Any thoughts? A weird copy protction scheme?
Thanks

Yeah, probably. It happens with a Comcrap laptop we have, too. And it also happens if you hook up most DVD players to a VCR and thence to a TV (like when a TV only has an F-type coax RF-in so you need to use a VCR to act as an RCA->RF converter).
That's Macrovision. Thank the MPAA for that. Lousy rotten oligarchs... -.\\<-H-
Actually, you can thank Congress for that. They were the ones that passed the DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act), under the strong influence of the MPAA, and the RIAA. Possibly the most flawed piece of legislation in recent history. If everyone called their Congressmen (and women) and bitched loud and long about it, we might be able to get something done to change things. Until then, this is the kind of crap we have to live with.
