Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because it is not possible to turn on analog copy protection on the output display. Try installing an updated driver for your video card.

Also go to DIVX.com and DL their latest drivers and player but keep your WMP as default if you want, but DIVX will give you the needed plugins for a lot of things u want to play and if u can't open your "PORN" with WMP then the DIVX player will do it for you :P

Also, try using VLC

Aha, u didn't say that u were outputting to a TV initially. Changing the res makes sense as there's only certain aspect ratios and res that is compatible.
