DVD copyright protection issues ( G3Ti200 Pro-TD(MS-8851)

Maybe some of you have already experienced this. But I just installed an internal DVD player in my PC with "Power DVD" software. I was quite happy playing several different DVD's until recently when an error message came up stating: "The TV Out port of your display card is not working properly", and: "This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled".
Now I have had much problems in the past with TV out. Driver updates do not support the TV out function, and it in effect becomes disabled. However, in the VGA card bios it is still enabled by default. So I have a video card that says TV out doesn't work and a DVD player which says it does. BUT, there doesn't seem to be a tab or button anywhere in the configuration utility to disable it!
My question is: does anyone know of a regedit or any other means to disable the tv out function of my video card? Also: the move I was trying to watch was "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", practically speaking can anyone address which copyright software is causing this issue? Is this listed on the package? Does anyone know of other movies incompatible with your or my system?
MSI: this is also a question you need to address in that you are selling a product not compatible with its intended use.
Let's not lose sight of the real issue here people. This is nothing more than the largest companies in the world extorting even more money out of our already empty pockets. AOL-Time-Warner, Sony, Viacom, and so on, are stealing our money because they can and no one is stopping them. They took $5 of my money, and I wasn't even able to use their product.

Hi,
I'm not familiar with your hardware, but here's a couple of things you could try.
TV-out is usually not enabled in the first place if there is no TV connected, so you could either boot without the TV connected, or disable it by disconnecting and then clicking on the "Detect Displays" button (at somewhere like Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> nVidia). Note that the test for presence of a TV is a fairly simple resistance measurement, which will detect a connected TV or VCR etc., even if it is switched off.
Hopefully, the copy protection will then not think that you are trying to copy the DVD to a VCR connected to the TV out port. (Naturally, no-one would ever think of using an external VGA-TV converter )
TVTool is also worth checking out at http://www.tvtool.de - although it might not work with your hardware.
Cheers

Problems with G3Ti200 pro-td128 (MS-8851)

Ok first problem actually seems to be with overclocking software that came with the card. I run WinXP pro, and every time i try to click on the MSI tabs i get a rundll error. When i was running Win ME, and 98se it worked fine. Next i am experience frame rate slow downs when playing games like Ghost Recon. I use to have an P3 700 256 ram, and tnt2 and it ran faster then. I am running the new 40.x det drivers from nvidia. My relivent specs are as follows. Sorry for any spelling/grammer errors.
AMD XP 1700+ 1.47 gig
Asus A7S333 mobo
512 DDR Ram
G3ti200 Pro-TD128

uninstall the drivers then re-install them again, there was a bug with 40.41 drivers, u had to uninstall the previous ones prior to installing 40.41's. (this will fix the dll bug)
jerky gameplay can sometimes be related to hard disk, make your you close down anything running int he background, defragging your hdd would also be a good idea.

DVD copyright protection

I use DVD Studio Pro to make DVDs and I am unable to copy protect them. Do I ned to get different hardware to copy protect the DVDs I make? If so what is your recommendation.

Unless you make replicated discs (macrovision, CSS or some others through Sony) you cannot do it, and it is all easily defeated anyway

DVD Copyright Protection (Bypass?)

I teach HS Television/Radio. I am not trying to do anything illegal. My students are to be making Movie Trailers using a DVD. Our capture screen is giving us the copyright error. I've tried, puting a VCR in between, using obscure cords, etc. Is there anyway around this?

> Thanks captain obvious. Tell me something I didn't know. I was aksing for a tip, not a notice from the FCC
trentschler,
No need to be so hostile.
You got tips, but you also got a reminder that you should examine your methods and intentions at least once more before you undertake your project. As you know, (better than anyone) your actions significantly impact the outlook and perceptions of the young minds you teach.
Like all advice given here and elsewhere, only you can determine its worth.

