    The last Macrovision "feature" in the drivers--R.I.P

    Here we go again...Another candidate for the Darwin awards.
    http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/For...ML/001480.html

    Read toward the bottom of the thread where this Helpful fella FOR NO REASON RELATED TO HIS PROBLEM spills out on the public forum the last macrovision disbler. From here on, there's nothing left but hack city.
    Save your old drivers. Tech support HAS to turn these things in when they are posted.

      Ignorance can do so much damage!

      I did notice that as of this morning, you can now e-mail folks posting in over there, just like you can on the MURC. Might be a good idea for us ALL to browse around over there and cut these idiots off when they post this garbage by e-mailing them and telling them to delete their stupid post.

          I think I missed something here. It seems that you all have some idea of what that guys troubles were. Apparently he stumbled across some obscure fix for it that you guys seem to know about that Matrox now has to remove.

          Would someone please explain this further? I honestly want to understand what happened and what this guy did that you upset you.

          Thanks

            you know about Macrovision? If not: It's a protection that makes it impossible to tape anything played over the TV-output of the G400, and there is no normal way to turn it of.

            Until now, every driver had some kind of 'trick' trhough which you could disable Macrovision. However, as soon as someone posts this trick on the Matrox TS forum, they are legally forced to fix the way to disable Macrovision...

            I bet you understand why everyone is angry about this person now, don't you?
