[QUOTE="iancalderban, post: 403842, member: 85629"] [b]bluray[/b] jumping to the present .. bought first ever blu-ray, bond quantum of solace. powerdvd8 told me it wanted an update as soon as I tried to play it. then when it had updated, h.264 stopped working in mediaportal...cue 4 hrs of googling and reading numerous forums. Seems h.264 support is broken (or possibly removed) in the latest builds of pdvd8. cue cursing and swearing, a 2 month stable MP setup broken by cyberlink. Anyway, after some more reading around, I now have the following solution - pdvd8 latest build installed for blu ray. With a plugin to switch to pdvd8 from MP, with a switch to 24p ati profile as well, all curtesy of the MP forums "HD starter" plugin. - pdvd9 trial version, installed on another pc, videofilters directory copied, cl264dec.ax and the dll's transferred to the htpc and manually regsvr32'd. This restores h.264 playback (which for me, is 99.9% BBCHD) in mediaportal. finally watched the bluray this evening - picture quality awesome. Lip-sync dire. Now I have to try to learn about lip-sync for blu-rays, reclock and the like. I have just about cracked this with mediaportal,using ac3filter's delay option, plus there is actually another feature hiding in mediaportal, you can set a delay during a tv prog by hitting info whilst watching it and scrolling to the speech bubble icon. but this isn't going to work for blu-ray, so more learning to do...
