    Hello
    I'm currently having an issue with Acer Arcade Deluxe's Play Movie with one particular movie. Whenever I put this HD DVD in and try to play it, it says it needs an update but i click to update it and then nothing. Also using PowerDVD is not an option for me. I'm just wondering if there really is an update or the software is being wonky as usual. Thanks for any help.

    I've had this problem before and all these stupid updates did not help. This is because new HDDVD use new secutity protocol and HDDVD playback software manufacures are a bit slow to come up with proper updates. Download the latest version of AnyDVDHD from Slysoft and run it in the background. It should resolve your problem.
