WinDVD BD problems

Post by TLRominger »

first let me say hello and I hope someone here can help me. I'm running the Blu-ray version of WinDVD and for 95% of the time its great. However for several of my newer movies {Sunshine, and Resident Evil}
i get a MFC application error when trying to start them. The only differance I can see with them is that they are profile 1.1 movies. Does anyone here know of a fix for this I havent been able to find any real info on it. Thanks for the help and my specs are listed below.

BFG 680i motherboard
Intel E6400 clocked at 3.0Ghz
4 Gig of RAM
Vista 64bit Home Premium
EVGA 8800 GT video

I have had problems with the last 3 BD I purchased:

1.Pirates of the Caribbean: The play option on the main menu sends it to an infinite loop and there is an annoying red line at the bottom of screen during playback
2.Underdog: There is no option to play on main menu and the play button on Windvd does not work either. So I can¡¦t play it at all
3.Resident Evil: Its just crashes with a MFC error you describe below.

My system meets the requirements and passes the pretest from Coreal:

I¡¦m running Vista 32 Ultimate and the hw passed the pretest from windvd
I am using the pioneer bd player are you?

Thats the one I'm using. Sadly to say they all work perfect with powerDVD Ultra. I'm going to have to see about RMAing my copy of WinDVD.

let me know how the RMA works out. I'm moving in the same direction since the tech support is worthless and they dont seem commited to fix the problems with thier software.

I am having the same problem, I wanted to play commercial Blu-rays on my PC. I only have one that I bought "Sunshine". I purchased, downloaded the WINDVD HD/BDand all I can get is the MFC error. I even picked up an EVGA 8600HTS but it still crashes to MFC error. My computer shows compliant on their checker, all parts are HDCP compliant.
Like the others I have PowerDVD and they will play using this. But I upgraded the windvd silver to Ultra hd/bdfor 69 bucks and I would like it to work.
Has anybody out there gotten WIN DVD to play these Blu-ray movies yet?

What version?

As I read the description, WinDVD8 Platnum will not play BR or HD disks, but will play the files - so I guess you need AnyDVD and rip the disks to the hard drive.

Do you have some other version (new V9?) that will play the BR/HD disks?
