Well SVP doesn't come right out and recommend Potplayer, but I assumed this since SVP provides instruction from this link.

Do what you want, all I did was give instructions that worked for me _ you seemed like you needed help with your Blu-ray.

And you're welcome, it took quite a little while to type all that out, take screen shots, edit them with Windows Paint, upload them to Photobucket and load them here.

Sorry, I wasn't quite clear in one of my questions _ I meant what Blu-ray player are you using to watch your Blu-ray movies with (if any), eg. Cyberlink Power DVD 13 or Arcsoft 6. Those you have to pay for; there are free ones, but they are un-licensed players which means that you have to remove the copy protection from the Blu-ray disc before they will play on un-licensed players. Examples of those are XBMC and MPC-HC video player. Some say they can get a Blu-ray to play with MPC-HC, but it never really worked that well for me _ the sound would cut in and out and sometimes it wouldn't even load the disc.

The instructions below are for Windows 7.

However SVP recommends Daum PotPlayer and in the full install it also installs MPC-HC, but for my little tutorial here we'll use Potplayer as that worked for me once I finally figured it out.

Install Potplayer from this link.

http://www.videohelp.com/download/PotPl … .40688.EXE (Make sure and use the 32 bit version only)

Then go here and install the full version of SVP with all the extras.

http://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Download (use the direct download from SVP {32 MB})

After everything installs re-start you computer.

Go here and follow the screen shots and instructions to set up SVP.

http://www.svp-team.com/wiki/Daum_PotPlayer_with_DXVA

You have a 64 bit OS so you have to use the 4GB patch. To do this go to "All Programs" > SVP 3.1 > Utilities > Click on "4GB Patch and a window will open.
In that Window navigate to "Computer" > Local Disc (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Daum > Potplayer >PotPlayerMini  (or PotPlayerMini.exe).
A "Click OK" window will pop up _ Then "Click OK"

That takes care of setting up SVP, now you have to prepare the Blu-ray so it will play in Potplayer, the Blu-ray disc itself will not play directly unless it's converted to a MKV file container. At least this is the only way I could get it to work for me.

Go to MakeMKV and install version 1.8.6 for Windows.

http://www.makemkv.com/download/

MakeMKV has decryption software to remove the AACS code so MakeMKV can create files, with out any decryption software it won't work. You can also use Any DVDHD, but for now use the function in "MakeMKV"

Open MakeMKV, load your Blu-ray (2D version only) and let it scan. Do what you see in the screen shots and save the MKV file of your movie (I used the 2D version of Avatar in this case) to where ever you like _ it also helps to create a folder with the movie name so you can tell Potplayer where to find it when the time comes.

In my case I chose the biggest file of 41.8 GB (that's the movie), DTS-HD Lossless English and Forced Subtitles. You may choose what ever language, but for Avatar you need to choose forced subtitles.
Select your output folder that you created earlier and start the process by click on the "Make MKV" box in the upper right hand corner _ this will take around an hour.

Now go to "All Programs" > SVP 3.1 > SVP Manager and left click on that.

Go to your tool bar and click on the "Show Hidden Icons" arrow in the tool bar. (I have mine hidden)

Right click on the SVP Manager Icon and a list will come up. At the top of the list find "Video Profiles". Mouse over "Video Profiles" and click on "Reset To Defaults" and a new window will open _ SVP will choose a pre-defined rendering method _ with your set up it probably choose level 5C or 5G, depending on whether or not which is stronger your CPU or GPU. I am guessing that it will choose 5C.

Now, open Potplayer and right click on the blue screen and choose "Open Files" at the top of the list. Go to your saved movie that you created earlier with Make MKV and click on it and it should begin to play with SVP.

After all this I hope it works. 

If you have a licensed player like Arcsoft TMT 6 then you don't need to create MKV files of your Blu-ray movie, but I don't how to make SVP work with TMT 6 or any licensed player for that matter.
So far the above method is the only way I know how to play a Blu-ray with SVP, feel free to experiment with MPC-HC or any thing else.

Yes, once AnyDVD HD removes the AACS code somewhere along the way MPC-HC will play the biggest stream file.

Unless something has changed _ personally I could never could get MPC-HC to consistently play Blu-ray disc files _ with or with out AnyDVD HD.

I am working on that right now, so far I have only gotten it to work converting the Blu-ray playlists to MKV files. I did this with Make MKV.
If you choose the correct playlist from a given Blu-ray, it crashes Potplayer (what I am using in my case).

Make MKV also removes the AACS copy protection so you can watch the Blu-ray on un-licensed computer players.

Of course Make MKV is not free _ it has a 30 day trial.

Potplayer does support Blu-rays work fine when ffdshow is unchecked in "Preferences" with in the player.
I believe you can convert ISO into MKV _ mount the ISO's on to the virtual drive (Virtual Clone Drive in my case) and from there I should be able to create MKV file of the movie.
I'll let everyone know how that goes when I get a chance _ it may be a few days.

Thanks for that, that's what was needed. However it did not solve the crash problem. In the playlist I chose a small file of only 1 minute and 42 seconds (the movies start screen menu loop) and that worked, however the function of PotPlayer was sluggish although the CPU usage was at around 30 to 40%. I'm thinking that my platform isn't up to the task and that's why it's crashing.
I have also tried the latest version of ffdshow, (4525_2131117) and that didn't help either. It's acting as if SVP and Potplayer are not making use if the processor. It helps to let the video card do 100% of the work ( a little).
One more thing, I couldn't find the potplayermini file where you said it would be, here is  a screen shot of what's there.
I found the file in the Potplayer in Program Files(x86) > Daum > Porplayer. I am not sure if this is where I was supposed to go, but it's the only place where the Potplayermini file is.
The other thing it could be is the patch didn't take and SVP is only running on 2 or 3 gigs of RAM. If that's the case I am about at my wits end here...

I'm sorry I just don't understand what you mean to run the patch manually. I extract the file with WinRAR and click on the patch and I allow it to open. I get what you see in the screen shot. Clicking on any one of the files shows what I get in the second screen shot.

Thanks, I will try that. I was also using the latest BETA of PotPlayer which didn't quite match the screen shots, I will try an older version and start from scatch again. I've been sitting here for over 4 hours with this, so I need a break.
I will report back with my progress later.
