Just a heads up. I recently received a DVD movie from Netflix. Wanted to
play it on my PC as small children were about the TV, (horror/gore). To my
astonishment, the PC (xp sp2) could not "see" any media. Also tried
Millenium and 98SE. Verified with purchased DVD movies, that nothing was
wrong. They worked fine.
After finding a buried email link at the netflix site, wrote them of the
problem. Excerpt of their email response: "All of our discs come directly
from the studios they are produced by. Netflix in no way alters any of the
discs before they are sent to our members. Most newer DVDs have a form of
copy right protection encoded on to the disc this is called Macrovision.
This copy right protection will not allow these discs to play on a DVD-ROM
or CPU. This is a way to prevent the copying of DVDs."
