I didn't vote...because I've had bad luck with all, I rip everything to an MKV and watch it with MPC-HC...Bought a retail version of PDVD 7 & 9 and TMT 2, it was so bad there was no-way I would pay for an upgrade. All I would rate from terrible to useless.

What Mike said. It's all crap IMHO.
I use MPC-HC and rip to MKV.
Best option I have used and free to boot.........

I've been using PowerDVD 7.3 without issue for a long time....don't know why so many people have problems with it.

Was not a problem running the software for me. I just did not like it and prefer MPC-HC. I have used just the PDVD 9 an 10 decoder though, It is integrated with Media portal via the SAF codec plug-in...

I couldn't even get PDVD 7.3 to install in Windows 7. Your also stuck with downsampled HD audio. Chris, your also ripping to ISO's are you not? In many cases the problems with PDVD can be traced back to disk encryption. Using AnyDVD in the backgrould can probably solve many issues.

Correct, I rip the main movie to ISO with AnyDVD running in the background. Also I'm still running Vista....my BD Drive isn't compatible with Windows 7. As for down-sampled audio....I highly doubt you could tell the difference in a double blind test, also most content is still in 16bit anyways....
Chris.
