Yes, hopefully we can make it point back to MP instead of MCE..
My theory is it might be possible to replace the MCE executable with one that simply calls MP? Can't be sure until it is released though.
Or - maybe we should email Arcsoft and ask if theres a way to configure which app is called, maybe they will let us in on a regedit setting or something

I have said that even a registry modification or unsupported option would be acceptable!
I have not heard back from them yet.
I guess I will wait for the demo, and then download it and see what can be done...

A while back I read on TheGreenButton.com that Cyberlink has shown a plug for MCE, which does the same thing. Apparently available to OEMs only.
This may be a stupid question, but what is the reason one cannot use the HD-DVD or BR codecs from the PowerDVD player to play HD-DVD/BR within MP, with the aid of something like AnyDVD-HD?

Hi All
I have a workaround that some of you might like. It will mean that you cannot access the menus. But hey do we really care about silly java menus on a disk.
Here goes:
Locate Any DVD HD. Latest if you can. Install this program. It will remove any AACS from the Bluray disks you are using.
Install either Power DVD 7.3 ultra with the either build 2911 or above (if you have a ati uvd card or an nvidia 8xx0 series card) or the latest K-LITE Codec pack.
Install Hali Media splitter (Ar) version.
Use DSMgr to make the Direct Sub DS Filters to not be used. Make sure that the Power DVD H.264 and Audio filters are set to preferred.
Go into the Mediaportal config and make sure m2ts (this workaround is for bluray by the way) is a known file type. Make sure that the Audio decoder is Power DVD. Make sure that the H.264 video decoder is Power DVD. In the DS Filters settings make sure that EVR is enabled if you are using Vista, the audio is set to six speakers and that PDVD is set to HA HD content.
Now from media portal movies load a bluray disk. Navigate to the streams folder. Select the largest m2ts file. This will be movie. Launch. Ignore the error about a decoder. Now you can watch the full Bluray movie with out having to ever leave media portal.
