PowerDVD 8 with Patch (http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/PowerDVD_8_Ultra_Enable_HD_DVD_page1.html)

Bad thing is that you can't update the software since that'll cause the patch to stop working. :thumbdwn:

You should also check out ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre (http://www.arcsoft.com/products/totalmediatheatre/index.asp) and WinDvd 9 Plus Blu-Ray (http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1189528458632#versionTabview=tab0&tabview=tab0)

Just bought ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre, I think it's cheapest of all ($55.99 using coupon on the online shop), download is around 50 mb. Installed and it's working fine, tried both HD-DVD (Batman Begins) and BluRay (Predator), I think PowerDVD and WinDVD have removed HD-DVD support, so this one is a keeper for me (got some HD-DVD movies including Matrix trilogy). Tried SPDIF out and works with both DD and DTS tracks.

BTW it looks like the problems this program had with 64bit software have been solved, it works great under Vista x64.
