Problems with LG GGW-H20L - Blu-ray Forum

noora · 05-13-2008, 09:10 PM

I've been trying to play Blu-ray movies on my PC, I have the LG GGW-H20L and it just hangs. I've tried it with the Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra and ArcSoft Total Media. The two movies I've tried it with is POTC: AWE and The Wild. I have an Intel Q9300 processor and 2x8800GTX 768MB in SLI, with Vista Ultimate 32-bit. Initially PowerDVD said I had to download this patch and I did, but as soon as I press play my PC hangs, and with ArcSoft it hangs when I see the language selection page and I have to restart my PC.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's really bugging me!

Turn off DEP for powerdvd and you should get playback...
both those movies have menus that require loading

I think the instructions on how are on the end of the 2nd or 3rd page

Good luck

I just tried that and it still won't play. As soon as I press play PowerDVD hangs and if I click on anything else, my mouse and keyboard stop working.

OK I disabled SLI and it worked - so I can't use SLI when watching Blu-ray? Anyone else have an SLI setup?

i would put in a ticket with cyberstink to find out if that's a known issue...
they are really lame with responses, and might take a few replies to get them to forward your info to someone that knows what's up, but its better to inform them and them try to work out a fix than for no one to speak up and it just remain a problem
