Hi,
I get the following error when trying to play a DVD movie with
PowerDVD:
Error Code F4D41436
The TV Out port of your display card is not working properly.
(Detailed) This copy protected disc can not be played when the TV out
function is enabled.
RealPlayer said it can't play the DVD and suggested changing the screen
resolution, shutting down other programs, and reinstalling the video
drivers.
interActual 2.0 Player gave the following error: Error PL4007:
InterActual Player is unable to initialize your DVD decoder for
playback.
I had no problem playing DVDs just a few days ago. I've played dozens
and never had a single problem.
I searched Google and found page after page of people asking how to fix
this, with no really good answers. Some people suggested going to a
specific site if they had an ATI or other specific brand of video card
to get an OLDER copy of the driver. On my computer the video card is
part of the mother board. THERE IS NO S-VIDEO OR OTHER TYPE OF TV OUT
PORT. Windows says the video adaper is: SIS 630/730, and the driver is
SIS630M.DRV (SIS630M.VXD, VMM32.VXD listed below that). Another person
said to install DVDIdle. I did that, and still got exactly the same
error message.
[This is the history. DVDs used to play okay. All of them (dozens).
Yesterday the computer didn't acknowledge I had put a DVD in the drive.
Different software would not read the disk. I could not list any files
on the DVD by right clicking the drive icon and selecting "Explore." I
called the manufacturer, told them this, and told them CDs worked okay.
He said the DVD laser was out, and to send it in for a replacement. (He
didn't ask me to do a single diagnostic check.) I didn't want to be
without a drive for 3 weeks, so I put a lens cleaner disk in the drive,
and now the computer recognizes the disks, and I can list the files,
and reads data files, but I can't play movies.]
Any help greaty appreciated.
