PowerDVD 8 + Windows Vista

[kachijs]

Hey!

Got some problem. I had Windows XP and had no problems playing Blu-ray movies. Now i have Windows Vista Ultimate x86 (tried x64 too) and when i launch PowerDVD movie starts with blank (black) screen all i can hear is sound no picture

If i try to launch only one file form disk it plays perfectly

You will need to download some codecs to be able to play media. I recommend the Vista Codec pack: Vista Codec Package Homepage (VCP)

Quick question, quick version of PowerDVD? If it is anything other than Ultra, that would be why it won't play BD (at least as far as Vista goes with the extra DRM) as Ultra is the only version that plays BD,

This is one of those things that it's better to talk directly with the manufacturer, otherwise anything we suggest/try is just a guess unless someone comes along that had the same or similar problem.

ill let you know how it went

Please do, that way if some we'll know for the next time if someone ends up with the same problem.

While your at it, ask them what is the deal with Moovie blah. They lost the plot after PDVD 7

(sorry, this has nothing to do with the topic )
