#Cyberlink powerdvd 15 not playing blu ray movie#
Sadly such DRM mechanisms can push people into ripping their movies just so they can insulate themselves from such unwanted reach (by the MPAA) into their costly home movie collection. In fact Microsoft has even shut down one of their DRM music servers which locked peole out of the music they bought and caused quite an issues. Such hasn't been used as yet (other than early PowerDVD BD software being revocated?) but the mechanism allows for it.ĭRM puts the scheme owners in controll of the things you buy. What's worse is that you could insert a BD disk into your BD drive within your PC or even within your BD player under your TV and the revocation mechanism could be used to force the BD reader/software/player to toast itself and stop any BD playback. I could only do that (in different movies) with PowerDVD, and not the others you suggested. And it's easy for them to use this to stop updates and thus push you to a new version and have you pay $$ over and over again. I just want to open the movie as an actual blu-ray disc, instead of playing its files individually. Each year, new keys may be needed which means the software providers must release updates just to watch the new relaeses. &0183 &32 Cyberlink PowerDVD just keeps getting better and better with every new version and is now one of the best programs available not only for playing physical DVDs but also for organizing and playing almost any multimedia file. Intel: Intel recommends you do not use SGX on Intel Comet Lake and Rocket Lake platforms, as it will not be supported by Intel going forward. This issue occurred on all versions of PowerDVD on August 17, 2019. This means that you are on the upgrade treadmill when it comes to BD movie playback on PC. PowerDVD users cannot play any Ultra HD Blu-ray (UHD-BD) formatted video on systems using Intel's Software Guard Extensions (SGX). Added to this is a revocation mechanisms that could render your player or software obsolete. BluRay discs use a rather onerous form of Digital Rights Management that mandates periodic updates to the decryption keys and the java based unscrambling mechanism used to simply view your purchased discs.
