I am trying to watch a blu-ray movie with WinDVD 9. I just installed it after reformatting my system. There was some weird intervideo issue during installation but it looked like it installed alright.

I open up WinDVD and it loads the disc, then it says the AACS keys need to be updated, so I click yes, and it does nothing. I have tried many times without any luck. I have done it in the past many times, I have had this program on Windows 7 many times. Any ideas?

Is there a file I can get to reinstall intervideo, that might be the problem.

just use the same exe you used to install windvd9 or go to the add/remove programs part - click remove and it should give you an option to repair, or go to their site and see if there is an update there

No option to repair. I have tryed reinstalling it, same issue.

And it's not really an update to the program, its keys to make the blu-ray work.

*found the repair option, didn't do anything.

Removed, cleaned system and reinstalled 4 times now. No luck.

This makes no sense. The first time there was an issue when installing, but the last 3 times it installed without issue. So why won't it update the keys. Corel's site is useless for information as well.

Install windvd 9 again and then grab the update below, maybe it might help

Yea I already tried running that update, says can't install on the version I have. Mine is newer then it. Thanks.

Downloading a PowerDVD version for now, till I get a reply from Corel or until I find an answer.

Running the trail for PowerDVD9 and it crashed on me twice. WinDVD does that for me too. It's quite annoying. I know I don't have the best pc, but the software for blu-ray just plain sucks.

Glad I just use Nero Showtime as I have not had any issues with it in Win 7.

Dark Atheist

you tried installing it using vista or xp compatibility mode, and have you tried running it under those modes once it has installed ?

Bman

I haven't tried installing it in comp mode, but its running like that.

Though it shouldn't need too.


I thought WinDVD and PowerDVD were the only 2 players?

I went and got WinDVD 2010 "wink""wink"

And man is this software nice, all Windows 7 ready, looks beatiful with its transparent design and menus, its integrated into the taskbar, and when playing Blu-rays Aero is even enabled like I always wanted.

Nice!

I need something to play my HDDVD's as well :/

Does WinDVD not play them? I thought it did.

I just got rid of my last HDDVD (300)
