The files were infact different, but not by much, it was actually smaller than the original.
Every time you put in a new movie it writes to the 001.fcl.
Hmm. Interesting. Thanks. A few questions:

- Are you sure its every time you put in a new movie? Not every time Power DVD gets new keys from the internet? Can you re-install and insert a new movie (for that new installation) and check whether the file(s) has/have changed? What movies do change it? Does it change only once or with every new movie?
- How many versions do you know of?
- Is 000.fcl still original?
- Is there any difference in behaviour between 7.1 and 7.2 in this matter?
- What do you mean by "not by much": how many bytes of difference are we talking about and where? Are you talking about a difference in the content or just the size? Are they different in content?

General question: does anybody have an (old) PowerDVD version that doesn't support HD/BD playback? Does it also have *.fcl files?

Thanks.

PS. Its possible they have given a separate Key Set for BD. Which means two full sets would need roughly 16kb.
PPS. It might be possible Power DVD is removing Device Keys it knows it will never need (which it can see from the MKB on the first disc it sees) which might explain the "shrinking" here.
