Problem With Cyberlink Powerdvd

Post by King_Nothing »

Hello all, I have never had any problems with this program before. But all of a sudden out of the blue, for some reason whenever I goto play DVD files or DVD's with CyberLink PowerDVD 5.0, the screen is totally black. I can hear the sound, and the video will sometimes flicker, but overall, it can't play those files anymore. It is a version that came bundled with my burner, so it is not pirated software. I have not made any significant changes to my system in anyway that would effect it. VLC Player will play them with no problems. Has anyone else had this problem before? Or any recommendations for a better//similar player that is free? Thanks in advance!

I have sometimes the same problem. It usually happens when I switch between menues etc. too fast or close the program in a wrong way. The problem has never been permanent for me. When I eject the dvd and put it in again it usually works fine.

Could it's codecs have been overwritten by another software install?

I have a problem with my powerdvd right now too! I went out and got the newest Klite codec pack and I think I probably did overwrite the codecs, but there's not an uninstall for it.

What about reinstalling Powerdvd would that fix it?

And actually I have the Klite mega codec pack and Powerdvd still works! :unsure:

Nah mate I've never gotten that - the only time I've had black screens while playing dvds is before the video codec is installed, like after you've formatted and haven't installed powerdvd yet. :unsure:

It must be a codec issue just try reinstalling everything I think!

This is very odd, I have re-installed as well, and to no avail. I have not installed any new codecs recently either. I think it is just a crappy program after a while lol. Last time this program gave me a problem, it was that it could not run DVDs in full screen without lagging. And to fix that I had to re-format my old cpu, it worked like a charm and then bang, one day it all fell to hell for some reason. :sneak:
