I tried uninstalling the codec pack and installed Vista Codec Pack instead. Sometimes the audio would work in MPC and not in PowerDVD. I had the most frustrating, inexplicable, and sporadic issues related to lack of video or audio when trying to play. I later added Lite-On Blu-ray drive and installed PowerDVD 7 and later 8. I also initially installed a codec pack (Community Codec Pack, I believe). I immediately threw onto it everything that I had on my desktop computer (Nero, Photoshop, video editing programs). m2ts or straight from disc: FORMAT AND START OVER!

I have a broad suggestion for anyone experiencing Blu-ray playback issues, whether they be from. I'll update this as I remember other steps that I took to try to remedy this. Also, the PowerDVD "Blu-ray advisor" thing shows all green. It's even present when I try to play a BD ISO that I made with Anydvd. The problem persists throughout all trouble-shooting steps, on all discs and on both formats. Trying different power-on steps such as TV on then HTPC, HTPC then TV, etc. This includes un-installing and re-installing them all. Several different players, including Pdvd, TotalMedia Theater, and Windvd, all with the same result. Here are the things that I've tried with no success: My suspicions have turned to some sort of codec like problem since it affects all players, but I can't think of anything that changed.ĪTI Radeon HD 4670 PCIe through a DVI to HDMI adapter to HDMI port on my Samsung 32 inch flatscreen. After that, everything ran fine for weeks. I had bought the drive and was able to play both blu-ray and HD, but there was stutterring so I updated the vid card to the 4670.

The really odd thing is that it worked before, and then just stopped. Also, the overlays are shown (Play, Scenes, etc.), but not the video behind it. When I play a blu-ray or HD-DVD disc, I get audio but no video. I have a problem that has been giving me fits for a couple of weeks now.
