HD-DVD Playback on Vista 64

dezza9995 · 3rd March 2007, 07:41

Any ideas on what software i can use to play HD-DVD movies. I have Vista 64bit, Geforce 8800 and XBOX 360 HD Drive. I have just bought 2 films but cannot get PowerDVD to play them for some reason, im thinking maybe the poor driver support from Nvidia. In the HD checker that comes with Powerdvd, it shows graphics card as being unkown and drivers unsupported, but Cyberlink state that the 8800GTS is supported.

Thanks.

Ok, i've took the PowerDVD 6.5 and AnyDVD approach. Ill see if it plays in the morning when i get in from work. Its amazing that i have to use a program to remove protection of a HD-DVD that i own, just to watch it. You get stiffed these days even using the legit approach.
