Why wont my video card play my DVDs?!?
-
so i just built a new computer and i dropped in 1 XFX GeForce 9800 GTX+ and i have a Samsung Black DVD burner. im running XP Pro on it. i tryed to play a dvd movie in windows media player 11 and it gave this error message: "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card. Try installing an updated driver for your video card." i tryed playing it with several programs but none of them worked... so why wont my video card play my DVDs? is this a common problem? it seems stupid to me that my vid card wont let me play a common DVD movie... wats up with that!? i have also noticed that XFX doesnt make driver updates very easy to find. i have a XFX mobo also and i cant find driver updates for ether... can someone help me with my incompatability issues???

its not the video card, its the DVD anti-piracy feature. that's why all my moves are downloaded, since every new DVD I have doesn't read on any of my computers, only in the DVD player attached to the TV. the digital copy protection system may ofter require a special program to run a DVD, it sometimes may cost extra money or even be a hog on your system after you installed it.
