Tough to take part in the Betatest of Moovielive you need to get invited, and yes another Social Network Platform that Harvests user data directly integrated in the Movie Player on your Desktop, how sweet is that *sarcasm*. Slowly all the Data about your daily live<- intentionaly ;) can be put online and others can use it to optimize their selling "enslavement" strategies and get reactions or just spy on you :D

Perhaps it might be an idea for Cyberlink to advance their actual video player out of alpha pre-testing before they go into an MS-Office level of bloatware.

Oh, what's that you say? PDVD 7 was a commercial, fully finished product? Surely you jest?

Since it's a new thread, I'll ask. Is there really a one button alternative yet? Arcsoft and Nero were not quite released the last time I used my HD-DVD player and I don't know where their progress is (compatibility, stability, etc). I know MPC with the right directshow chain works but I'm tired of fiddling. I've always disliked PowerDVD but dealt with it long enough to realize I don't watch much on HD/Blu.
