playing DVD gets digital copy protection error ..

i have a 8600 card . i get this error when try to play :

Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem
with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and
video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.

i have the latest Driver . i also have media player 11 .
problem doesnt happen with VLC player

So why do you bother with the bloated Media Player 11? Use VLC for all your
media.

Posted this solution to a similar issue a week or two back. If this is
your problem and its to become common then MS should do a fix. Do you
have Vista? Are you getting the issue because there has been a hardware
'change' that the DRM (copy protection) is designed to look for and
doesn't like? In which case you just go to your DRM folder in Vista and
delete everything in there. New copies of the files are then generated
for your 'new' hardware

I dont have Vista I have XP.

and yes i just added the 8600 video card .
should i just remove the DRM folder ?
any other problems i will get if i remove it ?

deleting the items in the DRM folder didnt fix the problem

Sorry it didn't help - but that was a Vista fix for your problem. Looks
like XP has a similar issue but different solution and I'm afraid I
don't know what it is.

This may be a possible solution. Its what I use to play video and has
also sorted issues with WMP too as it provides some codecs that XP is
missing...

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...codec_pack.htm

I dont like installing Codec packs except from software makers like
DIVX .
one never really knows whats in there.
not that i think there are viruses , it just that some dont work well.
if u can tell me exactly which codec has a problem for this thats
great.
DECCHECK shows i am using a cyberlink codec.

i dont know how to choose another one or even if its a codec problem
to begin with or a Nvidea driver issue.
i can tell you i didnt have this problem before i got the Nvidea card.

Up to you. been using it for years with no problems

I've no idea what you already have and what is missing from your system.
Nor do I know what codec the movies you are trying to play require.
Sorry.


i dont know how to choose another one or even if its a codec problem
to begin with or a Nvidea driver issue.

I don't know whether a new codec will sort this either. Its just one
option to try. See...

One final thought - did you reinstall Cyberlinks PowerDVD? That's
probably the missing or corrupt codec.

VLC is crap for playing DVD movies.
