OK a lot of people have been saying that you can use the Cinemaster DVD
player with the version 1.28 dll's to disable the macrovision for this card.
Now I know this works for the ATI cards but it doesn't work on the G400-TV
card that I use.
The WinDVD2000 is also supposed to allow macrovision to be disabled when a
"TV out" patch is applied. Again this works for the ATI card but NOT for the
G400-TV when I tried it.

Now I am aware that my card may be different to the card that others are
using so I have to ask this question. Has ANYONE who has given this advice
actualy tried it and had success? I have tried them and they do not work on
my system. The Macrovision signal is still there.

Is there another option (apart from an external Macrovision buster box which
I already have but would like to do away with)?. Where is this signal
generated? Is it on the card itself (I now suspect it is because the
software hacks didn't work)?. If so does anyone know how to hack the card
itself?

I've tried the 1.0.28 with the Matrox DVD Player. It worked fine. But
Macrovision was still there. I've tried many things (the WinDVD patch and so
on) and Macrovision won't leave the NTSC signal. I've never had a problem
with Macrovision and PAL though, not even with the original Cinemaster engine
that came with the card.

I guess some modification to the PowerDesk software is needed too, in order
to get rid of NTSC Macrovision.

I have a G400 32 meg dualhead, and using windvd2000 works fine.
maybe because dualhead it works, not got a g400 tv.

Hi there,

Ditto here with G400 Max in the UK, tried all the above with the same
results - but with PAL.

Any ideas why you don't have any problems with PAL?

Cheers, Julian.

I have been trying to get rid of macro for weeks.

So, here I am 3 weeks down the line and considering selling the
card for any decent offer, its really <expletive deleted> me
off, I doubt I will ever touch another matrox product, the
marvel is not that damn good after all, a damn jack of all
trades with no hope for any real use.

I searched this newsgroup and found an answer.

If you start a movie playing and then pause it.

get into display properties.

got to the Monitor settings tab.

click adjust settings button (top button)

wait until the screen changes and when offered choices, Hit
cancel 3 times.

go play the movie and the macrovision is gone.

worked everytime since then.

I was ready to sell my card when I discovered this cheap (free)
workaround that required no cracks or hacks.
