avoiding matrox copyright protection?

[Migou]

The command for macrovision to start is at the begining of the movie...
but AFTER all menus... (at the beginig of all menus ???)

if you return to a menu or it's not the begining of the REAL movie, the macrovision command might be started again...

I tried it with PowerDVD, WinDVD and Cinemaster.... but i think Xing doesn't allow it...

another thing... maybe it's Movie-related..
so far, the ones i've played worked... but nothing stops the producer for putting the macrovision command anywhere else IN the movie... ( i think..)

hope this helps..
BTW i have Videotools 1.51e and powerdesk 5.3

I tried at the middle of the movie, and it's the same thing....

it isn't another way to remove macrovision ?

anybody knows a patch to do this ?

thanks for your answer

Ok,
one last thing to try..


You said "changing settings like brightnes"...

i don't know if you can change settings of the "monitor" ( TV OUTPUT of dualhead )
"This" is the setting that i'm talking about..

You must force the matrox driver to display a color bar, or a pattern ( to adjust the dimentions of tvout )

in my drivers ( marvel g200tv ) i have to go to " MONITOR SETTINGS " while my TVOUT is "ON" ..

if i just change brightness or contrast.. nothing happens...

Good luck..

As for a patch, i've searched everywhere...
i don't think it exist... for now...

I tried everything, but it's always the same thing.... I changed resolution of display propreties, but nothing happends... I haven't found any monitor settings of TV-output...

I know I'm stating the obvious here guys but..

If you don't want to get caught up in Macrovision problems then avoid Matrox
