CyberLink PowerDVD Ultra 8 0 1531 + Update Patch 1622 rar torrent download



This is to play HD DVD i bought a combo bluray in HD DVD drive but couldn't play HD DVD with version 9 of powerdvd so this is how to play using either a pc drive or using your x box HD DVD drive worked perfectly for me- Lee








Please note that the instructions below only work with the original retail version of PowerDVD 8 Ultra (version 8.0.1531). There has since been several updates to PowerDVD, and testing shows that the HD DVD patch no longer works (the player exits just as playback is about to start).





The latest version of PowerDVD has been released. It brings a lot of new features, such as a movie collection manager and online interactivity. It also includes Blu-ray playback that will eventually support Profile 2.0 (BD-Live). Unfortunately for HD DVD users (as if the first few months of 2008 hasn't been disappointing enough), PowerDVD 8 Ultra removed HD DVD playback even though it was in PowerDVD 7 Ultra. Luckily, Cyberlink made sure that both PowerDVD 7 and 8 versions can be installed at the same time, so users with PowerDVD 7 Ultra can still use it for HD DVD playback.





That could be the end of the story right there, except chatter on forums indicated that a beta version of PowerDVD 8 did include HD DVD playback at one stage, and some experimentation later, it turns out the retail version of PowerDVD 8 Ultra can have HD DVD playback re-enabled. And this guide will show you how! Please note that you will need PowerDVD 8 Ultra - any other versions including the Deluxe version that doesn't already support Blu-ray playback won't work.





Software you'll need:





    * PowerDVD 8 Ultra 





Windows XP Instructions





The instructions are pretty easy, especially if you're familiar with registering filters, but I will go through it all here for those that don't know how. The instructions are for Windows XP, although they can be easily applied to Windows Vista. 64-bit Windows users will require separate instructions, and while they will be provided here, I cannot confirm that it works (since I don't have 64-bit Windows to test it out).





OK, the hardest part is to obtain the files you need. I've seen these files floating around forums and newsgroups, but the most easily downloadable place I've seen is here. Just go there and download the "powerdvd8ultra_hd-dvd.rar" file. There are instructions in the file, but I will expand them out in this guide.





Once you have downloaded the files, open it with WinRAR or any other compression software that supports RAR files.


WinRAR








Now locate where your copy of PowerDVD 8 Ultra has been installed. By default, on Windows XP, it should be in "C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDVD8".


PowerDVD 8 Install








Now extract the contents of "powerdvd8ultra_hd-dvd.rar" into where PowerDVD 8 is installed.


WinRAR








Several new files should now have been added to your PowerDVD folder - check to make sure they're in there.

Now that the files have been extracted, there is only one more thing you need to do, which is to register the "NavFilter\HDDVDNav.ax" file. To do this, press the Windows Key + R on your keyboard to open the run command dialog box (or press the "Start" button and select "Run"). Type in the following in the dialog box that opens:





regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Cyberlink\PowerDVD8\NavFilter\HDDVDNav.ax"





Make sure the quotes are in there, and replace "C:\Program Files\Cyberlink\PowerDVD8\" with something else if you installed PowerDVD 8 in another folder. Press the OK button to run the command, and if successful, you should get a prompt window telling you so.


Windows Run Command








RegSvr32 Successful








And that's pretty much it. Insert a HD DVD disc and PowerDVD 8 Ultra will now play it.

Vista 64 Instructions





If you have the 64-bit version of Windows Vista, then the instructions are slightly different. What you need to do is to extract all the files in the "NavFilter" folder (in the powerdvd8ultra_hd-dvd.rar file) to "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\NavFilter\".





Then, you need to extract the other files (deskband32.dll, hddvd_x.imp, and js32.dll) to "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\".





Finally, run regsvr32 as above on "C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD8\NavFilter\HDDVDNav.ax". This should do it.
