I'm surpised that he hasn't earned himself a ban yet. He seems far more interested in being hostile and bashing Blu-ray than anything else. Heck he even had a post saying that he didn't want help - he just wanted everyone to know how bad Blu-ray was.

For those interested:

My problems related to "The Other Boleyn Sister" Blu-ray relate to AACS keys.

This seems to be limited to WinDVD but other players may also be involved

Contacted Corel (winDVD): They were suprisingly helpful. In talking to tech support and reading in between the lines it seems my issue is realted to AACS keys..... AKA DRM. They are working on it.

Seems a bunch of AACS keys have been hacked (or not) and then revoked. This is why I get no error messages or crashes .... I simply don't have rights to play so the player silently switches from play to stop. A window is supposed to pop up but it doesn't possibly related to Commodo firewall even though it is off.

This AACS nonsense puts an ON/OFF switch on your Blu-ray player for new disks and possibly even for old disks. One also wonders if the major players will stop allowing AACS key updates on older versions when they release a new version ...... forced upgrades!

After an AACS update my issues will vanish as usual ....... until next time

I was wrong yet again ....... This whole issue has nothing to do with the above and nothing to do with my system.

This issue is casued by the WinDVD DVD9.0.14.91_63207_Plus_iUpgrade. It breaks some but not all Blu-ray titles and HD-DVDs.

Apply this patch at your own risk!

Here is my specs:

E6750 Core2 with 2GB
Nvidia 8800GTS
LG GCC-H20L
Auzentech Meridian Sound
