Nvidia Drivers Enforce Macrovision's Rules

Posted by michael on from the you-lose dept.

Ant writes "According to 'Nvidia Macrovision DVD-TV rules forced on consumers', Nvidia drivers 41.09 and onwards include 'stringent checks' to comply with Macrovision requirements. That could mean if you have a TV encoder that does not support Macrovision, you may well get an error message depending on what DVD software player you are using, the company has said."

  1. Windows or Linux? by farrellj · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I personally don't play DVDs under Windows, my main platform is Linux. Has anyone confirmed this DRM has been included in the Linux Drivers, and if it really works?
