What this means is we need to find key on the MCE remote PowerDVD doesn’t natively use. PowerDVD Ultra has support natively for many buttons on the MCE remote, because of this, any 3rd party remote mapping software won’t work properly. The nitty-gritty of the MCE remote and PowerDVD Ultra: So we need to make a button on the MCE remote trigger the Blu-ray in movie menu. Blu-ray menus don’t work this way with PowerDVD for some reason. Likewise, Warner and Paramount titles have a menu that slides up from the bottom, pressing the up arrow makes them slide up. With HD DVDs the menus simply pop-up when you hit the correct arrow button, so for example Univeral titles have a menu that slides out from the left side of the screen, so pushing the right arrow button makes the menu slide out.
Pressing the DVD Menu button on the MCE remote works, but it behaves like a legacy DVD which stops the movie and returns you to the main menu, which isn’t the point of having the advanced interactivity in Blu-ray and HD DVD. A huge annoyance is that oddly Cyberlink has chosen to have the Blu-ray in movie menu function (called "pop-up menu") set to use a totally different key combination then DVD or HD DVD, so we need to find a way to get Blu-ray menus to pop-up over the playing movie like we can with HD DVD. The second part gets harder, PowerDVD natively has some support for the MCE remote, however it doesn’t really have extensive enough support. There are both Vista and MCE 2005 versions available on his site here. The first part is very easy now thanks to Media Center community member ‘Armyb77’ (Mike), he has very nicely created an installer that registers PowerDVD with Media Center and creates a button to a launcher that opens PowerDVD in fullscreen mode and once PowerDVD quits it correctly returns to Media Center. Make the MCE remote work properly with Blu-ray pop-up menus.
ADVANCED MCE REMOTE MAPPER HOW TO
So you have a Blu-ray or HD DVD drive, and it comes with Power DVD, but how to make it integrate with Media Center? The process it two fold: 1.
