When AnyDVD HD is not active, PowerDVD DX brings the message, that playback failed due to missing HDCP support, because my monitor does not support HDCP. This message comes when AnyDVD HD is active. This message is misleading, because there is no virtual drive present and I only want to play the original disc from my Blu-ray drive. A Blu-ray Disc must be inserted into a BD-ROM drive for playback." "PowerDVD DX does not support Blu-ray Disc playback on a virtual device. PowerDVD DX (DELL) brings the following error message:

With the previous version PowerDVD DX (DELL) there was no problem with playing Blu-ray discs when AnyDVD v6.4.7.9 was active. Blu-ray discs (it does not matter which one) cannot be played anymore with PowerDVD DX (DELL) and AnyDVD HD v6.4.7.9 active. DVDs can still be played with AnyDVD HD v6.4.7.9 active. This is the latest version and it was released on October 30th, 2008. Blu-ray/DVD playback software: PowerDVD DX 8. Now I tried with the Blu-ray disc "1408 - Director's Cut" (NL, Region B), but it is still the same error. Is there any way to update AnyDVD (HD) so that it may work with the latest version of "PowerDVD DX" again? If I perform a downgrade to the earlier "PowerDVD DX" version, "Casino Royale" plays, but there is no way to make "Iron Man" work, because this disc needs the latest "PowerDVD DX" version, which unfortunately does not seem to be compatible to AnyDVD anymore.ĭoes the latest update of "PowerDVD 8 Ultra" (which also provides support for "Iron Man") still work with AnyDVD? There is NO Software for Virtual drives (like Virtual Clone Drive or DAEMON Tools) installed. When AnyDVD (HD) is active, "PowerDVD DX" brings the error: "PowerDVD cannot play from a virtual drive, only real Blu-ray drives and discs are supported" (the message is in German on my machine).Īnd when AnyDVD (HD) is not active, "PowerDVD DX" brings the error: "Playback not possible due to missing HDCP" (again the message is in German). With "PowerDVD DX" until last week, there was no problem.īut a few days ago Cyberlink provided an update for "PowerDVD DX" via automatic download (which made the German "Iron Man" Blu-ray playable) and since this update it is not possible to watch ANY Blu-ray discs with "PowerDVD DX" anymore.

Therefore I switched to "PowerDVD DX" which was shipped with my DELL-PC. I recently bought Sony's Casino Royale (2006) Deluxe Edition Blu-ray 2-Disc-Set and wanted to watch it like I watched several other Blu-ray titles without problem.įirst I tried PowerDVD 7.3 (HD) and it played, but the disc had several playback problems (stutter, freezes, etc.). I just want to watch my legally bought Blu-ray discs with this equipment. Second, I use AnyDVD (HD) principally just for one thing: I have a new PC with Blu-ray capability, but a 3 year old monitor without HDCP support. First I want to say that I like AnyDVD (HD) very much and had no problems until this week.
