I am having a video problem with my Sony Vaio Laptop Model VPCEB490X that I just installed Windows 8 Pro on (Core I-5, 8 GB Ram, 320 Solid State Drive, ATI Mobility Readeon 5650, upgraded from Windows 7 Pro). Video will not play except in VLC.
I have tried the following programs: Cyberlink Power DVD 12 Corel WinDVD Pro 11 Corel WinDVD 10 and Nero 12. None of these programs will play either a DVD, a Bluray or video encoded as a Media Center file. Further, Media Center does
not play any video either. All these programs do is play the audio.
The only programs that do work with video and audio are Real Player using its own format, Itunes using its own format, VLC media player (but no Bluray support) and Netflix in either a browser window or in Media Center.
I have reinstalled my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 Series drivers from the Sony support site (as instructed by AMD) and the newest AMD Control Catalyst program from AMD. Plus I have also installed these drivers for Windows 7 compatibility and
as the administrator as some have suggested. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Media Center as suggested by Microsoft.
However, nothing works to get a Bluray or DVD to play in these programs or windows video to play in either Media Center or Metro under the video app.
Any suggestions to fix this problem?
