The Ultimate BLU-RAY player software faceoff (4 different computer software packages)

[HDTV1080P]

The Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor on BLU-RAY is not 100% compatible with Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra Version 8.0. Everything works on the BLU-RAY disc accept the BD-LIVE feature. When attempting to play BD-LIVE with the latest firmware update from Cyberlink it just displays the Universal message that mentions something like a firmware update might be needed since the BD-LIVE function is not compatible with the player. Hopefully Cyberlink will release a firmware update to correct this issue.

ArSoft TotalMedia Theater played the BD-LIVE bonus material just fine on the Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I am glad I have 3 separate BLU-RAY players on my computer since it really is necessary to have more then one BLU-RAY player in order to play all the movies.

It is great that the Mummy Tomb of the Dragon Emperor comes with a 480I dual layer bonus DVD but hopefully Universal Studios will start including a dual layer 1080P BLU-RAY bonus disc on future movies instead of a dual layer 480I DVD. Of course when 1080P bonus material is not available the 480I DVD is better then nothing.
