Hi speedpicking,

If you want to watch DVDs on TV without Macrovision, you should try DVDIdle.

It has Macrovision-Free feature, which supports PowerDVD 3.0/XP, WinDVD 2000/3.0, CinePlayer 4.0 and other player softwares.

No matter what video card you use, DVDIdle can disable Macrovision for you.

I'm afraid DVDidle doesn't work for everything. I use an NVidia Geforce 4 420 G setup and WinDVD3 and the Macrovision disabling does not work.
TVTool may well work for NVidia cards but GF4 cards are not yet supported.

:rolleyes:
Actually, the failure wasn't anything to do with DVDidle. Just me not making the TV screen the primary monitor. Doh!

Apologies Fengtao.

I couldn't see movies (in any format) played on my PC through my TV and thanks to this trick now I can: making TV screen the primary monitor solves the Macrovision protection problem, no matter the DVD player. At least, in my case. So thanks again!
