I've obtained 2 versions of creative mediasource, both of which would not recognize dvd discs at all. I got the feeling it was only a cd player. I've yet to find a version that will do dvd-a.
AFAIK you need the Deluxe (or Ultra) version of PowerDVD to play DVD-A (MPL).PowerDVD version 7.3 will playback [..] surround DVD-A discs without downsampling.

My PowerDVD (which I just updated with a "mandatory" update) still plays DVD-Audios.
How do you find the "build" number. When I go to ABOUT, all it says is "PoweDVD 7.3(Ultra)"

Other forums speak of this and say there is no way around it.
The few people in this thread that claim they've gotten it to work are the only people in the world that have as far as I know. Because as far as anyone else knows, there is NO way to get powerdvd to work with dvd-a.
edit: Hey George....beat me to it my a minute!!!
ps one of the features being discussed regarding powerdvd and build numbers is the ability to playback watermarked copies of dvd-a.
Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your information. I saw Jon's post and noticed you were not online so answered per your instructions.
I copied two tracks from ELP BSS onto a DVD-RW and ran a test. Played with flying colors in surround at 96K.
Have you found bit depth displayed anywhere?
And, by some chance, it plays it as a dvd-a. However, it tries to play the 96kHz as 48, without downsampling. Yeah....great programming, forget whatever the sampling rate is, just throw whatever crap out the speaker you can.
Not if you are trying to play SACD you don't. At least some are actually trying to sort DVD-A playback. Maybe not that well, but at least there is effort to do so. Unlike the usual complete lack of it from Sony.I guess that would be too much to ask for. As a consumer, I have no rights, not even to play the discs that I pay my hard earned money for.
