Media Center - support Blu - ray?

After getting a new media center PC with a disc blu - ray nice integrated, I am appalled by the lack of support media center or other software third party has to blu - ray on a PC.

Power DVD supplied with the blu - ray player is shockingly bad and unfit for use. Place a disc in the player leaves the center of media and load Power DVD. And from there I can't do anything, the MCE Remote control cannot control Power DVD. After fiddling around with the keyboard and mouse, sometimes I can get a movie to play, and sometimes I can't.

I downloaded demo of the Arcsoft TMT, and on the surface, the integration of MCE seemed promising. However, the first use that you realize that does almost the same thing as Power DVD, only he launches an application that "looks like" MCE. At least he recognizes the MCE Remote control.

There are still problems with Arcsoft TMT. I can watch half a movie, go to bed without even removing the disc from the drive, try to resume the movie in the morning and be informed that it is impossible to read the disc (or any other blu - ray disc). Not until I reboot the PC I can play another blu - ray.

With the bugs described above, I am not willing to pay $ 100 for a software that does not work and costs more than the drive itself. Power DVD is not much better either, you can buy the premium edition, but still no media center support.

When Microsoft will support blu - ray in media center? I realize they have supported HD DVD, but this format is dead now (you can't buy movies on this format) they should think of this support. So much for the "ultimate" editions, it seems that their biggest problem is that they do not want to give Sony royalties. So why not release a plugin $15 which provides this support?

Looks like it will be cheaper and more reliable to buy a separate blu - ray player, so for media center.

Does anyone know of a properly integrated MCE plugin that doesn't cost the Earth?

Hello

Same problem here.

The cheapest solution (= zero $) is this freeware standalone player:

  • Windows Media Center supports on my computer?

    I was listening to Windows Media Player today everything by doing household chores and he kept a break. Norton, said he was using 100% of CPU. So I searched for a way to solve this problem, but could not. So I went on the Windows site and seen that there is a Media Player 12 on and maybe thought mine needed to be updated so I tried to download the program. I have no idea of what I did, but now the Media Center replaced most or all programs on my desktop computer. I closed everything and shut down my computer, but as soon as I start again, Media Center opens and "resumes". I x out of it and it opens a new window immediately. I put it at the bottom of the screen so I can see my desktop and as soon as I click on any program he refers to Media Center. The symbols have been replaced by the symbol of Media Center, including Internet Explorer, so I can't even online with my office (I write from my laptop). I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my desk and I have the free version of Norton of the century link. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you for all your help with this problem. It turns out that I had a virus in my computer's registry, so it would open before even the windows open. I took it to my computer guy and he pulled.

  • Desktop.ini drop-in DIFFICULTY PERMANENT advice of recordable media (CD/DVD/blue ray burner)

    I am using windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit with the last update for now,

    (UPDATED with CORRECTION)

    "desktop.ini" with detail files [.] [ShellClassInfo]... shell32.dll,-21815 will no longer appear when a writable media in the drive.

    I suspect that it was abnormal and error of windows system, the first time I run the PC after reformatting and restoring, there was no such desktop.ini in the recordable media. I notice it start up after microsoft windows LIVE essential and games for windows LIVE installation.

    I have made many try hard but he still see the intermittently. even with security update and latest ms windows, updates essential...

    first step, type "regedit" in start search, to run the registry editor program.

    then go to the Edit menu, and then search FOR "shell32.dll,-21815", in:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions\ {...}

    check with "shell32.dll,-21815" and the relative path "Microsoft\Windows\burn\burn."

    If so found,

    Export the registry and save it as burner.reg. then,

    only remove the "localizedname' and the 'attributes' and keep the rest.  (CORRECTION)

    then FIND 'Windows\Burn\', look for this register with the address "c:\user\...\AppData\...". Microsoft\Windows\burn\burn' or

    "Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn", or

    "c:\user\...\AppData\...". File Microsoft\Windows\burn\temporary to burn' Rename 'c:\user\...\AppData\... '. Microsoft\Windows\burn\burn,"

    "Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Temporary Burn Folder" rename it to "Microsoft\Windows\Burn\Burn".

    ensure that it was 'Microsoft\Windows\burn\burn', look after pressing F3 keyboard will repeat the same task...

    Close regedit.

    THEN go to the \AppData\local\microsoft\windows\burn C:\user\(your user account), delete the folder "burn" or "temporary burn folder" or both if available.

    Then make a new folder name 'burn '. , restart the computer, note start the computer to the top of windows significantly faster...

    FINISHING WORK, SOLVE it... the desktop.ini will never appear in the recordable media player. all normal, can burn the recordable, the file to be burn save temporary burn folder will delete automatically after burning, everything as usual, no error.

    (CORRECTION)

    I suspect the the desktop.ini performed from the Games for Windows LIVE search software keep for any PC games in the hard drive and remove-able, perhaps from this, the computer run more slowly than the condition of freshly reformatted / PC Restore. It acts like a virus that prevents the monitor and look for any PC games... and record them in the registry.

    After of many trials/try, I noticed the access special setting by clicking with the right button on the optical drive for assets, the menu "registration", the parameters cannot be change and save/apply.

    (eject the disc after burning master, temporary folder except location,...)

    I found the solution, to keep the registry than the note above for deletion to:

    Restart the PC, everything should be normal. Settings menu for registration in the optical drive capital can be adjust and apply / save, desktop.ini nomore see in the optical drive

  • Windows Media Center will not be updated to allow the Blu Ray

    Hello

    I have an Acer laptop that supports Blu Ray disc, but when I go to play with Windows Media Center there is a pop up that says that "an essential element must be updated", but whenever I click "update", it tells me that my internet connection is not working it may not update. I checked and there is nothing wrong with my internet connection and library still refuses to update. Is there a way to force it to update? Or another program that will support the Blu Ray?
    Thank you
    Kerryn
    There is no native support in Windows for the Blu - Ray, including Media Center. You
    need a third-party Blu Ray player. What Blue Ray software supplied with your
    computer? It works as a standalone program?

    Regarding your request if Windows 7 can support BD read heres an extract "Microsoft doesn't want of reading support Blu - ray natively on Windows 7. It only supports recording on blank Blu - ray disc media.

    "Support Blu - ray (reading) will be sent by the manufacturers of PC or BD player manufacturers. We have new extensibility in media center for those reading of comics to take in charge the built-in reading. We have no support for the BD data disc burning,"said Steven Sinofsky, senior vice president of windows and windows live engineering group at Microsoft, in a statement released by the Windows 7 Center website. »

    Unfortunately, as in Windows 7 there no Blu - ray for the WMC or WMP support in Windows 8 PRO either. You need a separate application for playing Blu Ray.

He plans to give me the blu ray drive and the ram so I can upgrade my laptop. I have a HP Pavilion 1035dx m6 and I was wondering if it would support blu ray and the optical drive from dv7 my friend will fit in my m6.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs. You can search online by using your favorite search engine to get it.
