WinDVD Pro is supposed to support the use of the mouse on Blu-rays with BD-J menus through Mouse Simulation. I believe there is a setting in WinDVD setup for this feature.

I'll have to look.  Maybe  the lack is a feature of my version being a "Toshiba" version.
Bad movie?  You're soaking in it!

I just got an External Slim Blu-ray Disc Combo ASUA SBC-06D1S-U and one some of the movies on Blu-ray i got this messeds.
The menu for this BD-J content does not support the use of a mouse.
what to do. Get a new External blue-ray player with remote control. ?


It's not a problem with your Blu-ray Drive, it's the software you're using to play the Blu-rays. I believe your drive came bundled with PowerDVD which does not support Java Menus. You get that message because the menus on the Blu-ray you're playing are encoded in Java.

yes its poverDVD 9 i got with the Blue-ray player what program are a god program to bye to get it to work with the mouse.?

Here TotalMedia is the better choice, it costs a bit more, but has less problems with slower PCs. I just recently changed from PowerDVD to TotalMedia, because PowerDVD had severe problems with new Blu-Rays (e.g. StarWars) on my HTPC.


I'm thinking of switching to a different software because of PowerDVD's problems also.  I recently took them up on their 50% off PowerDVD 11 offer.  When I put Star Wars in (the reason I upgraded in the first place, because version 9 couldn't play SW) I was told it wouldn't play on my 1-year-old computer because I didn't have an "HDMI output". What??  Well, I got that money refunded and am back to no-Star Wars-playing version 9.  I have a widescreen LCD monitor that plays other BD's just fine.  Do you like TotalMedia?  Is it a good choice/value?  What version do you have?


I'm confused as to why your Star Wars Blu-rays won't play with PowerDVD 9 . I have PowerDVD 9 and all of the Star Wars Blu-ray discs play just fine on my Acer Aspire 8730 laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.

Perhaps it's your PC. If either your PC's graphics card or monitor isn't HDCP compliant then you won't be able to play Blu-rays on it.


I can play every Blu I have on my PC except for Star Wars and a couple other new Blu's.
My one wish for the DVD Profiler online database: Ban or remove the disc-level profiles of TV season sets. It completely screws up/inflates the CLT.
FACT: Imdb is WRONG 70% of the time! Misspelled cast, incomplete cast, wrong cast/crew roles. So for those who want DVD Profiler to be "as perfect as Imdb", good luck with that.
Stop adding UNIT crew! They're invalid credits. Stop it!

Hmmm...could be because of BD-J. I've read on the PowerDVD forums that some users have problems playing the Star Wars discs. Odd that with PowerDVD 9 I didn't have that problem. I just upgraded to PowerDVD 11 yesterday...they had a great offer of 50% off and I got it for $39.99. It still can't use the mouse on Blu-ray discs with Java menus but at least they now have a Mouse Simulation and PDVD Remote for iPhone/iPod Touch that works pretty well.
