    I recently purchased a Inspiron 1564 Core i5 with bluray. There was some issues with the Cyber Link player compatibility with some bluray discs. After talking to Dell and figuring out some ideas on my own. When starting PowerDVD and if it ask you to update, do it. It should update you to 8.3.1.6107. I have discovered that PowerDVD DX 8.3.1.6107 works best. Some discs like "Cars" or "Enchanted" will disengage the trackpad on the disc menu making it impossible to start the movie with the trackpad right click button. I found by scrolling over the option you want and just by pressing "ENTER" on the keyboard will start the disc. You can also use the keyboards arrows to navigate the menu. Once the disc is started, the trackpad buttons work fine.

    So far every DVD and Bluray has been playing fine. If you want to send the movie through HDMI to your Plasma/media amp, you need to go into the Windows 7 "personalization" then click "display" and click to "Projector only". "Duplicate display" is not supported by Power DVD. It does send 5.1 DolbyDigital and DTS audio as well through HDMI. Very nice.
