when i put a blu ray in the drive and try and pay it, powerdvd just 'stops responding' had triedit with anydvd before but it just scans the disc and dosnt actually make it readable.
i would like to resolve this as i am going to buy an htpc case for desktop soon, also i am very catious about buying any retail versions of powerdvd or nero, as they dont seem to want to play blu rays.
the drive itself works fine with data transfer and that, its just playback tht is problematic.
any ideas.

I'm using the same BD drive and was never able to get it to work with Windows 7....but I'm using it with Vista and PowerDVD 7.3 and it works perfectly the way I use it.
I use ClownBD to extract the main feature from the BD along with AnyDVDHD. I store these as ISO on my server and playback with PowerDVD 7.3.
I output audio and video over hdmi from an ATI 4550.
All the menus and extras are stripped off and PowerDVD seems to work fine.
If I try to play back most disks without stripping off the extras and menus it locks up for me as well.
Chris.

I put all my content on my media server and watch later, I never actually watch anything directly from disk. If I did want to watch directly from disk I would use my PS3.

Strange, I have the same drive, use Windows 7 Professional x64 and have never had any problems, I never installed any software with the drive, I let Windows detect it and install whatever drivers it needed. I only use the drive to rip Blu-ray disk's now but it worked fine when I was playing off the disk. I didn't use Powerdvd though, I used Arcsoft Total Media Theater.

and/or an old version of Anydvd. Powerdvd really sucks ass, but the ultimate, platinum, ******* latest greatest version seems to work fine on my machine.
did you try the pdvd adviser software to see if it detected any problems?

Why?
Just convert the movie to an MKV file with Mike's program.
Works a treat.
All the commercial playback software sucks anyway, it's not the drive's fault.

i do listen.
i know that its the software , but i find that its defeating the object of buying blu rays if you have to keep on converting them.
thinking of getting "LiteOn IHES208-31 8x Internal Blu-Ray Combo Lightscribe - SATA"
i had also tried other software with LG drive and all it was doing was freezing
