 and Corel WinDVD 2010, I'll install PowerDVD 9 on Win7 and let you know guys.

[Manupug]

Installed powerdvd 9 on win 7, and says: "There is a disc with an unsupported format in drive d:" Puzzled...
I'm converting the .m2ts files to an mpeg4 codec, now I can open the single files with VLC and watch them, the quality is inferior to the DVD because is compressing the 40+ GB down to a 25GB and I do not like it, plus the process takes up to 5 HOURS!! Did you guys have all this hassle when you installed BD on the computer????

[Jello]

You can't watch them on your monitor because it is not HDCP capable or are you connected to your projector with a HDMI or DVI cable?

I'm not connected to the projector yet, but if you see from the Log that I posted it says that my connection is HDCP, I do not know if is referring just to the actual cable that connects the monitor but that does not explain the Media not supported message.

So if my Monitor is not HD capable the BD player is not going to start? I copied the movie on my HDD and the movie player is not opening the movie folder. As soon as I get the DVI cable to connect the projector I'll post the results, even if I'm not convinced that the wrong output freezes the player. I believe that in that case the monitor should either start flicking like a crazy or shut off. When I tried to set up the monitor to a full HD resolution and the monitor popped a message that the signal was out of range and I needed to restore the native resolution witch is 1680x1050. I can set the monitor for a 720p resolution and that works fine.

I'm still puzzled!!

[Jello]

Okay sorry I just checked and your monitor does support HDCP so thats not the problem. Under Win XP and Power dvd 7.3 (I have the same version as you) I have watched a couple Blu-rays. Do you have a different disc to try?

I do not have a another Bluray movie yet, I'll get another this week, hopefully will work. I got the a reply to my problem from cyberlink, I'll try that and see if works...I doubt it...LOL I never had luck with Tech support, that is why I roam every forum imaginable...

I installed anydvd HD and now if I drag the folder of the movie "stream" I'm finally able to watch the frigging movie in HD!!

Still puzzled, even more. I'm disappointed because I can only watch the movie without a menu and the extra stuff that the Bluray has. Too bad!!

Thanks guys for your support.

I finally realized that the problem I was having was the OS, apparently either vista 64 or Win seven 64 do not like blu rays. I installed a vista 32 on my pc and now blu rays work fine.

Crazy uh?

Ah, I would have been ahead of all of you if I would have paid attention to this thread. Many people I know personally are having problems with Windows 7 and Vista when it comes to certain software. Man, I am still using XP and I have not had one single issue with PowerDVD 7.3 or Acrsoft TMT 3Platinum with not one single Blu-ray or HD-DVD disc. All of mine play. Please look for all of my posts on here and I went through a great deal to explain the exact patch you need with PowerDVD 7.3 and it usually does ship with the LG drives. That's unless the blu-ray burners have been shipped with the latest PowerDVD. Many of my friends and I have tested all of the PowerDVD version from the 7.3 Suite and we tested them on XP, Vista, and Windows 7. Guess what happened. The one software that worked on all of the OS's were Arcsoft TMT 3 Platinum. As far as the PowerdDVD is concerned. Oh boy, we tested 7.3 and it had no problems with XP. We ran into problems on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista and Windows 7. Man, I don't know why, but I'm still going to continue to work with XP because it still is a pretty good OS. Vista was rushed like Windows ME. And Micromoney finally got it somewhat right with Windows 7. Hah....Well not quite. My friend is having all types of nightmares with Windows 7 on a fresh and clean install. Lastly, oh yeah..., I'm a geek. Micromoney will eventually do what they always do. Service pack 1 will be out in about half a year or less. Then, shortly thereafter, Service Pack 2 will be out, then a third one until another touch screen OS will be created. Peace....
