Ok so my girl works at a video store and brought over a few DVDs to watch last night.

Every time i tryed 2 of the 4 the DVD player (i tryed Interactual and the ATI DVD player) came up with a error code saying that "the MACROVISION initiater failed" (or somethng like that).

Is this telling me these are copied DVD?

I'd be willing to bet that you hooked up your computer to the TV via TV out. Some DVD's don't like this.

Welll i didnt try POWER DVD (the drive came with it) because i have a ATI 9700AIW that has all the DVD software built into it.

IS power DVD suppost to have better DVD playig support?
