Here's the story in brief, I have a BD player in the PC, I bought P-DVD Ultra 7 at the time to play movies. It is patched up to date, and has worked fine.

This morning I thought I would try the latest copy of T2, Skynet edition, Guess what, won't play, need an update.....

BUT, looks V7 is no longer being patched, as Version 8 and 9 have since come out....... Oh look, I can have an "upgrade"..... but still they want about 40 quid, for something I have already paid for once !
I don't need extra features, just want to watch the basic movie.....what sort of "standard" is this if every few months you have to buy updates just to watch a film !?!?!?..........

Can I get anything better/free or do I have to become a victim of the system and pay the 40 quid upgrade ?
 
It gets worse, Ver9 release1501 worked, (borrowed from a friend !!!) but a patch was available, updated it to latest 2029, Now it doesn't work anymore.... Installing and going back to 1501 now doesn't work either..... So if I had of paid for the update, I would still not of had a working player...... complete toilet !..... Now downloading the trial from ArcSoft, cheers for the suggestion. Sorry to say Cyberlink have lost my custom.
 
I don't mind paying for major updates, where i am after extra function and feature, BUT NOT to simple make it work, ie play the film. If some of the new features didn't work, but the film did, that would be my choice.
To be frank, this will hurt them more than me, as is it any surprise P2P sites are so popular !!!!... I'll pay for what works, I won't for rubbish and a con that doesn't......
Software isn't free, nor is loyalty !!!!.think that makes it 1-1......Rant over.
