Re: [hard drive] PowerDVD is using my HDD while playing Blu-ray

Which version of PowerDVD?

I play my disks off of copies to the hard drive. For some reason PowerDVD, both 12 and 13, artifacts heavily the first time the disk is played, either over the network (1GB wired) or on a drive in the machine playing. If I stop the disk and replay the artifacts go away. This is on my media machine, I haven't tried it on my machine yet.

I'd say that your hard drive indicator is going on to indicate the optical drive being accessed.

I use PowerDVD 12 and this never happens on DVD movies just Blu-ray movies only.
