Due to problems with cyberlink, see other threads I have decided to throw the towel in, and buy another player. powerdvd even causes my windows updates to fail! :rolleyes: In my case, to say its vista compatible is just laughing. Intervideo WIN DVD? Anyone experienced hitches with either powerdvd or intervideo under Vista?:help: The drive also spins up and down, suggesting mastering errors.
WinDVD 8 is meant to be horrible. Nero Showtime will playback HD-DVD/BD, but I've not used it.
Arcsoft's Total Media Theatre works well for me, you could give the trial of it a shot. Lots of people seems to have issues with it mind. See here for info:

HD DVD is dead now. You might as well get a blu ray only player, unless you have a few HD DVDs already.
EDIT - after a re-read, you're probably referring to software, but this still stands for anyone wanting the hardware i suppose.
HDDVD is dead for new releases, but it represents cheap prices for HD quality in the short term as everywhere sells off inventory.
