trouble playing a DVD

[Animematt55]

So, i got Silent Hill today....and it won't play on my computer....says somethign about copyright protection...and a DVD decoder....i have never run into this problem before..

[Fobb]

You're just trying to play it right? Not burn it or anything?

[Animematt55]

Both.....
Filler

[SousukeSagara]

maybe its your DVD playing program....? stupid copyright protection crap...

[Fobb]

It won't let you burn it because of the copyright protection. Some DVD's are like that. But I don't know anything about it giving you the error when just watching, so yeah. Try another player maybe.

[Animematt55]

I just found out it is my DVD playing program (windows media player sucks..) my friend is getting one for me. I was also using DVD shrink to copy it....

[Fobb]

Either way, it probably still won't work if you try to burn it. A lot of new DVD's are copy protected. So unless you can break the encryption, no go.

[SousukeSagara]

ahh, thats what i figured, its usually not the hardware, but the software ;)

oh, well this is more like making back ups of my DVDs....yes...that's it....

People have been complaining about Limewire viruses lately too.

All you have to make sure to do is don't download any .exe files, or any files you find that are suspicious, for example, if it's a HALO 2 file, and it's only 1kb big, I'd suggest not downloading it...
