DVD Playback and nVidia cards
Anyone know of a workaround for the problem of not being able to play DVDs
with the newer nVidia drivers? Really ****ed off with nVidia et al with all this macrovision crap. Appreciate any advice. Rgds Sam |

I think he means with the tv out option. This is not necessarily an nVidia problem, the TV decoder chips used on certain cards, notably those made by VisionTek, are not equipped with Macrovision. Therefore any attempt to play any DVD will fail with certain drivers. AFAICT the latest drivers(44.65+), the macrovision limitation seems to be gone. -- "Crazy way to travel, spreading a man's molecules all over the universe." Steve [Inglo] |

That's good news, the "official" 44.03's on the Nvidia site still have the problem, though I suppose anything over the 40.72's probably don't help a GF3 ti200 much anyway. |

Well I installed some DVD software (decrypters, codecs, etc.) and suddenly got the macrovision problem when trying to view a DVD that had always worked before (no TV-out connected). I checked on the nVidia site and it said to make sure that I have the latest driver. I had 42.71 (I think) and so I downloaded the latest from their site (44.03) and installed it. Hey presto! No more macrovision problem. I have a Gainward Ti-4800SE with VIVO. http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=3594#common2 |

The GF3 ti200 uses a Conextant BT868 for TV out. The latest driver I can use without 3rd party intervention is the 40.72's, and I've tried them all. It would be nice if Nvidia just let us disable the TV-out in setup somewhere so it wouldn't be an issue. |

It's not a rhetorical question, as I plan to use one (Ti4200 based) on Linux soon myself (dual boot Win2K/RedHat 9). --Keith |
