I apologize if this is old information that everyone else already knew, but it has come as a nasty surprise to me.
I will be writing to the manufacturers as well to demand an answer - and will post their reply here.
We all know InterVideo's WinDVD 6 Platinum was perhaps the first decent software DVD-A player, using the Creative Lies Fraudigy plugin to get DVD-A in 24/96 Multichannel on the desktop.
Well, we also all know that it was recently updated to version 7.
Word of warning to all:
DO NOT UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION.
It is hobbled!
There is a list of DVD-A it will not play, and I am trying to find out just what discs are included on this list.
I know for a fact it will not spin uo Donald Fagen's Kamakiriad at all, despite the same disc playing perfectly in version 6.
Bowie's Live albums half-work.
Most of the early Warner titles do not seem to work, yet will work in version 6.
ALL Home-Authored Hybrids (Audio_TS & Video_TS) created with discWelder CHROME will not spin up properly in the Audio_TS, but will open in Video_TS.
Sonic's DVD-Audio Creator authored hybrids work properly.
I have my suspicions about what has happened, but will not post these until I get evidence.
So - if anyone has the time to do this, will they download the trial version of this & see what DVD-A titles it will - and will not - play, and please tell me your findings?
