So, you said PowerDVD 7 on Windows (with AnyDVD), right?
I tried loading PowerDVD 7 on my MacBook, but no dice. It sees my GMA 950 and then refuses to run, even if AnyDVD is installed. The stupid part is that the CPU alone (Core Duo 2.0) should be fine for HD DVD decoding but PowerDVD 7 simply refuses to even try without a recent GPU. Why they are doing this I dunno, because they apparently support it fine in PowerDVD 6.5. The other ironic part is I know of people with the right GPU, but who have turned off GPU acceleration because of driver problems, yet it still works just fine. So this GPU requirement seems totally arbitrary. :|
I guess I'll just stick with my 360, but there are audio issues. Fortunately, they're supposedly fixed in the next HD DVD update for the 360.
