I was trying to play a movie i rented from blockbuster (kilbill) and it wouldnt work after the "WARNING" screens. Just as it was going to the movie menu it said. "The TV out port of your display card is not working properly.

This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out function is enabled."

Is there a way i can turn tv out off? I'm currently on a GF2 MX400

Thanks guys
 
IIRC, you'll need to go back to an older Detenator driver to watch that DVD. I remember some threads on the newer drivers disabling DVD playback due to non-compliant tv chips on some boards.
 
Maybe try turning off "macrovision" if you are using TVTool. (I think that it is related to what you are experiencing)
 
In the 43.xx or 44.xx dets, they added that. Don't you love it?
For a GF2mx, go for the tried and true 30.82.
 
Wow, that's retarded. I didn't know about this issue, thanks for the thread. Do recent ATI cards/drivers suffer from this as well? I've watched various movies via the TV-out on Radeon cards, but those were.. err, CD rips. I have yet to try one of my original DVDs on my newly-installed R9200 card, but I had good results from the TV-out on my old ATI RagePro when watching DVDs on my PII-450 systems.

Analog copy-protection features are lame and stupid, IMHO.
 
I don't know about the ATI TV-out, but I know macrovision detection works for the inputs.