I have a MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD MS-8851 geforce 3 graphics card and a MSI 845PE Max 2 MS 6704 Mainboard. There is a sticker over the AGP port on the board which says I can only use AGP 1.5v 4x cards in the slot and If I dont I can seriously damage the mainboard. Will my card be compatible with the board?. Thanks

any modern gf cards fine,older tnt2 can be gpx4 but not all are

Burn Multiple Copyright Protected DVDs

After I have created a copyright protected DVD (Formatted for CSS), how do I make/format multiple copies?
I have tried making DVDs where you are allowed mutliple copies from that DVD but subsequent copies cannot be made from the copies. However, I find that the copies I have made from the original CAN in fact be easily copied using Toast.
I tried copyright protection by Formatting for CSS and that seems to be more difficult for others to duplicate. The problem is that I have not been able to figure out how to format/burn multiple copies straight from DVD Pro. I have been doing it just one at a time.
I would like to burn/format multiple copies of a copyright protected/no copies allowed DVD I have created. I have a Primera Bravo II Disc Publisher

Thanks Gary. That helps me on the Primera issue though I can just as easily burn the project onto a DVD burner on my computer then tell Primera's program to copy that x number of times. Your method may be quicker though so I will give it a try.
In terms of copyright protection, I read what you wrote but I need to follow up with a question. First, when I check "No Copies Allowed" on DVD Pro, my users have not been able to make copies of that DVD. At least not easily with what the average person has on their computer. I want to make multiple copies of that kind of DVD w/o having to do it one at a time. Is there an easy way to accomplish that for runs of about 20 copies? I do runs of 10-20 copies several times a week so I am looking for a way to reduce my workflow.

DVD +Copyright/copy protection

I am a sports videographer. I use Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 to edit and burn game dvds for my customers. My customers are telling me that they are unable to take clips off my dvds to create highlight dvds or video files to send to college coaches on the internet because my dvds are somehow "copyright protected" or copymaking proof signal embedded or whatever the technical term is for what is keeping them from achieving their project. I am not wittingly clicking on any feature to make this happen on purpose. I tried to find the problem and solution in the manual but could not find anything. I hope I am describing my dilemma correctly. Is there a way to disengage this feature so that my customers can do anything they want with the footage on the dvds I make for them? Thank you for your help.

Welcome to the forum.
As ATR states, PrE cannot create a DVD-Video with Copy Protection. No burned DVD-Video can have Copy Protection, as such, but only replicated DVD's, and PrE is not capable of producing such material, even if one is going to a replication house. That is not the issue here.
Now, are you providing the clients with DVD-Video (with the VIDEO_TS folder structure, to be played on a computer with DVD software, or from a set-top DVD player hooked to a TV), or are you providing DVD-Data discs, where you are just Copying the AV files to a DVD disc, for distribution? The discs would look the same, but have different folder structures burned onto them.
How are your clients trying to extract the files? With a DVD-Video, the media files will be in a VOB container, and those might need to be ripped from the DVD-Video, to be used. PrE can do that ripping, providing that the DVD-Video is 100% DVD-compatible. The VOB's created by PrE should be 100% DVD-compatible. Not all NLE (Non Linear Editor) programs CAN Import and work with VOB's. In those cases, other software is needed to rip the MPEG-2 DVD AV files from the VOB containers, to Import and edit those. This might mean an additional step for the clients, but that will depend on the software that they have access to, and might differ, client to client.
As a test, though limited to PrE, I would take one of your DVD's, Copy the VIDEO_TS folder to an internal HDD, then Open a New Project in PrE (NTSC, or PAL DV would be the desired Project Preset, and either Standard 4:3, or Widescreen 16:9, depending on which you shot), and then Import the VOB's into that Project. Do you get any errors? Remember, that will ONLY tell you, if you have created the VOB's, such that PrE can Import those. Depending on the clients' software, they might, or might not be able to use the VOB's directly.
Good luck, and sorry to add more questions to ATR's, but the answers to all, might tell the story.

Dvd created in final cut pro not working

I have created multiple Dvd's in Final Cut Pro X and never seem to have a problem. Yet with my most recent project I've run into a problem. The created Dvd's will not play on any of our dvd players, blue ray or regular player. The error message I am getting on some of them is "region not supported". But they will play on any Pc or Mac I insert them in. I burned the Dvd using the dvd function in Final Cut.
Any advise?

For copy-protection reasons, DVDs (the video ones) have a regional "code" - for example, North America is region 1, and Europe is 2 (grosso modo). Computers for the most part ignore this, but common DVD players don't - so a region 1 player refuses to play region 2 discs, etc.
In old times, I remember that DVD drives that came with Macs were set to some region (presumably according to where they were bought), and there was a way to change it, but you were limited to some 5 changes, after which the drive would be locked at whatever "region" it was in. I don't remember how that region was changed, but it does look like the region associated with the DVD drive in your mac did indeed change, so as to make it different from your local one.

