The problem you are faceing is the DRM copy protection. Microsoft has been
over zealous in enforcing this DVD! They require that no other video
drivers are installed on your computer that might be attempting to copy the
video. Unforrtunately, they do not distinguish between these pirate
programs and the Freedom Scientific Video Mirror driver. In effect, they
are accusing all JAWS users of being pirates! This could get serious if the
International treaty to prevent counterfeiting gets enacted. The current
leaked proposal states that if anybody is reported to be performing acts of
piracy 3 times, like illegal downloads, will be banned from the Internet for
life! This is not a conviction from a court, just a letter from your ISP,
or other accusation could be enough.
Try using another media player, such as VLC Media Player or WinAmp. They
should play the DVD just fine. I like VLC because it is easy to move
directly to the main title, the movie, from the menus.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] DVD issue!
hello everyone, as my subject line says I have an DVD issue! This DVD I am
trying to play is called Randall and Hopkirt decease.
When I load the DVD player with windows media player I get the following
message.
Windows Media Player
Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because it is not
possible to turn on analog copy protection on the output
display. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.
Close Web Help
I have tryed following the instructions that dialog sents me and basicly
it said either to do a check for updates with microsoft or to see if I
have got any other DVD software installed and to basicly run that software
and re run the dvd with windows media player and that should of fixed the
issue.
And the final sergestion was to update my drivers. Which I don't have a
clue about how to do it.
Just so people know I have run other DVD's on my computer and they have
worked so I don't know why this perticular dvd won't play.
Has anyone incounted this issue and could give me advice on how to install
the latest drivers if it comes to that?
I know this isn't really a Jaws issue but I am stumpt and never had this
issue before.
Many Thanks
Daniel
