pioneer dvd/macrovision agp
Posted by Mike Ballard on December 23rd, 2003



Haven't really found anything so I don't know if this is old news or what,
but I bought my first DVD-ROM drive (Pioneer 16x, model DVD-120) and the
back of the box under "Requirements" says:

Macrovision Compliant AGP graphics car (PCI may perform up to 30%
slower) with hardware overlay support.

Is this one of the new crippled pieces of hardware the movie industry
wants everyone to build? Are all DVD-ROM drives like this now? If this
is crippled hardware I don't want it and want to replace it with something
useful.
