For WinDVD9 BluRay...

Got my new Liteon BD player today.
Installed it and booted and immediately flashed to CP56 (available on international site, ONLY). I had read the reviews at newegg so was forewarned!!!

Tried BD disk but got region error.

LiteOn drive had not been set. Set to region 1. same prob.

Tried regular disk got skippy and too fast junk.

Shut down, Power off, wait 1 min, Power on, reboot.

Same problem with BD but regular DVD now plays fine. AHA!

Eject DVDs! <----------------------- EJECT ALL DVDs!!!
In Corel WinDVD9BluRay / Setup / Region tab : BD : set region as needed (for me it's 1, US)

Insert BD: plays fine. bootiful.

Moral:
1. Upgrade drive firmware if needed.
2. Set hardware drive Region, if needed, in System / Hardware / Device Manager / DVD/CDROM Driver / your BD drive / properties.
3. Full reboot with power off so DMI POOL DATA in CMOS can be reset by BIOS (I wonder here if some folks will need to actually clear CMOS and redo the bios settings on older machines... (?) )
4. WITH NO DVD IN ANY DRIVE, Corel WinDVD9BluRay Settings / Region / BD / whatever you need.

hope that helps!!!

Thanks!

Yup!!! TOYS!!!!! heehee


Let me add to this thread, that after I played a Blu Ray DVD, and then tried a regular DVD, I got the choppy speeded up sound/picture symptom. This was corrected by cold booting the system (power off, wait, power on), and I haven't experienced it again, though I "stressed it by gong repeatedly back and forth between a Blu Ray and a regular DVD. It works fine. I do not know the cause of this, though again I assume it is the DMI POOL DATA table. I notice that now that I have the LiteOn BluRay drive in the system, every time I cold power on, I get a double boot, as if it's rebuilding the DMI POOL DATA table from scratch (takes 5 seconds). This could be an artifact of my mobo, my bios, the Liteon, or Mercury being retrograde.

I have also noticed that often, now, WinDVD9BR will offer me the choice of where to start playing, a second time, after I answered it the first time. Answering the second window has no effect. If I get bored at some point I may report this to tech support, but it is really inconsequential to me.
