Has anyone else noticed that PowerDVD won't view ripped RCE movies from your HD. This is particularly irritating when trying to test the output of IFOEdit, etc. before burning even a RW version.

The problem appears to stem from the way PowerDVD associates region codes with drives. Since your HD doesn't have a region code, as far as PowerDVD is concerned, attempts to view RCE movies fail as if the DVD player was configured to the wrong region. DVD Genie doesn't seem to help.
