When I try and play the disk on my laptop with my laptop connected to my hd panasonic TV I get a message that says This content can not be played. Its some security message. The hd dvd plays ok my laptop but not when connected to my tv

any ideas

cheers

The output on the graphic card probably isn't HDCP compliant which it needs to be in order to play them from laptop to tv

You could run a program like "AnyDVD HD" to get round it if that is indeed the cause

It doesn't say if that includes from the output, is your tv HDCP compliant as well ?

Either way it still sounds like a HDCP problem to me you can download "AnyDVD HD" and use it for 21 days so give it a try then your know if thats the cause

Sorry Any DVD HD version, tried again but American Gangsters wont play, it will play just on my laptop but not when i connect to my TV, with the laptop screen off. I tried another hd film and tht played but with no sound going through my hdmi cable.

I thought this would be easy?

What setting shouyld be in AnyDVD? is there something i am missing?

cheers

I didn't think that graphics card had a HDMI out thought it had a DVI out, DVI doesn't carry audio as standard

I had a similar problem - in my case I had to disable the laptop monitor and use just the HDMI feed to the TV - won't work if both screens are on. Had me going for a while. Works fine now but I have to switch to the HDMI output before opening the DVD s/w
