I'm looking for a legal copy of PowerDVD Ultra v7 (the one that supports HD DVD). Does anyone have one for sale or knows where to get one? Thx.

PowerDVD 8 also supports HD. There appears to be several offerings out on EBay ...

Are you sure about this? From what I read Power DVD 8 beta did support HD DVD playback but that support was removed in the GA product. There seem to be some hacks around for reintroducing the HD DVD playback capabilities into the GA. However, later fix-packs made these hacks inoperable. On cyberlnk's web page one can find the following that seems to support this.

cyberlink website wrote: After Toshiba made their announcement that it will no longer develop, manufacture and market HD DVD format discs and the fact that there will be limited new title releases in HD DVD format, CyberLink has decided to remove HD DVD support from PowerDVD 8. However, CyberLink will continue to support and maintain HD DVD movie playback in PowerDVD Ultra (version 7.3).
