Blu-Ray drive wont play blu-ray disks??

[Dart]

I have a Samsung SH-B123L Blu-ray/DVDRW but am having problems getting it to run any blu-ray disks, using the bundled software PowerDVD 9.

I keep getting this error

"Cyberlink PowerDVD is not able to play the protected content on your digital output device. Switch to an analog output (VGA, D-Sub) and try again (Error Code = 0107)"

i believe that the software isn't seeing that your system is HDCP-compliant, just get a copy of anydvd hd and that should fix it

 

[Cullhaven]

Or What about VLC? That seems to sort out any problems I've had and you never need codecs or owt.

VLC

btone is probably right. afaik the delightful hdcp thing won't deliver hi-def to anything other than compliant devices but it's more than happy to deliver shite quality copies to other devices.

I have VLC for watching video already, but that doesnt work either, i get this error when trying to play

"This Blu-Ray disc need a library for AACS decoding, and your system does not have it."

Why isnt my computer HDCP-compliant? Whats the point buying a Blu-ray drive if I cant use it

 

[Btone]

yep , it all to do with them trying to stop people making digital copy's, the failed to do that and now legit users pay the price in having to use stuff like anydvd to use their harware/software

 

[Bunty]

you need a hdcp compliant card attached to a hdcp compliant monitor for hd afaik

 

[Dart]

I cant afford anydvd atm

 

[Btone]

u can get it free for 21 days

Or use makemkv (+ handbrake if you want an mp4)?

Cheers

 

[Bunty]

does makemkv handle protected disks? i didn't know that.

 

[Epiphany]

Yes, the only disks I've had trouble with have been badly scratched ones, but even then it's made a better job of it than any alternatives (and I've tried a few).

Cheers

 

[Dart]

hmm makemkv cost same as upgrade to powerdvd and anydvd

 

[Bunty]

isn't it free while it's still beta?

 

[Dart]

30 day trial

 

[Bunty]

yer, but the web page reckons you can just get the next key for free

 

[Epiphany]

yeah, I've been using the beta(s) for several months
