| 1109705 | 2010-06-13 06:11:00 | I just bought a LG BH10LS30 bluray player/writer for my PC. The software player that came with it is Cyberlink PowerDVD. Hardware is AMD x4 945, geforce 9600GT/1 gb mem. OS win7 x64, 8 GB 1066 ram Sata drives. So how come is play very jerkily? Apparantly not totally uncommon. Is the rumour that Cyberlink have problems with region B. I tried to load free trial of WinDVD but although it installs, it just won't start (like it's not there). Anybody have a clue? |

| 1109706 | 2010-06-13 06:33:00 | Have you enabled hardware acceleration for PowerDVD? I don't use it myself, I use Totalmedia, so I can't tell you how in its settings somewhere I imagine. |

| 1109707 | 2010-06-13 07:19:00 | Try looking at event viewer. There may been some errors. I have in the past had playback problems caused by IDE/Sata errors. I had a lot of issues with Power DVD, some of their later compatibility updates totally broke playback for me. I had to uninstall it and reinstall an earlier version so that it would carry on working. Try the trial for TMT3. Much better program and they are responsive to their customers unlike Cyberlink. Just be aware that the trial will not give you any sound with a Dolby Soundtrack. So test with a DTS disk. |

| 1109709 | 2010-06-13 08:56:00 | This will help aid in diagnosing the issue, you can download a Full HD showcase from Microsoft: www.microsoft.com Specifically you want something that is in full 1080p. If you PC can't play that back, you know there's some form of hardware acceleration issue likely with the graphics card. Make sure your display drivers are fully up to date :) |

| 1109710 | 2010-06-14 07:07:00 | Well solved. Good enough for me anyway. Appears the rumour PowerDVD has region B problems is correct. Plays perfectly with Total Media theatre 3. WinDVD wouldn't run after install so it was TMT3 by default. Why would LG supply such shoddy software with thier players. Surely that is likely to have many of their customers complaining to retailers. many thanks to those who answered, especially KarameaDave & McRuff for thier steering me toTotalmedia. Cheers |
