T2: EXTREME DVD (Terminator 2) Protection?
 

I never heard of DVD protection till now.

At the moment is there a method to disable/bypass the DRM check in dvds lol. The dvd will force you to use Windows Media Player 9 for the High-Definition viewing of disc 2.

Based on

I have no problem watching disc 1 in but for disc 2 I'm getting the idea, they check your ip & etc.

As you can see I'm not in US thus I get this lovely error.

At their site:
Q: Will the High-Definition feature (Disc 2) play on earlier versions of Windows Media Player?
A: No - the content will play on WM9S players only. When the content is first accessed, a check is done to ensure that the Windows Media Player 9 Series (WMP9S) is installed. If it is not on the machine, the user will be prompted to install it directly from the disc. The setup files do not have to be downloaded from the Internet. The reason for this requirement is that WMP9S utilizes new features that present the user with the best possible experience.

Q: Is the High-Definition feature (Disc 2) protected with any encryption?
A: The Windows Media movie on the ROM portion of this disc contains security features that require users to connect to the Internet to receive licenses for the content on the enclosed DVD. There is a 5 day unlimited play license issued to users on the specific PC used to play the content. Consumers will be able to continually renew their license for 5 days at a time, according to the terms of the End User License Agreement (EULA).

Q: Who set up the DRM protection for the High-Definition Theatrical feature (Disc 2)?
A: Artisan Home Entertainment determined the specific DRM licensing rules that were applied. The DRM services for the content on this disc are being provided by SyncCast using Windows Media Digital Rights Management.

Q: Can anyone watch the content? Are there any geographical restrictions?
A: Artisan is distributing the DVD in Region 1 (US and Canada) only at this time. The DVD-ROM follows the region restrictions in much the same way that the DVD video does. Only users in Region 1 will be able to unlock the content for viewing.

P.S. Mods if this is in wrong forum then please move it to correct 1.

my suggestion would be try to use DVDGenie and change the windows Internal DVD region to R1., and make sure it doesnt get access to the Net using a firewall.


Hope this helps.

It needs access to the net in order to play, as far as i've understood.
