Power DVD playing Déjà Vu - Blu-ray Forum

smiley · 06-26-2007, 06:06 AM

I have a computer running Cyberlink PowerDVD that I have had since Feuary. I rent movies reguarly from NetFlix. But I have been unable to play Daja VU. All the previews and everything play just fine but the color in the movie is all messed up. To the point where you can't even tell what anything even is in the movie. I reported the Blu-Ray to Netflix as being defective but the replacement they sent me did the same thing. Is there something special about this movie? Anybody know of a fix?

what kind of video card are you running ?

smiley · 06-26-2007, 03:55 PM

I have NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT HDCP compliant video card. It is connected from it DVI port to the HDMI port on a HP 42" plasma TV (also HDCP).

If you're running DVI, HDCP doesn't work over that.

However if it were an HDCP issue, as far as I know it would refuse to display anything at all.

I would think the same thing why does it play everything else and not deja vu???

supersix4 · 06-30-2007, 06:47 AM

7600 might have trouble doing blu-rays on a 42'' screen should find an older monitor if you have one that has dvi and hook it to that if its able to do it on like a 14'' or w/e size monitor you know its the vid card...

DVI works fine with hdcp if hdcp is incorporated in it, and every new NV card is 100% hdcp compliant, so plz do not give a man such "explanations". It is quite obvious this is due to Power DVD (since it is not for the first time it won't play some specific discs). I am afraid U'll have to wait Cyberlink update.

My suggestion would be to wait for some kind of codec update.

I hadn't heard of problems with Cyberlink not playing specific disks. That is a lot better than the other "explanations". Because I know my system is 100% hdcp compliant.

Sound's like that's what I will have to do. Hopefully I will see something soon. Maybe I should E-Mail them.

Other than this one movie my system has worked great for playing Blu-Ray.

is it only deja vu that you have trouble with?

Yes it is only Deja VU that I have had problems with. I tried two seperate Deja Vu BDs and had the same problem with both. So it's not going to be a NetFlix problem. I have played a lot of other Blu-Rays with no problems at all. Just Deja Vu wont play.

I got a fix from Cyberlink. Now everything works great and every blu-ray I have tried has works.
