 New player...
Just picked up an OEM Pioneer blu-ray/HDDVD combo drive from ebuyer.
No software with it, but did get PowerDVD 7, which is supposed to support BD playback, with the a soundcard. Will try it and post back with results.
[edit] Doesn't work with just k-lite codec pack + nvidia pure video - not that I was expecting it to. Next try...
[edit 2] Got to get rid of a weird pink effect when running over HDMI before I try anything else. A quick google suggests its a colour space problem, but need to get into the enginers menu or get catalyst control centre working properly as there is no DVI port on this ATi x1650 pro.
[edit 3] Replaced the x1650 with a low profile nvidia 8400 by XFX with DVI to HDMI adapter, pink colour gone. Tried PowerDVD 7, but no HD playback on the OEM version. Apparently WinDVD 9 with Blu-Ray will sort me out. Will post back when tested.
[edit 4] Need to reformat the HTPC, keeps freezing up.
[edit 5] Installed Vista Home Premium and Nero 8 with the blu-ray plugin, but there is no HDCP on this 8400. Will have to try the x1650 again under Vista...
