So we get a drive for like $30 and then have to spend another $150 for software (PowerDVD HD and AnyDVD HD) to be able to watch movies in hi-def? Ouch.

Tested anydvd backups, working perfectly.
created files wil anydvd, then made iso files with imgburn, mounted image and played back with pdvd.
Shows still in stock!
Does this bypass the security handshake to see if the display you are using and the graphics card are HDCP compliant?
I have a truckload of HD DVD's but would like to be able to watch them on an older shuttle with XP.

I actually tried that as well but didnt have much luck.
1. Previously had PowerDVD 7.2 Deluxe installed.
2. Received the 0103 error. Installed some "fix" from Cyberlink and then received the 0107 error.
3. Installed AnyDVD - This seemed to break everything. Not only did the HD player not work, I was then unable to play ripped HD and Blu-Ray media that was stored on my HD whereas I was able to before installing AnyDVD
4. Formatted
5. Installed PowerDVD 8 - Which I then found out supports Blu-Ray but not HD-DVD :boggle:
6. Uninstalled PowerDVD 8 / Installed WinDVD. Found out that WinDVD Plus will not play HD/BR and that you need WinDVD Plus Blu-Ray
7. Uninstalled that. Reinstalled PowerDVD 7.2 - Back at square one.
8. I will try AnyDVD again at some point this week.

AnyDVD HD is blacklisted by the PowerDVD software in later v7 builds and all v8 builds of the software. You don't need AnyDVD HD for playback unless the disc has the IC token enabled and you have non-HDCP hardware (ie monitor or graphics card).

But I heard (may be wrong) that HDCP wouldn't work over DVI (even with an adapter to HDMI), only over direct HDMI output to HDMI input on HDCP-compliant monitor. Now, my 9600GT has an HDMI port built in (thank you, Palit!) but my monitor does not feature HDCP (older Samsung 204B). So am I stuck buying either a software workaround (AnyDVD HD) or else an HDCP monitor (with HDMI input) to make this drive work?
Better yet, what are the other options you refered to for a standalone box ("There are better and cheaper standalone alternatives that are easier to use.")?
Any advice is appreciated!

i already tried that exact patch - and looked all through this thread - nothing seemed to work. the only thing i havent tried is anyDVD. Is it mandatory to use AnyDVD? I'm going from my 7900GS > DVI > Olevia 37" LCD TV. I also have the Nvidia Pure Decoder installed.
