Playback issue - Blu-ray Forum

chrisactiv8 · 12-26-2009, 12:59 AM

I use a Pioneer Combo drive with Power DVD 8 Ultra. Haven't had issues until now. The last 2 movies I bought Gladiator and Braveheart I can only get to play with the commentary. Not the movie istelf. I bought Gladiator first and thought it's something wrong wih the disc after buying Braveheart and having the same thing happen, I'm not so sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have both of those titles and they play ok with PowerDVD 9, give me a mo and ill test them with Power8......

Ok, so when I first put in Braveheart in Power8, it asked me to update, but I cancelled that, and selected the BD drive, the disc loads and is playing fine with regular DTS HD MA audio. the exact release is; 8.0.2521.50.

Your one might need updating? Im using the same Aussie discs as you, first day buy too.

I've tried updating from the cyberlink website...the last update available. Still no luck. Is this the same thing as you suggested?

Open up PowerDVD8, right click the screen and choose 'about' what version do you have?

chrisactiv8 · 12-26-2009, 02:58 AM

8.03017b50

You have checked the pop-up menu and selected the regular audio eh? maybe your powerdvd is setup to automatically select a different audio track?
