Blu Ray playback problems

[Sonokamome]

I'm having a hard time to play any Blu rays on my pc.

I have a ASUS MK241 monitor, a Nvidia GTX 460, a GTMax mini HDMI to HDMi cable (http://www.buy.com/prod/gtmax-mini-h...82E16827151199), and a trail version of WindDVD 2010.

Now my problem is that whenever I try to get WinDVD to start playing the BD disc, I get the following message by WinDVD:

"Your display environment does not support protected content playback".

This is wrong as I checked that all components were HDCP compliant. And although I checked the advisor software that Corel provided, it kept reporting that there was a digital connection but that, yet, was not HDCP complaint.

This is even more bizzare as when I check Nvidia's driver's check on HDCP complaince between the connection between the vga and the monitor via HDMI, it's given the okay.

Am I missing something? Is it the cable that I'm using (seeing that lengths for HDMI cables should be short and not long - and I have to admit that the image sucks in comparison to whent the monitor and vga are connected via DVI).

The HDMI adapter may cause HDCP problems.

 

[Sonokamome]

You mean the cable that I have listed? Because I'm not using any adapters whatsoever; it's a straight connection from the VGA to the monitor.

 

[lsv]

Wait you're using a VGA cable? I thought HDCP could only be transmitted over HDMI.

I read that as HDMI to something HDMIi ? It's late, sorry

 

[Sonokamome]

I'm sorry I was using an old acronym. By "vga" I meant video card (Video Graphics Accelerator).

So I have a mini HDMI to HDMI cable that is connecting directly between my vdieo card to my monitor.

Aaah my bad, I thought there was some adapter tomfoolery. There's no way to test blue ray playback in other software is there? Maybe the trial doesn't support HDCP playback? I'd not imagine why but hey worth a shot.

 

[Sonokamome]

I've tried Cyberlink and that didn't work either. I can't think of any other player out there for the PC that can do Blu ray.

I know that there was that AnyDVDHD solution but that's bullocks and a waste of money.

 

[lsv]

True, shitty buzz. For some reason I think it could be the cable. Maybe it's a gimp?

 

[Sonokamome]

Could be. Perhaps I will go to Best Buy and get myself another cable (more shorter perhaps will give me less problems).
