Well I've tried 2 programs. Intervideo WinDVD which came with the drive, and Cyberlink PowerDVD. I told you above what happenes with intervideo, except I forgot to mention that the monitor turns off then back on when I start the program, as if it's changing modes or something. Then it does it again when you quit the program. If i tried it wil PowerDVD, it doesn't do the flashing thing, but when I hit play it says Error Code: F4D41436. The TV Out port of your display card is not working properly. Then under details it says This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled. But I'm not trying to output it to a TV or anything. I have a Geforce 3 Ti 200. There's a VGA out and an svideo out but there's nothing hooked up to the svideo.
