Good software besides PowerDVD for playing Blu-Rays?

Just got a new LG Blu-Ray ROM drive and a bundled copy of PowerDVD but it refuses to play the disc I have... it starts to load it, gets to 70%, then exits to desktop. Is there another good PC software Blu-Ray player I can look at that people can reccommend?

I use ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre

Ok I just tried the trial verison of Arcsoft and it did exactly the same thing... errored (appcrash) as it went to play the film. Is it possible I have a bad disc? It's a brand new copy of AvsP 2...

Graphics drivers?

Hmm recent Catalysts... i'll try downloading the latest and give them a whirl and report back.

Worth a go. I had problems with HD-DVD playback on an HD2600 AGP and that turned out to be driver related.

Woo-hoo it's now working... if you were here I would seriously sex you MagicBoy, in the most manly, non-homo way possible.
