WILL MY POWERDVD 16 KEY WORK WITH 17 DRIVER
By the way, the Windows 10 Nvidia 940M driver on HP's site for this laptop gives corrupt file error when extracting. I will be contacting Cyberlink to find out why the HP Envy 17-n009a is unable to play blu-ray even though it passes all the Blu-Ray advisor criteria. Using the the Integrated Graphics driver All the key critera now give a pass (I am running with an external USB3 Blu-Ray drive as this machine is fitted with a DVDRW).Įven though all the criteria now pass, PowerDVD 15 is giving the classic 80040111 error which is usually reported if the machine is not HDCP compliant. Even though the graphics card reports as Blu-Ray compliant. I had also previously tried this test using the Intel HD5500 driver and the driver also failed the Blu-Ray compliance test. Ihe Cyberlink Blu-Ray compliance test only works if the Integrated Graphics driver option is selected. I had previously tried running this test selecting the High Performance NVIDIA Processor and the driver reports as not supported, which is an odd result. If I select the Integrated Graphics driver, Cyberlink's Blu-Ray advisor runs using the Nvidia 940M driver and the driver reports as supporting Blu-Ray. If you are able to get powerdvd to show the dvd-Audio when you play your discs, please let me know.Thanks for the suggestion, but I have made some progress today. That problem only applies if you you are getting BSODs with the ctdvda2k.sys driver, and yes disabling hyperthreading would also stop the problem. So to answer your question Heybo, Powerdvd6 will only play the dvd-Video portion of a disc and the dualcore issue would not apply to you. In Video mode you can look at the current audio format icon and it will tell you what its actually playing. If powerdvd can't verify the CPPM key then it wont even try to play the real DVD-AUDIO, it will go straight to the DVD-Video portion of the disc. I confirmed that PowerDVD will switch to a DVD-Audio logo when trying to play DVD-Audio. Everyone I have talked to so far has had zero success, they can only access video or only playback at 48Khz as opposed to 96Khz. It will either have a DVD-Video logo or a DVD-Audio logo. You can confirm this by inserting your dvd. That video menu is in fact a DD5.1 or DTS soundtrack and not the MLP losseless audio that generally defines the DVD-AUDIO spec. Generally what PowerDVD6 will do is you wll get a message that says "updating CPPM key" and then it will give you a video menu and start playing music. (a analogy to DVD video would be CSS protection and mpeg2 compression) If a disc has no CPPM then powerdvd will run it fine, otherwise its limited. PowerDVD6 deluxe is "supposed to" be able to decrypt the CPPM protection on DVD-AUDIO discs and additionally decompress the MLP format.
I will answer any additional questions in this thread.Ī : limited selection, difficult to search for.ĭ : decent selection, easy searchĬ : decent selection, easy search On X-Fi cards you will want to to switch to audio creation mode and and enable bit-match playback for the best sound quality. You will have to do this every time you start the player!ġ) WINDVD7: Works by using the creative driver ctdvda2k.sys (no advantage to just using Creative player)Ģ) POWERDVD6: does not work on protected content, will only play DD and DTS for hybrid discs or downsample 96Khz to 48Khzģ) Creative Mediasource DVD-AUDIO PLAYER: comes with installion CD Then goto your task manager and make sure CTDVDA.exe is using only 1 CPU by right clicking on it and making sure only 1 cpu is checkboxed. Disable the autoplay function of the player. If you have a problem with BSOD errors on dualcore or hypethreaded systems caused by ctdvda2k.sys there is a simple but annoying fix. There is hardware DRM protection required by the DVD-Audio standard that is the reason for this. The Creative Audigy 2 ZS or greater such as X-Fi are the only soundcards that can playback true DVD-Audio in PCM or MLP 24/96 and not just DD or DTS tracks. You must use the analog outs on your card.
