HELP PLEASE: Failed to enable HDCP. <- Fixed: see post # 25 - Blu-ray Forum

russianwolfy · 10-13-2007, 11:13 PM

Hello All,

I'm new to the whole Blu-Ray PC setup.. Below are my system specs:

Motherboard: Asus Striker Extreme nVidia 680i SLI
CPU: Intel Quad Core Q6600 8MB Cache
Video Card: Asus EN8800ULTRA/HTDP/768M/A GeForce 8800 ULTRA 768MB DDR3 PCI Express, HDTV HDCP
Optical Drive: Sony Blu-Ray Burner BUW-100A
HP HP100 HD-DVD External Drive
Monitor: Dell 30" 3007WFP-HC
Vista Ultimate 32Bit with nVidia Forceware 163.69.
PowerDVD Ultra v7.3

I'm trying to play Blu-Ray & HD DVD movies on my PC but i can't. I run PowerDVD and try to play a movie and all i get is this message "Fail to enable HDCP. Please switch to analog output (VGA, D-Sub) and try again. (Error Code = 0110)" in both BD & HD.
I have no idea what that is.. i tried researching the internet for some answers but couldnt find anything. One site recommended that i install ****** HD and i did... and when its enabled i can only run HD DVD movies which ran smooth and problem free. But still get the same error when running Blu-Ray movies with ****** HD enabled.

A scan on the Cyberlink Advisor gives me all green lights (in both BD/HD) except a gray light (which means unknown) next to the graphics card which is the nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra and RED light (which means NO) next to the Video Connection Type saying : "Digital (Without HDCP)".

I'm very frustrated and sad and i now currently have a useless blu-ray drive which i bought for a lot of money sitting in my PC doing nothing and i'm very anxious to watch my humble collection of 20 BD/HD movies that i own.

Please help me with your knowledge and expertise. I beg you.

Thanx in advance.

Is this a Dell PC or did you cobble this together yourself from parts at Frys?

russianwolfy · 10-13-2007, 11:28 PM

No, i assembled this PC myself. Everything else is running great.
I'm only missing playing Blu-Ray / HD -DVD movies.

gvortex7 · 10-13-2007, 11:46 PM

You're not using a dual monitor setup are you?

russianwolfy · 10-13-2007, 11:53 PM

No, just that one Dell 30" LCD monitor.

Manco · 10-14-2007, 12:07 AM

Are you sure the monitor and the graphics card are connected via a DVI cable. That's a requirement for HDCP.

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:09 AM

Yes. The monitor and graphics card are connected via DVI.

gvortex7 · 10-14-2007, 12:17 AM

Worst case scenario, if all else fails, you could you use ******* from ***** to remove HDCP from the movies. This way HDCP compatibility will be a non-issue.

Of course, you'd have to run that for all the movies you'll view on your pc, but it's not that time consuming.

Firstly I would remove one of the HD dirves. As you said the HD-DVD was external, that would be the obvious one. What resolution are you running the card at? If greater than 1920x1080 set your resolution to that and see if it works, if it does try 1920x1200, I don't think Power DVD will work at a higher resolution.
Don't forget to set the monitor to native aspect ratio

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:21 AM

You mean RIP the movies to my HDD using ***** HD ?? But thats not a solution. Each movie takes about 60-90 minutes to be ripped to the HDD..

If you didn't mean Ripping the movies, then i've tried ***** HD with playing an HD DVD movie using PowerDVD and it worked. But Blu-Ray didnt work. It still gives me the Failed to enable HDCP error.

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:27 AM

I removed the external HD drive. Im running at 1920x1200.. Still didnt work. Switched to 1920x1080. Also didnt work. Monitor is set to native aspect ratio. Still nothing

I don't have ****** HD or a Blu-ray drive for that matter, yet only an older version of ****** for on-the-fly DVD copying. But I don't think you have to rip the movie onto your HDD. That's the beauty of ******. It lets you run it as a background application and it does everything for you on-the-fly without having to rip any movies.

So for removing HDCP, I'm pretty sure you just have to run the application and it removes HDCP while you're watching the movie.

Have you checked to make sure that the card does not have the second output enabled? You are running a DVI-D cable (or converters into a HDMI cable)?

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:34 AM

Yes im aware of the functions of ****** HD and its ability to remove the protection on-the-fly. I did it with the HD-DVD movies and it WORKED.
Now i want to do it with the Blu-Ray movies but its NOT working..
Having it enabled and running PowerDVD still gives me that darn "failed to enable HDCP" error.

Please help.

gvortex7 · 10-14-2007, 12:34 AM

Here, check this link below for more info regarding **** HD:
****************** Link Removed - Blue

I was right, no need to rip any movies. Watch Blu-rays (or HD DVD's) without the need for HDCP compliant monitors or video cards.

So, this may be the right solution for you.

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:35 AM

How do i check to see that the card is not having the second output enabled ? I never came across that one.

In that case, you might want to contact ****** tech support. They have some of the most knowledgeable computer programmers/tech support personnel in the business. I know because I have ****** and they've helped me a lot in the past.

Go to the advanced display properties. It should tell you there whether it's enabled or not.

russianwolfy · 10-14-2007, 12:42 AM

It appears that im using only ONE output with the second one DISABLED..

Still no Blu-Ray playback.

gvortex7 · 10-14-2007, 12:52 AM

Have you ever updated your Blu-ray burner's firmware?
