    Can recommend a good Player for HDDVD on Vista? I have Cyberlinks PowerDVD and Nero Showtime AND WinDVD but none of these will play the Bourne Ultimatium, I just get a black screen. Any suggestions.

    I get the impression from your post your machine has a regular dvd drive.

    You cannot play a hd dvd on your pc without a hd dvd drive in or attached to the machine, software will not make it play.

    make sure you have the latest powerdvd/nero and you might even need some HD plugin for them.

    ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre - I intend to purchase it when my HTPC gets upgraded next month.

    Any idea how it interfaces with MCE? Would be a PITA to have to close MCE or switch apps to play a disc.

    Not sure why you would pick up I had a regular DVD drive. I have a combo HDDVD/BlueRay drive, all BR discs play fine, but HDDVD don't - weird. Yeah was looking at Arcsoft, but it wasn't (isn't) release till new years day, maybe I hold on for that.

    Any luck with that, I have the same problem with Bourne and Transformers? I either get a blank screen or it hangs on the web connection screen before the main menu.

    Anyone whos still looking tou can watch hddvds on and PC with windows XP or higher using this software.

    HD Playback Pack for HDDVD and BluRay.

    Its 79p and ships worldwide, its made up of a collection of open source apps plus the HFS fix so windows xp can see the discs with an autoinstaller, so you dont need to know anything to do it. You just insert the disc and accept everything. 5 minutes your watching HDDVDs on your PC.

    It also allows you to watch HDDVD5 and HDDVD9 movies on a normal PC DVD Player.
    Basically I am just charging for the cost of making the disc and you can feel free to sell copies on ebid ebay and your own websites.

    After all the major media players cut the CODEC from their pack i just want people to be able to watch them again. I started this website as i was infuriated when they tried to simply KILL the format, some of us bought films and players!


    AND FOR THE BLACK SCREEN USE ANYDVD HD. THERE IS A DEMO INCLUDED ON THE DISC OR CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM THERE WEBSITE
