Playing Copy-Protected DVDs (1 Viewer)

[revs]

MediaPortal Version: Current SVN
MediaPortal Skin: ReVision
Windows Version: XP SP2
MPEG2 Video Codec: Various
MPEG2 Audio Codec: Various

Could someone let me know which codec is required to get Copy Protected DVDs to work?

Currently I get a black screen and sound. I tried DVD43, but that didnt seem to help.

I have PowerDVD7 installed, and tried selecting PDVD7 Codecs as the dvd player (as PDVD plays the dvd's fine) but I still got a black screen and only audio.

In case it makes any difference the DVD is 24 Season 4

Thanks!

I use the Intervideo codec. Sometimes there is a black picture, too. Then I go to the Start Menu of the DVD via context menu of MP. This normally helps.

NP.

Never tried it myself, but ppl. (like Knutinh) highly recommend it.

To bad it is commercial.