I'm not sure how this is an iTunes issue, but anyway, other than buying the apps from the Mac App Store (note that iDVD and iWeb are not available via the App Store), the only alternative is to call Apple support and give them the serial number of your Mac. They can usually sell you a new disk set for a reasonable fee.

Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?

Can't burn Dual Layer DVD-R on new Mac Pro?
I have a new Mac Pro with Pioneer DVD burner built in. I've since found out that it only burns Dual Layer +R type, and not the -R type.
My replication company need a Dual Layer -R type DVD as they can't get a glass-master off the +R type Dual Layer discs.
Can anyone recommend/suggest a cheap way of being able to either master off a DVD to Dual Layer -R disc, or perhaps copy my Dual Layer +R to a Dual Layer -R ?
Thanks guys.

Everything I have ever read about the DVD-R DL discs says the layer break can't be chosen by the author. It is not a DVDSP issue; it is an issue with the media.
This is actually listed in the DVDSP 4.1 Late Breaking News on page 15:
"Using DVD-R Dual-Layer Media
If your system contains a DVD drive that can write to the new DVD-R dual-layer media, you can burn your DVD project to it with DVD Studio Pro. However, there are several issues:
Since there is no current way for DVD Studio Pro to identify DVD-R dual-layer media as having two layers, burning a dual-layer project to it results in a warning appearing telling you that the DVD media may have insufficient room to hold the project. This message is based on the assumption that the disc is single layer. Both layers of the disc will be written to as needed, however, when you click Continue.
If you are burning a dual-layer project, the break point you set will not affect where the layer break actually occurs. Instead, the first layer is written to until filled, at which point the drive switches to writing to the second layer.
The switch between layers is a seamless layer change not supported by some DVD players, which may stop playing the disc when the switch point is reached.
Important: Do not use DVD-R dual-layer media unless these issues do not impact your project.
You can use DVD+R double-layer media for burning your dual-layer projects. With DVD+R double-layer media, DVD Studio Pro places the layer break point and sets the switch point to be nonseamless as specified in your project."
Can you tell us what drive you have and what firmware (revision) it is?

MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD128

I have just recently purchased an MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD128 Video card and am having trouble installing the driver for it. Let me give a bit of back ground of my system and what I have tried so far. I have a MSI KT3 Ultra (MS-6380E) mainboard with 1gb 2100 DDR ram, an AMD 2000+ XP processor and I am running Windows 98 SE. I have just recently updated my Bios to the latest version (5.6) as well as downloaded and installed the latest chipset drivers for my motherboard. I have also made sure my bios AGP setting was at 4x. My problem is that when I put in the installation disk and click on the install VGA driver link it tells me that it can't find the device. I then tried to install the driver manually through the add hardware feature. It says it installed correctly but when I reboot the monitor stays black after the initial Windows screen and then it reboots itself and goes to the safe mode menu. Once I did get the driver installed and back into Windows but it was still in 16 color mode and when I attempted to set it to high color and rebooted I got a message that the display properties were incorrect for the hardware that I had. I know my AGP slot works because I put my Riva TNT 2 32mb card back in and have no problems with it.
Please help I have tried everything I know (which isn't much ) )

Good point, I missed that critical point in my first read.
There are fixes or workarounds for that.
Win98/98SE/ME can't handle more than 512 megs of memory
It's a known issue that Win ME, Win98 and Win95 cannot deal with main memory sizes in excess of 512MB.
This problem may occur more readily with AGP video adapters because the AGP aperture is also mapped to addresses in the system area
For example, if Vcache is using a maximum cache size of 800MB and an AGP video adapter has a 128MB aperture mapped, there is very little address space remaining for the other system code and data that must occupy this range of virtual addresses."
And here are the three suggested workarounds:
1. Physically remove any memory in excess of 512MB
2. Use the System Configuration utility to limit the amount of memory that Windows uses to 512MB or less.
3. Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512MB (524,288 KB) or less."
And the unspoken fourth solution: upgrade to Windows 2000.
MS knowledgebase also admits that the addressing restriction has been identified as a failing in Windows. Installing Win2K obviated the problem. All 768MB ran faultlessly.

