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."

    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?
