Recently my I think dvds have been using some new copy protection normally not a problem except for the fact that this new stuff is stopping dvds from being watched on 2 out of 3 of the dvd players in my house. Seems to be mostly disney movies but now more often others as well. I know its a problem with the copy protection because if i make a copy of the movie and remove the copy protection it plays fine in all the dvd players. Odd stuff happens with the orignal like it will skip whole chapters or play them in the wrong order. The main dvd player is a LG RC199h dvd vhs combo. And of course they have no firmware updates for it.

So basicly the copy protection is stopping us from doing everything but... making a copy of the movie. I really dont want to have to make copies of movies just to watch rentals. Just drives me nuts. I know nothing can really be done without a firmware update to fix it So im really just wondering if anyone else has had any trouble with this. Anyone run into anything like this?