G3Ti200 Pro-TD128 Crashes System

I have been trying to get my MSI G3Ti200 Pro-TD128 to display correctly. Upon boot up, the system crashes (from time to time). When I press the reset button for a warm boot-up, WindowsME loads fine. Once the desktop appears, Windows is stuck in the basic 16-color old VGA mode. At first I thought it was a hardware conflick, so I removed all devices and cards. I even tried swapping the DIMMs with known good DIMMs (in case of bad memory). Nothing worked. I thought maybe there's a conflick between CMOS resources and WindowsME resoures, so I tried to force Windows to use the CMOS settings. That did not work either. Then I tried to force CMOS to change resourse settings to allow Windows to use the resoureces available. That did'nt work. I flashed the motherboards bios to the lasest revision and tried everthing again, that did'nt work. Then I tried using different drivers and proformed the same porcedure again.
This has lead me to believe that my old Motheboard/CPU cannot handle this display card.
Any suggestions would be very helpful.
My motherboard is a Tyan K7 (S2380) "early" AMD socket-A board. Memory is at about 640Mb, one HDD ATT66 30Gb. Chipset is a VIA Apollo KX-133 (I tried using the lasest drivers for that too). This motherboard uses a Award BIOS 2Mbit Flash RAm that supports APM & ACPI (which I also tried enabled and disabled modes). This board does not have it's own audio ports. It runs on a 200Mhz Front side bus and is using an eary 1Ghz AMD CPU (Socket-A). The DIMMs are a PNY 256Mb PC-133, there are three installed.
Other PCI cards used include a Soundblaster 5.1 Platium sound card, Soundblaster DXR3 5.1 Dolby Digital encoder (for use with a 5x DVD IDE drive), a PCI 100/baseTX network card, a Firewire adapter card, a PCI WINTV-HDD card (for displaying HD-TV on computer).
There has to be a way that I can get this display card to work. I tried a "fresh" reinstalation of WindowsME. In WindowsMe, it did not show any conflicks at all.
Could my suspicion about the motherboard be correct? Or is there something else that I could try?
When Windows asks me to adjust the display settings, I try to change it to at least 256-colors and reboot. The display goes back to 64-colors. It's almost as if the display drivers are loaded, but don't function. I am going to try older drivers for this display card to see if any of them work. So, far I have spent 3 full days trying to get this thing to work.
Please Help...
Thank you.

Thanks for the help.
I already tried everthing possible, to get the display card to work. I know the card works fine in my other computer. The via chipset in this motherboard is not compatible with the display card. My older display card (3DFX 5500) works fine. I have been thinking for some time before about updating the computer for Pentium 4. This problem that I had, has made me deside to upgrade now.
I ran into this type of problem before. The only way to fix it, was to upgrade Windows or replace the motherboard. I was hoping to find an alternative. After serveral attempts and various methods, my only option left is to replace the motherboard.
There are two "hidden" system drivers installed within WindowsMe. I believe for each PCI card installed. One is called, "ACPI IRQ Holder For PCI IRQ". The other is called, "PCI IRQ Holder". Something like those anyway, I'm not sure the exact wording. ACPI helps the bios to control standby opperations within the bios. I went through both drivers, they had somthing to do with the problem. Disableing these drivers prevent the cards form working at all.
Some chipset versions work better than others. Intel and Via have several different chipsets used in the Pentium 4 class motherboards. The problem now is to deside which one to pick.
I have to research the matter.
Thanks again for the help.
Now that the prices finally went down on computer products, upgrading cost is almost nothing. Not like twenty years ago, it would cost a fortune just to install a set of DRAMs.

1) There is a lot of hardware in your system, can the Power Supply Handle it all?
2) You are running SB Live!, is it on IRQ 5 and is that PCI Slot not being shared?
3) Did you update to the Latest 4in1 Via Drivers?
4) I would try pulling all the PCI cards out of the computer and just try running with HD, Optical Drive, Vid Card and see if you get problems then.

Bluetooth problem - Cannot Connect to Device that is not copyright protected SCMS-T Method

I have a Qosmio X875-5280 which has a bluetooth adapter. I also have a bluetooth device which is an adapter for a Bose Sounddock such that the device allows the Sounddock to receive the bluetooth audio stream from the laptop -- at least that is how it worked until recently. Diagnostics show that both the bluetooth adapter and the bluetooth device are working. When trying to connect to the device, I now get "connection failed" message or the message "You cannot connect to a device that is not copyright protected by SCMS-T method." It seems the Toshiba bluetooth stack is responsible for this, however, I fail to see why a device which is acting like headphones fails to connect now. I have Windows 7 64 installed. I have uninstalled all of the bluetooth drivers and re-installed them several times. Attached is a pdf file which shows all messages and settings relevant to the issue.
