Macrovision

[Artur Correia]

Hy
I'm currently using vlc to play dvd on my box.
It's a PIII 1Ghz, 256 MB Ram,
Video: Riva TNT 2, w/ TV Out
I'm using windows for now, but I'll be running Linux as soon as I can 
get TV Out configured on Linux.

The initial purpose of this configuration was to have a tool at home 
that would enable me also to watch DVD on my television.
It seems that RIVA TNT comes out shipped with a Chronotel video encoder 
chip #7008, wich supports Macrovision copyright protection system. Thios 
means I can't use the TV Out function.

The only player that successfully does this it's VLC. Congratulations. 
Keep up the good work.
One thing that puzzles me it's this: I can only read some of my DVD. On 
others VLC just hangs. Any idea why? I think this must be related also 
with macrovision...
Can you give me some help here??
Thanks

Artur
