Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

Upgraded from 7300se to 8600gts, and now using a DVI connection instead of
VGA. Used to be able to play DVDs through Media Centre or WMP11, but now I
recieve the error C00D1163 - that "there is a problem with digital copy
protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card". I have the
newest nVidia drivers, newest soundcard drivers. Any ideas - I'm using Vista
Home Premium 32bit.

Oh and DVDs play fine through PowerDVD or VLC, but I want to be able to use
Media Centre because I have a remote - and also out of principal that I can't
fix it!

Re: Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

The newer video cards have Digital Copy Protection on the DVI outlets ..this
is new in VISTA
You now need a new LCD monitor with HDCP support..........or just continue
to use PowerDVD

Re: Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

But when I bought the new graphics card, it never mentioned that I would need
a new monitor to watch DVDs - I thought the HDCP was for HD video?

If it is the case, shouldn't the graphics card manufacturer have told me this?

Re: Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

Switch back to the VGA connection you won't loose any resolution detail and
you might not even notice if you have a minor degradation of color quality.

Re: Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

The new graphics card is dual dvi - no VGA, so I can't use a VGA conection...

Re: Graphics Card upgrade killed DVD playback

You can however use a DVI to VGA adaptor. If one did not come with the card
then you can buy one at Radio Shack.
