    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently tried to launch a video on Cnn.com. However, it did not detect WMP 9, which I recently installed. What is the problem here? Why is my WMP not detected??

I have some mwv files on my mac and I do have WMP installed, but once I try to open the files I get the whole "This application quit unexpectedly" thing. What's up with that?

"WMP is the suck".
