DVD digital copy protection error with WMP 9 and 11

[Baron]

I am getting a DVD digital copy protection error when trying to play a DVD
movie with Media Player 9 and 11 on XP Pro SP3. I also have PowerDVD install,
which plays the DVD fine. I ran the MS Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup
Utility, which returned green checks. What am I missing?

=============================
If you can play the DVDs with
PowerDVD...what's the problem?

If you must use Windows Media Player...
maybe the following plug-ins would be
worth a try:

I noticed that Cyberlink's PowerDVD was a plug-in on the MS link
(http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx). I have
PowerDVD installed (with codecs). Does WMP not support Cyberlink codecs?

Switched to InterVideo. Everything works perfectly now!
