PowerDVD 4.0 & MacroVision

[valzag]

PowerDVD 4.0 support only VGA card approved by MacroVision. So, Voodoo3 3000 (TV out) work only in File mode, in Disk mode: error F4D41436 - "This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled.".

As a result you can play only ripped DVDs (via DVDDecrypter 3.0.0.8).

The main reason is because the DVD Forum asked all DVD player developers (hardware and software) to protect analogue output (TV-OUT) by MacroVision.

Then, why not get a new card? For example Kyro II doesn´t even have the Macrovision protection as far as I can tell... I tried playing PowerDVD on a Kyro II card via both the tv and vcr and I had no problems with playback or the image quality...

I had the same problem which occurs because of Macrovision copy protection on the DVD. I can now happily watch my DVD's on my TV. This link is to a French university project in multi media. They have downloadable DVD software that doesn't know about Macrovision and plays perfectly.

Good luck.
