Why wont DVD's play back any more?

I have tried WinDVD and PowerDVD....

Windows XP
GFX5800
44.03


Sounds like it good be that Macrovision issue with drivers after
40.72 (search the groups.google.com archive for lots of discussion
of this in this ng).

I suffered this problem the other day (with 44.03 drivers) and I went back
to using 41.09. My DVDs work fine using 41.09......? (using Hercules 3D
Prophet III GeForce 3)

I've also found that with certain 40.xx
drivers I can only play DVDs with PowerDVD if I turn off hardware
acceleration in the program's options.

Same here too using PowerDVD 3. (was bundled with my video card)

I downloaded an update for PowerDVD 3 which fixes a few bugs, but most
importantly allows hardware acceleration to be enabled.

If you use PowerDVD 3, I'd recommend you grab the update.
