trouble playing Blu-ray through laptop on tv

[l_jonez@hotmail.]

Hey all. Having just purchased a new dell laptop with blu-ray, i connected the laptop to my television using an HDMI cable. All was fine, but when i tried to play a blu-ray disk, a message popped up preventing it from playing, for copyright reasons, i believe. The television was being used as a clone moniter. Can anyone help me sort out my problem? Thanks to all in advance.

Hi, Jonez:

Welcome to TechIMO.

Please provide the model of your Dell, your operating system, the exact error message, and the program you are using to play Blu-Ray discs.

Thanks for the reply Osprey.
It's a dell xps M1530 , using windows vista ultimate. The program used was Dell's media direct, however, i also tried using real player, but it could not detect the disk.
The disk played fine on just my laptop, but as soon as i tried to run it through a tv, the message popped up and stopped it. I am unable to access a television till tomorrow and so will post the message then. Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Bluray movies use HDCP, something that does not allow the movie to be played on a non-HDCP supporting monitor.

I'm with Ex. What model of TV do you have?

Hi guys, I saw this forum recently and have just the problem you might be able to solve:-). I think this really is a great forum and all your help really is appreciated. I too have a problem with streaming a Bluray disc from my laptop to TV. My laptop is Acer Aspire 6920g with Win XP. TV is Phillips 42 PFL 9732 (about 1 year old) and AV receiver Yamaha RX-V663. I have a Bluray movie on my hard disc and tried to play it in PowerDVD. I wouldn't play it and said not HDCP-compliant. When I run it only on my laptop it, it plays just fine. What I can't understand is, why does it say not HDCP-compliant, since all of my hardware is HDCP-compliant? You can varify that on official sites. So please guys, I really don't know what to do and would really like to watch Blurays, because now I have good enough hardware, but still have problems:-(. If you need any more specifications about hardware, just ask. Thanks in advance.

Is your videocard output going directly to your TV? What are you using to connect them?

Tnx EXreaction, I have solved the problem. The problem was in the output. I had to set on graphic card only one copy of signal and put it on TV. Only then was it HDCP compliant.
