    Chrontel 7xxx + Nvidia + macrovision, STORMY please help!

    Hey all, I have a Toshiba laptop with Chrontel 7007 tv encoder and Nvidea Geforce 2 GO graphic chipset.
    When I play dvds on the pc, everythings working fine.
    However, when i enable TVout, it seems macrovision copy protection is preventing me from watching DVDs on the TV.
    As soon as the player starts (WinDVD, PowerDVD) the screen flickers in black and white and I can't see a thing.
    When I quit the DVD player, everthing goes back normal.
    Now, I tried the anti-macrovision feature of TVTOOL 6.8 and it doesn't work. (I messaged JB about this).
    When I use Region Selector or DVDRegionFree (=DVDIdle), the macrovision is defated properly and everything runs fine.
    However, I'd like to avoid using the above softwares and saw on your page ( http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/nv...t.html#nomacro ) the cracked ch7xxw9x.dll . But I run Windows XP and couldn't find any DLL of the same name in any directory. However, I found a wch7xxnt.sys "Digital Display Minidriver for Intel(R) Graphics Driver" so I was wondering if you could forward this file to Stormy to see if he could patch it (=remove macrovision).
    Would that be possible?
    Guys, what soft are you using for defating macrovision on PC+TVOUT? (Tvtool, Region Selector, DVDRegionFree, is there any other program??)
    Please let me know ASAP.
    Later,

          "CHRONTEL 7007 COMPATIBILITY
          ---------------------------
          There is a good chance that these changes will allow Macrovision
          to be bypassed on the Chrontel 7007 as well, though this hasn't
          been tested. If for some reason it doesn't, then you may need to
          do some additional patches:

          Step 1: Replace 81E1FF00000083F950 with 81E1FF00000083E140
          Step 2: Replace 81E2FF00000083FA50 with 81E2FF00000083E240

          This makes the code that checks for device ID 0x0050 treat it
          as if it was 0x0040 instead, which should make the Chrontel 7007
          behave exactly like the (patched) Chrontel 7008."

          I need to know where I can contact the great dude who wrote this.
          Stromy, where are you!?!!
