As the title suggests, I've run into a problem with Media Player Classic on Windows 8 - I get a "Copy-protection Fail" message when I try to load certain DVDs.
Now, I must mention that these are not illegal burnt DVDs or anything like that. They're store-bought, and have worked before. In fact, the latest one to have this problem was a disc with 6 episodes of a TV show on it. I had watched the first 3 episodes, shut down and did other stuff, then tried reloading the disc to watch episodes 4 and beyond - when I got that message.
Rebooting the computer doesn't fix it. Now, I know it's not the disc that is broken, because I can get it to play just fine in PowerDVD 10, which I also have on this computer.
I'd like to find out what the actual problem is, as I actually prefer Media Player Classic as a program - except for this one problem.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
