Guest Thrawn Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 I bought the MIB DVD at Best Buy the other day, and I went home to put it into the DVD drive on my lap top. Now when I put it in, it tells me that I do not have Macrovision, and that I need to get it. I'm new to DVDs, and I have no idea what to do. Can anybody help me? ------------------ "Noobies Suck" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6
Psycho Tycho Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 Buy a DVD that goes on your TV. I suggest that. Also get many DVD's. You'll love them. X-Men looks good on a DVD Player. ------------------ "Oh mah goodness!"-SNL -PsYcHo Official Forum Psycho

Guest Vark111 Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 Not necessarily. You get a good TV with an S-Video or component video input, you'd be hard pressed to see a major difference, unless you had an HDTV sitting right next to it. ------------------ It takes all kinds... The question is, what is 'it'?
Psycho Tycho Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 It really doesn't matter what kind of TV your have. It matters that you have a DVD player at least.
Guest Thrawn Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 That's nice. I don't have a TV DVD player. IT'S ON MY COMPUTER, and I need some help. anybody? please? How about a DVD starter guide, like what to look for in a disk that is actually compatible? ------------------ "Noobies Suck" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6 [This message has been edited by Thrawn (edited February 02, 2001).]
Keyan Farlander Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 That's weird. I have no idea why it would say that. Are you using a software decoder, or is there a hardware decoder in there somewhere? [This message has been edited by Keyan Farlander (edited February 02, 2001).]
Guest Thrawn Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 Keyan, speak to me as you would a young child, for I know nothing of DVD's . The DVD drive has a chip where you put the CD it looks to me, so does that mean I have a decoder built in? And I would get macrovision if i could find it online somewhere to download. I rented a couple DVDs from Blockbuster the other day and they ran fine. ------------------ "Noobies Suck" ThRaWn90,RAL_Thrawn,SOB_Thrawn Rogue 6
Keyan Farlander Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 Actually, this could be trouble with some extra thing on the DVD when it autoruns. Try loading it in and starting the program that you use to view the DVD yourself.
Admiral Odin Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 I never had that problem. Wait I don't have a dvd player in my computer. Sorry ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb

Psycho Tycho Posted February 3, 2001 Posted February 3, 2001 Thrawn, try downloading Quicktime Player. That's what my computer told me to do and it works perfectly.
Guest Dj Skywalka Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 DVD?! Screw DVD for your computer. I got two DVD players for tv. But that's not the point. The point is DVD's are l33t. Especially Fight Club and Braveheart. SCOTTISH!!!!!! ------------------ Dj Skweejie -Two wrongs don't make a right but four lefts make a circle.

Admiral Odin Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 My mother hates braveheart. She thought he said "you may take our wives but you'll never take our freedom!!!" that was funny. I have gladiator on dvd. ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb
Psycho Tycho Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 Gladiator is a good movie. You should get some more.
JR2000Z Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 I also got the Gladiator DVD. Hey Admiral, did you find the secret trailer on the 2nd disc? It's halarious!
Admiral Odin Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 no, I'm going to watch it tomorrow though ------------------ "Dulce bellum inexpertis." (Sweet is war to those who have never experinced it.) Roman Proverb
