Will it integrate with VMC? &nbsp;

I have an HTPC with vista ultimate 32 bit. &nbsp; I added a bluray drive and am using arcsoft total media theatre 3 version 3.0.1.120. &nbsp;After watching a bluray for about an hour it just cuts out and goes back to VMC. &nbsp;Sometimes it does this after 5 minutes. &nbsp;Its not throwing any errors or writing to the event log so i'm at a loss. &nbsp;Could it be a bad drive? &nbsp;Bad codec? &nbsp;overheating? bad ram? &nbsp;<br />

PS: The only other thing I have installed is the vista codec bundle for watch mkv etc. &nbsp;<br />
PSS: Is arcsoft the way to go or should I use the windvd 8 that came with the drive?

Digital audio is technology that can be used to record, store, generate, manipulate, and reproduce sound using audio signals encoded in digital form. Following significant advances in technology, digital rapidly replaced analog audio technology in most areas. Digital audio systems may include compression, storage, processing and transmission components. It is important to distinguish between the audio coding format, the codec performing the encoding and decoding of the raw audio data, and the container file. Common file formats include .wav, .aiff, .au, .m4a, .mp3, .wma, .ra and .raw.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
