okay,

i ripped a dvd, demacro'd it and all, i went to play it through powerdvd and had tv-out hooked up to my vcr, and imagine my surprise when i saw the screen get dark and bright and such. macroMOTHERFOCKINGvison... i wonder why? so anyways, i close powerdvd, and i just try recording the desktop or going in to "my computer" and other menial non-piracy tasks and recording them, but still i get marcrovision?

i have a ati all-in-wonder pci 32mb.

why would i have macrovision when i'm just trying to do record myself messing around on the comp, not trying to play any video or audio files or anything remotely illegal, just like maybe trying to show someone how to setup dial up networking or some crap like that.. sorta like a presentation..

its like there is always macrovision on my tv-out, no matter what i do.. now that is focked up
