Hello,
I have just bought a new Liteon DH-4O1S-06C bluray drive from Scan. I have a copy of PowerDVD 9 Ultra, and trial versions of WinDVD 9 and TotalMedia Theater 3. I have a ASUS HD4850 graphics card, Samsung Syncmaster 223BW and a 32 inch panasonic TV, all of which are supposed to be HDCP compliant.
When I try and play the discs the following happens in each program:
PowerDVD says it needs to update the software, then says it has updated but still wont play.
WinDVD initially downloaded something to do with the AACS key, but then when it tried to play the disc it says it had stopped it from playing because there was an error in the AACS.
TotalMedia Theater 3 doesn't do anything when you click play.
These problems happen in both XP 32-bit and Vista 64-bit OS's.
I have downloaded the trial version of AnyDVD-HD which removes the AACS protection and the disc will then play, without sound, in my trial version of TotalMedia Theater. I think I can rip the files to pc as well, which then play in PowerDVD - but I havent done this for a whole disc yet. I am also not keen to do this really as I think AnyDVD is illegal.
Any suggestions as to how I can stop this problem from happening?
