Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to go out and spend the $20 on the SATA to USB2 adaptor. It fixed most of my problems except the faulty drive that no longer read's the disks when they are put into the drive. Sometime's I have to eject and close 5 or 6 times before the drive will respond.
I'm RMA'ing it next week.
This message will self destruct in 20 seconds.
Good luck.

Yep, I figured since the Xbox HD-DVD drive worked ok over USB2 this would too. It did.

Oh, hell, that's not encouraging. This thing has got to last at least several years, to continue playing my obsolescing HD-DVD's.

Yeah, but as always if there's one bad one in a bunch I'll end up with it.

If AR would stop trying to load his 45RPM records it might last longer. 
RMA as in Return and replace or simply return and throw in the towel.

Have you seen my HTPC thread? I don't give up. I just get annoyed and spend more money on the son' bitch.

well. i got a sata- usb cable and hooked it up. the cable and conversion workes fine. however i still have problems with playback  . it is very choppy and 2 seconds in the time line take 6 seconds. i dont believe its because i am using on board video because even normal dvd playback is the same way. the drive below it wich is a 8164b plays back smooth (on reg DVD)...... any ideas? im gonna try to put it back into my other computer and test on both the sata and the usb.

I be sure you are using the latest video and sound driver you can find. You might list your hardware and what version of Windows.

What video card chipset and what resolution are you trying to run? I know my on board Geforce 6150 couldn't do over 1280x720 with out stuttering.

the chipset is an amd 590 and its being run through the VGA at 1920x1080p60hz off the onboard x1250 (becasue the HDMI doesent do HDCP and the dvi is retarded) on a westinghouse LVM42-w2
normal dvds play at that res through my 8164b just fine and so does unprotected HD video off the hard disk. my only guess is that its some kind of software problem maby?
any type of video through the h20l f's up
i am useing power DVD 7.3 something whatever one was posted a few pages back.

I don't know if this is helpful, but I reverted to 3319a a bit ago to play a BD+ title, and since then had been noticing a bit of stuttering and audio pops on a number of discs. When I re-upgraded last night the problem went away.
Nothing on the level of the trouble you are describing, but patching to the latest version might be worth a try if you are out of other ideas.

Watched Blu-ray of "Gone Baby Gone" what a twisted plot! it played flawless on the drive.
First full movie since I picked up a "new to me" pre-amp connected via the analog out on the HTPC, it sounded good. I have no idea what format it was but gun shots sounded scary great range considering a PC audio card I need to do an A/B comparison between analog and SPDIF. I looked into the audio calibration Vista has, it seems very cool but I need to get a microphone for it to work.

How many of you spent more time watching HD DVD and or Blu-ray movies than spending time installing and configuring this drive, and this includes buying, returning activities, too.

My hands up. I've watched all my movies except one. I also watched a couple of rentals too.

Me too, lately I have been just using it as just a HD-DVD/Blu-ray player so I keep PowerDVD maximized at all times. Just pop disks in and out like a STB, I am actually amazed at how robust it is.
