I am SOOO tired of Macrovision. The WORST idea ever made, IMHO. I usually watch DVD's I HAVE PAID FOR on my video projector. Because of how Macrovision works (artificially weakened sync puls) I CANNOT play ANY of my legally purchased media without my screen going up and down in brightness level. This is insanely annoying to me.
I have paid for this media. Why am I being punished by Macrovision and the distribiter for *maybe* being a pirate?
The only way I can play media is using VLC to play my files, which eliminates Macrovision. This essentially leads me to rip everything I rent or buy and play that. I CANNOT play store-purchased media properly. Unbelievable. From now on I will NOT purchase or rent ANY macrovision encoded products. I will pirate my media until that changes. I do not care about "ripping" off anyone anymore because they have ripped me off for 20 years.
