subject: Vista DRM

From: "Geo." 

So I got vista working with high def video, however after hours of trying
it's become clear to me that the drm is kicking in if I try to play HD
content in anything but Windows Media Player. Probably because the other
players are not written to interface with the DRM system. I can't imagine
why they would need to considering the fact that none of the video is DRM'd
but that's certainly how it appears to me.

I have confirmed that the codecs needed are present and being used by all
the media players, they play lower resolutions but soon as I pass the
threshold I get black screen playback in everything but WMP.

Anyone got any suggestions? I hate WMP.

Geo.
