I like ripping them but, to each their own. Not only is PowerDVD an unrivaled Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and DVD player, it also provides superior playback performance for movie and video files, including MKV, MP4, AVCHD, and XAVC-S. Only thing, you don't want to auto play them, you want to manually run them and that should work perfect. PowerDVD 15 Ultra PowerDVD is an all-purpose entertainment station, providing the ability to enjoy virtually any type of digital media. If you install 15, it adds a MCL, that just points to the PowerDVD.exe, PowerDVD runs as a full screen app, so it might be possible to rip the MCL from 15 and use on 17 (just the WMC files) but, personally, I think Re-Launch would be a better choice due to it fully exiting WMC before running the app. It will solve the problem (4K Blu-ray might be a problem due to DRM). I agree that ripping to ,mkv is a preferred solution but I still have a need to sometimes play BD Disks.I'm No longer using WMC now on Win 10 and Media Portal and since the demise of TMT, PowerDVD is the only game in town, hopefully 18 will be better. PowerDVD* has big problems playing 3D with Nvidia GPUs generally and with the Win 10 CFU. Very true just commenting that not all is well with 15 either. at least it SHOULD.Īnd if your Using WMC on Windows 7 (where this thread is), you cant take the WIn 10 fall creators update This will give exclusive access to HDMI to PowerDVD allowing for HD audio formats. With ReLaunch, it closes WMC and opens the app, hitting the green button will forces close the app and open WMC again. So if you were running 15, you don't get (it was very tricky to get running) HD audio formats, as it requires bitstreaming. WMC needs exclusive access to hardware, including sound cards/HDMI. ![]() The limits would be you would not get auto play in WMC, you would have to open powerDVD to play a bluray/4K Blu-ray (if your player supports it). The plugin is nothing special, you could do it with relaunch on 17. PowerDVD 15 is still working OK for me, except for 3D playback which stopped working after the Win 10 Fall Creators Update. ![]() 16 and 17 have a new full screen option which they describe as "TV" rather than "Cinema" but the WMC plugin part is gone. ![]() Joecrow wrote:No, the last version of PowerDVD with an WMC plugin was 15.
