Program to watch 5.1 surround movies

I bought the new Star Wars movie, and tried to play it on my 5.1-equipped computer. All it does when I try to play the movie is show a BIG RED X... WTF is going on?

What program are you using?

PowerDVD should work

Read something Burn found that said there's some new anti-piracy shit on it- won't play without some expensive-ass shit.

well that sucks..

PowerDVD gets rid of the Big Red X, but still won't play

Try running it through this first.

It's made for dvds. but it should work with videos on your hdd too.

i remember that thread though i think burn was refferring to the new hd movies on blueray and toshibas high def. required buying an expensive monitor. try ripping it with dvd shrink then playing it on power dvd or such

Try Nero Showtime... It seems to work on everything i play, also VLC player seems to play pretty much everything but i dunno if it suports 5.1 suround.

I have intervideo winDVD but it doesn't recognize my 7.1 soundcard, so i use windows media player. You just need to configure the DVD advanced options to choose the output.

the DVD decrypter dodn't work, nothing else is working, either.... Damn you, Hollywood... DAAAAAMN YOOOOOUUUU!

Even the windows media?

Even in anything... some programming code on the DVD itself...

Have you tried updating your software with the latest releases ?
I had a similar problem when I wanted to show a DVD on someone's pc a while ago.
I updated the PowerDVD he had and prestoooo.
