However the thing that I thought was strange is that I am not using the TV out port at all, just watching it on the monitor! Anyway will give it a try tonight. Cheers	pico (4752)

Hmm cant say I've heard of any probs just trying to play DVD's on the moniitor. BUT, it sounds like it has something to do with Macrovision. BUT you will, or used to have probs, when using earlier versions of the Nvidia drivers, thru video out (It may also happen to later versions as well). I never tried with later versions. Atho, now I've got an ATI 256mb card. My old card was a FX5200. Which is now in the other PC here. Since I installed dvd x player (the link I posted previously). This program plays anything and everything. So, it wouldnt matter what kind of video drivers are installed.	Speedy Gonzales (78)

425635	2006-01-31 19:31:00	Thanks everyone, I updated my graphics drivers again and it fixed the problem. Although now its so hot in the Waikato that my PC crashed 3 times last night while trying to watch WAr of the Worlds!	pico (4752)
425636	2006-02-03 09:06:00	Originally Posted by bob_doe_nz True, but VLC bypasses that and CAN play DVD's even if the drive is locked I will put that to the test tonight and let you know how I get on. My dad's laptop DVD drive has been locked to Region 1. I have looked for a firmware update but there isn't one. AnyDVD and DVD Region + CSS Free don't work with Mat****a drives, which this one is. Hey, just letting you know that VLC does not bypass the drive region if the dvd has RCE on it I think. I tried 3x Zone 4 dvds on the laptop that has the drive stuck on Zone 1 and one of them will not play even in VLC. It tries to read the disc but then just stops. Even DVD Decrypter won't read this disc. It says something about it being unable to find the CSS key and do you want to try a brute force attack and I said yes but it still doesn't work :( No firmware for this drive either :(	CYaBro (73)
