Asus' R & D I'm sure has their hands full with their own products' quality assurance. They can't keep up with all the third party stuff. That's a good find on your part, though! I recall PowerDVD having a nuance many versions ago with DVD playback, when resuming (it would hang).
We customize Asus, MSI, and Clevo laptops!

It looks like the date of the latest update to PowerDVD 10 was 5-6-13, which is right around the time the G750 builds were already completed for shipping.

Updates PowerDVD 10 Ultra 3D Mark II to build 5223
Installing this patch update resolves issue where program sometimes crashes when starting Blu-ray Disc playback. For more detailed information, hover your mouse over the “i” icon on the right”."
Did your G750 come with a blu-ray drive? My G750JX came with a DVD drive, so the included Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 wouldn't play blu-ray discs, so I swapped in an LG CT40 BDR.
I didn't bother trying to update the PowerDVD 10 to play Blu-ray, instead I downloaded the newest version:

It isn't unusual to have to update included Cyberlink software to get it to work. The included versions are always way old / out of date as that is what is available to OEM's to include with their systems. I have had to update the included Cyberlink software every time.
These days I purchase the latest version once a year and install that on the computers I want to watch Blu-ray's on.
... and yes! I have a Blu-ray drive. My G750 model is CV038H!
