Problems playing DVDs

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

When I try to watch a DVD movie, imagen keeps freezing
and/or sound and video are not in phase. I believe the
DVDs have some protection coding that Windows XP cannot
read... Looked for patches but couldn't find any thing.

What should I do?

Sounds like the MacroVision problem that still haunts some users of VHS
tapes. Look at the DVD and see if it sports the MacroVision label.

Just like on VHS - MacroVision can not be removed or bypassed.

There are no computers available that will disable macrovision. There are
"boxes" and software that will do this...however be aware that it is
technically illegal to do so , even if just making a backup for personal
use.
