I installed the VLC Media Player, and now I can play DVDs.

This eliminates any question the problem is with my DVD player, video
card, or drivers.

Apparently this player does not voluntarily comply with the Macromedia
Flash copy protection that is causing problems for so many people who
are just trying to watch a movie. (Or maybe it's implementing it
correctly, and PowerDVD is not.)

If somebody knows how to convice PowerDVD that I really don't have a TV
out, and it's not enabled, that would be great, because I prefer the
features of PowerDVD. I have not idea why it quit working (I did try
reinstalling it). (The video card on the motherboard uses the Sis 630
chipset, and I tried three different versions of available drivers,
from 2.08a to 4.something.)
