yea....region a is sea

but is ur bluray rom region a as well?

Make sure you are using PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D and not any other PowerDVD 10, the rest doesn't play Blu-ray, only the Ultra version play Blu-ray. I prefer ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre though.

1. What version of Power DVD Ultra 3D you are on?
2. Is this a cracked version or the trial version?
3. What OS you are on?
4. Do you have the correct codec pack installed?

check current bd drive region using nero drive tool

Ok, that's weird. What's your Blu-ray ROM model. Did you patch the firmware recently?

I had the similar problem, where i patched the firmware by mistake and i got the similar error. I had to return the drive to the shop and they changed it for me with some excuse given. Are you playing an original Blu-ray disc?

If so, what movie you're trying to load? I'm pretty sure that your BDROM plugged to SATA slot?. Let me see if i can help you on this.

Yep, it does for better optimization of your video playback. Ok, do one thing. Completely uninstall your current PowerDVD Ultra 3D version 10. Go and download and utmost latest release of PowerDVD (make sure they include the latest patch). Clean your registry of any relating to PowerDVD extensions and System file.

Retain your Win7 Codec pack. I assume you installed both 32bit client & 64bit add-on?. Do a clean install of PowerDVD again.

Make sure the following

1. Graphic driver up-to-date
2. Resolution set to 1920x1080 on your GC setting. Set all your default video setting to follow GC setting not player settings.
3. Refresh rate 59-60hz. (59 better)
4. Un-tick all unnecessary applications and processes running at background.
5. You will find a file called BD Region reset in the PowerDVD Ultra 3D package.
6. Make sure you disable all the unnecessary functions on PowerDVD , like Moovie Live , Auto update etc.
7. Make sure BD-J support is enabled. (For BD menu)
8. Set your default Region code to A. Do not change it to other Region.

Let me know later once you done all this. And try not to straight away play any BD. Run a test on your GC and Display.

Hope this helps you and i will try to figure out the actual issue and respond to you.

Hi sniper,

If PowerDVD refuses to play the BD, try other client like WinDVD Pro, ArcSoft etc. Another thing is if there's an issue with codec compatibility , you might not be able to perform Blu-ray playback.

Windows 7 Build 7068 has a fix for Blu-ray playback. Check your OS build and post it here what you have tried thus far.

Go to http://forum.dvdfab.com/showthread.php?t=10099 and download the trial version of DVDFab Passkey. Install it, then restart your computer.

After that, insert your Blu-ray into your drive, let Passkey decrypt it, and then try using PowerDVD to play the movie.

That software bypass all protection in a blu-ray disc such as the AACS key and region coding, seems like you are having problem with AACS key in your blu-ray movie. I am guessing that your software is not updated for the new AACS key in Salt. You might want to try out some older blu-ray title, borrow from friend or something and see if it can play without using DVDFab Passkey

Dunno really. Try downloading the BD advisor at http://www.cyberlink.com/prog/bd-support/diagnosis.do and post its results here. Make sure DVDFab Passkey isn't loaded when you do this.

By software I mean DVDFab passkey, try playing some older blu-ray title without it running, if it can play than most probably your problem is your blu-ray player (powerdvd) is not updated for the latest AACS key

I am not sure about this but I don't think blu-ray playback required external codec, all you need is your blu-ray software, everything you need to decode blu-ray movie is built into it
