    If you want also to change the refreshrate automatically to 24Hz, download this app:
    Display Changer :: 12noon

    Use following settings in MovingPictures:

    Executable: C:\Path to\dc.exe
    Command-line arguments: -refresh=24 "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\PowerDVD8.exe" "%filename%"

    When you start now a bluray in mp, displaychanger changes the refreshrate to 24Hz and opens PDVD with the assigned filename.
    If you close PDVD the refreshrate will be changed to the default one.

    I can add another variable (%framerate%) that will be set to the framerate but only when we have mediainfo or equivalent information available to our plugin (which we currently don't have). Also I would expect the BR/HD-DVD software to have such a feature already but apparently that is not the case. Remember that this feature is kinda of a stop-gap solution until the mediaportal core will handle these files in the future (or provide the configuration for an external player for BR/HD-DVD) and will likely dissappear when that is the case.

    I wouldn't hold my breath for such feature, no open source video player is currently supporting blu-ray playback.

    i didn't that's why we have this feature. Surely some solution will present itself eventually (like external player for BR?) :)

    Hey armandp,
    is %framerate% already supported by the latest version of moving pictures?
    If so, where I change this attribute manually (without using a sql viewer).

    Because there are problems by viewing Blu Ray Documentations (mostly 50Hz) with global defined 24Hz.

    I have problem playing bluray with Vista 64. I never had problem with XP SP3. Today I tried to play one bluray (from my harddisk) in my Vista computer, TMT is activated but no movie played.

    I just did a complete reinstall vista 64 , Total Media Theater, Media Portal and Moving Pictures but the problem still persisted. Any idea?

    MP1 MP2 MP2 - V2.5 Trailer plugin DE
    Maybe the wording “plugin” is misleading, because almost every feature in MP2 is basically a plugin. This allows to even exchange core elements easily. Short: Of course it can be also a feature as part of the installer, means integrated for the user.
