Unable to play newer DVDs - Macrovision?
I have a Shuttle PC with a Radeon 9600 AIW card. I have it hooked up
to my Plasma TV using the ATI HDTV adaptor. I am using PowerDVD 5.0 but it does not seem to matter what software i use. I can play older DVDs just fine but when I try to play newer ones (like Finding Nemo) I get this error: Error Code: F4D41436 TheTV Out port of your display card is not working properly. This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled. Any ideas what I can do? I thought i read somewhere that the newer DVDs protect against copying via computers hooked up to TVs. I hope this is a joke because otherwise there goes my investment in my HTPC. |

It's no joke, but there is a way around it. Check the forums at www.rage3d.com |

There are probably a number of ways around this nowadays and someone will, I'm sure, offer a better one than this but for a quick fix older drivers for the graphics card (pre-Macrovision) usually work Shawk |

I thought macrovision only interfered when you hook the TVout to a video -
thats what I've found. Hooking up the PC to TV is fine for playing films and thats included Finding Nemo (for me). "Chrisbe" wrote in message m... I have a Shuttle PC with a Radeon 9600 AIW card.

That is my understanding to and is why I can't figure out why this is
happening. I am not sure if it is ATI's fault or not. Doesn't Macrovision have to check the video drivers to make this determination? Than I would think there must be something wrong with the drivers. I am not sure what to do. "Sleepy" wrote in message ...
