Apparently has something against PowerDVD 8 movies in Matroska containers (avi - files) on the hard disk, for both drag and drop, as well as manually adding to the playlist will be ignored completely.
Against this "protective measure" simply helps a simple renaming the file in eg "Movie.avi" and Power DVD is the version used by me (8.0.2217) no more problems.
Well be apparent to a legal problem which has forced the developers to incorporate the protection.
Thanks for the tip!
Funzt actually - such a weak sense:) Was it just convert the mkv-container ...
Me too;)
With me is the net
Even in the most recent version, it still works, so the error must have a different reason.
I'm going for a missing codec.
The installation of the K-Lite codec pack should solve the problem.
I've also tried it today again. On a computer where it goes, but apparently no hardware acceleration is used (ATI 1950XTX). Since even more codecs are installed so that it can be good here the PowerDVD uses the CoreAVC.
On the second PC (Vista 32-bit) with 780G chipset, which only XviD 1.2.1 and PowerDVD 8 Deluxe is on it (including the 2217er update) I get an error message (80040265). The files are not on the local disk (no space - is only a test installation) but on a drive connected via eSATA. The error message tends towards UNC paths when looking at Google.
I can test again if only because it would work via USB.
