Seeing how I legally own a Bluray player, and genuine Bluray discs, is there not any way I can manually update the AACS keys for PowerDVD myself? Their latest version of PowerDVD is $125, and Lord knows how long that would function for.! What's worse is that I purchased PowerDVD in November 2009, meaning I had less than 18 months of trouble free use(!). Having already spent the cost of a hardware Bluray player ($100+) for their software equivalent, you can imagine I'm pretty reticent about being forced to it again. Even though I've legally bought a Bluray player!Ĭyberlink's solution is to simply buy the latest version of their software. I can't watch Star Wars, I can't watch Indiana Jones, I can't watch Prometheus, I can't watch the new Criterion remaster of Seven Samurai. In my case, this means that many Blurays produced after May 2011 no longer work with my player. My legally purchased copy of PowerDVD is refusing to play Bluray discs made after a certain date:Īstonishingly, this is 'standard practice' for all versions of PowerDVD.
