Has anybody else had this problem?
I rented the Spiderman 3 dvd yesterday from the local video store
and to my surprise the dvd would not play in media centre,
I also rented Ratatouille for the kid in me and it played just fine.
Anybody have a clue why the Spiderman 3 dvd would not play.
(and no it wasn't a Blueray or HD dvd, I checked that first)

Does it plays in a standalone player?

Does it play in Media Player (or some other DVD player on your PC)?

I was able to play Spiderman 3 DVD with no problems in Vista Ultimate MC.
Try playing the movie when not connected to the net. Maybe there is some web
enhanced content that is causing you problems.

If you google this, you will find that it is designed into vista
depending on your hardware.

Hi Jaime,

Hi Bill,
I'll try playing it not connected to the net,
But doesn't that defeat the purpose of web content,
no pun intended, but thanks for the suggestion,

Hi Mike,
I googled it and found only some stuff on region codes,
can you post a link as to what you are referencing?
I'm in Canada so my region is the same as the USA

google.....vista-drm or vista-copy protection

P.S. I believe that Canada and the US are both region 1

I know that you said it wasn't an hd-dvd but it still could have been
embedded this this type of drm crap.

Hi Mike,
thanks for the link, but it looks to me that all of them are for
XP and older ksuser.dll fixes, i'm not sure I want to mess with my dll files
because
of something SONY put on there crappy DVD (the movie was of the same quality
too) I think Microsoft is letting the movie industry decide whether or not to
apply these silly DRM's cause so far of all the dvd movies I've seen in media
centre
this is the first that didn't work. If the problem gets worse i'm sure
Microsoft will have to step in and remedy the solution, otherwise their
software wil get the brunt of the blame.
