good work!

WOW, a big statement from slysoft to support hd-dvd instead of blu-ray!

regards,
a big hd-dvd fan

Well I havn't tried this latest beta, but on the previous one I couldn't get FFRoss or From Hell to play back from a BD-r on a PS3. IT would give the 'Check Fox's website' error, menu's would work fine but film played back corrupted

I currently have PowerDVD 7.3.2911 installed, should I update it to 7.3.3104a.1?

I have got a question is BD+ really down? Because I can't believe that just copying the whole machine will crack a copy protection which should work for years. I can't believe that there was made such a big mistake. I would like it and would laugh but as some said in the forum I also believe it is an implementation error. So the next wave of BD+ titles will fix this.
Could anybody of the Slysoft team please clear up what's really the case and give us some information what will come?A kind of roadmap?!( I know perhaps I am goning on your nerves.)

It seems that in order for the BD+ titles to playback correctly, the BD+ VM code must be present to be run and do the necessary unscrambling of the content. That would not even be an issue, except that the BD+ code has the ability to refuse to do the unscrambling if it is "not happy" with its environment (lack of AACS, hacked player, etc.). If such code is present, then this current method will probably not work. Given that it is currently working suggests that such code is not present in the first round of BD+ discs. According to Wikipedia:

BD+ is a component of the Blu-ray Disc Digital Rights Management system. It was developed by Cryptography Research Inc. and is based on their SPDC concept.[1] BD+ is effectively a small virtual machine embedded in authorized players. It allows content providers to include executable programs on Blu-ray Discs. Such programs can:[2]

* examine the host environment, to see if the player has been tampered with. Every licensed playback device manufacturer must provide the BD+ licensing authority with memory footprints that identify their devices.
* verify that the player's keys have not been changed.
* execute native code, possibly to patch an otherwise insecure system.
* transform the audio and video output. Parts of the content will not be viewable without letting the BD+-program unscramble it.

The only thing we really care about is the last item. Thus, all that is needed to remove BD+ stuff from a disc for good is to create a working BD+ VM that just does the unscrambling part of BD+ only, and just ignores all the other stuff. Sounds simple enough, but since the specs of the BD+ VM are secret, it will take a bit of work to come up with such a program. Enter Slysoft...

I have been using 7.3.3104a.1 since its release and it plays all current Blu Ray and HD DVD`s with no problems. Its recommended quite a bit on this forum for people having problems playing Blu Ray movies. I did notice that with 3104a.1 when playing Blu Ray movies a box opens up and asks you to update PowerDVD. I select No and movie plays anyway without updating.

Sorry for posting about this problem again and again, but I still have not resolved the problem.
So, I have Pirates 1 and Spider-man trilogy (all French BDs), and I cannot play those titles with PowerDVD 3104: only have a black screen because it doesn't load the Java-menu.
If I want to play them, I have to rip them to hard drive with AnyDVD, then boot to my other system with PDVD 3319 and play them from hard drive.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Is there any way to solve my problem? Can AnyDVD be fully compatible with PDVD 3319?
Heeelllpp, please, please.
