For example, my MSI GT80 Titan notebook has a blu-ray burner with 3D disc playback capability (it has a 2x read speed). Plus, we can usually do more with PowerDVD than we can with a dedicated blu-ray player in an expensive home theater system.

In spite of its shortcomings, it is the most reliable movie viewing software you can get for a Windows PC-and I'm including ALL competing products for Windows, both free and paid. PowerDVD, itself, is not a "bad" product. In my experience, this goes primarily to the way the company conducts its business and the poor way they support their products-but to be fair, all DRM-enabled media player software is complicated to support because of the wide variety of hardware it must run on.

All you have to do is read through their support forums to see that many users are unhappy with CyberLink. In fact, our dislike for them as a company is probably about the strongest for any company with whom we've conducted business. Yet we dislike the manufacturer, CyberLink, very much. For Windows software, we keep coming back to PowerDVD and we currently own two licenses. My wife and I are avid movie fans and we have way more blu-rays and DVDs than we'd care to admit. I've used a variety of stand-alone hardware blu-ray players and Windows blu-ray software to view DRM-protected HD movies over the past couple of decades. However, you may find a workaround for your version of PowerDVD if you search CyberLink's support forum. PowerDVD is the obvious and most popular choice and the question you need to ask CyberLink, its manufacturer, is: "Is my version of PowerDVD compatible with Win 10?" My guess is that it probably is not and you'll need to purchase an upgrade. To view DRM-protected content like a commercial movie, you need third-party playback software that has the necessary DRM capability. Microsoft Windows has never provided native support for DRM-protected blu-ray content and this has nothing to do with having or not having a suitable driver. In this case test to see if Win 10 recognizes the disc as a blu-ray disc and offers to allow you to burn files to it. If you don't have a disc containing non-DRM content and your blu-ray drive is a BD burner, you can also test with a blank recordable BD or BD+ disc. If it can view the folders and files on the disc, then your blu-ray drive is working fine under Win 10. If the test disc contains content, use the Windows explorer to read the disc. This means a commercial movie disc will not work as a test disc. To test whether or not your blu-ray drive is working properly under Win 10, you need to insert a blu-ray disc without DRM (digital rights management) content.

If forces upgraders to install Win 10 twice (first as an upgrade, second as a clean install) if they want a pristine trouble-free-as-possible installation.

Another misunderstood part is the way the free Win 10 upgrade works with respect to its lack of a product key.

The most often omitted part of the installation is installing the MSI drivers in the correct order. Most owners (and their friend-helpers) fail to do their homework and find out what is required. There are a lot of details to the above steps and I recommend you see my first post and 18th reply here for a full description. (5) install the MSI drivers in the exact order described by MSI.

(3) create external Win 10 installation media. Please clean up your language.Īn "ideal" upgrade to Win 10 will flow something like this with a GT-series MSI notebook: (1) upgrade to Win 10. Second, your characterization of PowerDVD as excrement is unfounded. First, your friend may be an IT expert, but that does NOT mean he'll know what to do with a high-end gaming notebook. There are a number of issues to address in your post. I"m also at work so I dont have the exact model number in front of me but I'll add it later. I tried seaching and didn't find anything that was specifically related to this, so if it's been answered before please point me in the right direction. Has anyone else run into this and found a solution?

They worked fine before the update to windows 10 (although the power DVD is a piece of crap, I hated using it, but it still worked). My buddy who helped me with all this (who is way more tech savvy than me, does IT for a living) tried a number of different players and the MSI website to try and get updated drivers but we haven't been able to figure anything out. However, when a friend helped me go through the upgrade to Windows 10, after I upgraded the powerDVD from 9 to 12 I try to play a blu ray and it tells me "the disc drive cannot recognize the media". Purchased a GT70 with the GTX780M back in 2013, computer has been absolutely fabulous with everything I've asked it to do, even more so when I added a 240gb ssd.
