Need help fast with DVD
I got a power DVD 5.... and every time i try to run the movie it always says "Error, cannot run copyrighted movie while TV out function is enabled"
"TV out port of your display card is not working properly" not exact words, but close enough anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to find out in the next 30 mins! (im using a Dell Inspirion) |

That's just so retarded. Isn't the "video out" so you can output it to a TV to watch? Macrovision should take their heads out of their arse.
There are many ways to bypass macrovision. There's this program that will bypass DVD Regions and Macrovision. I forget what's it's called as I don't use it, I normally just rip the DVD's and put it on my data server so everyone in the house can watch before I delete it. |

Could the program have been called AnyDVD by any chance? You can copy every copy protected DVD with the AnyDVD + CloneDVD combo* so bypassing the copy protection to display the DVD on the TV Out should be possible too (with AnyDVD running in the background).
*note that this fact does not make the programs illegal per se; it becomes illegal if you copy copy protected DVDs which you don't own yourself If a Mod (most likely the omniscient and fast xris ) still thinks that this should not have been posted, I apologize. (No need to say to remove it since Mods will do that anyway if they deem it necessary ^_^) |

Media Player Classic can also play DVD's, but if it's not a player issue, then it could be that you need a display driver update, or have a disk issue.

It doesn't matter if it's hooked up to a TV or not. With my setup, if I try and play a DVD when the video card is set to "Clone" mode, it give a similar sort of error message (and a TV doesn't need to be connected). If I put the video card into "Dual View" mode, then it plays the DVD OK. I'm suggesting that your video card has a similar sort of setup and if TV-out is enabled, it will not allow the DVD to play (it may require the setup to have TV-out enabled along with being in the equivalent of "Clone" mode). On the other hand, it may have nothing to do with your set up and the problem is simply your "TV out port of your display card is not working properly"
I am being a bit hazy on this since I haven't tried this in over a year now, but it does sound like the same sort of scenario I came across. |

Drop the display resolution to 800x600 or 640x480?
What I don't understand is if you are trying to use two monitors (notebook monitor and TV monitor) or not. S-video, VGA, DVI-I, and composite connectors are usually plug & play, where the driver will not turn them on unless there is a cable connected. |

Or you can always try www.TVTool.com -it can disable Macrovision and do other stuff too.
