Chris & Ricker- I had a chance to play around with PowerDVD 11 codes for about 20 minutes last night. I got these codes to work on my HTPC.

1. Download- Playercorefactory.xml and PlayISO.bat
2. Make sure that the available VCD drive is enter in PlayISO.bat codes (the 1st line and 2nd line). I used "J" as my VCD drive in the code.
3. Make sure to change all the directories in Playercorefactory.xml to the correct directories on your HTPC.
4. If it is not yet set, you can set PowerDVD 11 to "play automatically upon insert disc" in PowerDVD 11 settings/player/advanced

If PowerDVD 11 don't playback automatically, you can simply click "play" button on PowerDVD 11 UI to start the movie "after VCD/AnyDVD do it things in the background".

Ok, these new files are working, when right-click iso >> open with >> PlayISIO.bat! When closing PowerDVD11, the iso stays mounted.

From within XBMC (10.1, MQ2 skin) when choosing the iso file, the same message is displayed that the image cant be mounted by VCD.
Also when looking at AnyDVD, and My Computer, there is no image mounted.

If it worked fine when playback BD ISO directly on PayISO.bat, it shoud work with XBMC. The ISO should stay mounted after each movie. When you start anohter ISO movie, it'll be un-mounted with the first line of the code and mount the new ISO movie with the second line of the code. I think that XBMC is mixed up somewhere. Can you try these steps-

-Rename XBMC folder <\AppData\Roaming> to XBMC_original
-Launch XBMC to generate a new XBMC folder in <\AppData\Roaming> folder, and close it afterward
-Move playercorefactory.xml and PlayISO.bat from XBMC_original to the new <\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata> folder
-Launch XBMC and try to playback the same movie again

Edit- I tried several BD ISO with the new playercorefactory and iso codes tonight. It un-mounted and mounted BD ISO and launched PowerDVD 11 and played movies automatically. I think it works as good as TMT5 on my HTPC. You need to replace (<args>"{1}" /fullscreen</args>) with (<args>"{1}"</args>). Here are playercorefactory.xml and playiso.bat again!

So this seems to work really good but on occasion a pop up will launch when switching to a different iso a box saying Koan dummy: No disc found in X.. so you can hit exit try again or continue. I hit continue and it launches pwpdvd and sometimes will play the movie or I have to go to the movie drop down selection and pick the movie and it plays fine. I can live with this. Not sure if the info I provided will help.
Thanks BluRay for your help.

I'm glad that you got it to playback BD ISO now. Sorry, I cannot create the error "Koan dummy" though. I tried several BD ISO, and it mounted BD ISO's and launched movies with PowerDVD 11 automatically every time. You can try to add 2 second delays in PlayISO.bat with the codes below:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 /u J:\nul

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Elaborate Bytes\VirtualCloneDrive\VCDMount.exe" /d=0 %*
ping -n 2 -w 1000 127.0.0.1 > nul

"C:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD11\PDVDLaunchPolicy.exe" J:\

Make sure that you do these in PowerDVD 11 settings:

I will do a rebuild of my HTPC next week (installing a 64GB SSD, and 6TB extra disc capacity). XBMC will be installed again, I think I''ll switch to v11 Beta3. Seems to work fine for a lot of people!

My XBMC needed some cleaning anyway... Smarter disc structure on the NAS and HTPC. Maybe I reached the limits of 10.1 with over 10k of movies...

I'm using Beta 3 with TMT5/PDVD11 now, and I'm very happy with it. Good luck on your HTPC, and you'll enjoy the bootup speed of SSD drive! Smile

is power dvd as an external player better than using xbmc to play blu ray content for both audio and visual quality?

i have an ati 7970 and a Yamaha htr 3063 reciever using hdmi lead to amp and then hdmi to tv.
