DRM Implementing Bastards
So you just bought or built a brand new shiney media center PC only to find that, oh shit, I can't play 3/4 of the DVDs ever made on it. Welcome to the world of DRM (Digital Rights Management), where it just so happens 3/4 of DVD publishers prevent the playback of DVDs through any video outputs designed for a TV. This includes, especially, component and S-Video. Well, today's your lucky day as there is a solution and a very good one at that. Head over to DVDIdle.com and grab a copy of DVD Region+CSS Free: http://www.dvdidle.com/dvd-region-free.htm Once installed this sweet app will let you watch any protected DVD you could imagine through your TV outputs, yes, including component and S-Video.

Does it let you do a straight s-video out from the original dvd or do you have to rip the dvd and then play the non-css dvd? I could tell from the product description. I really hope it's the former.
The software bypasses the CSS crap and lets you do straight video out. I'm using component video and haven't tried S-Video but if your problem is that CSS is preventing your S-Video out from working then this software should solve it. You can download a free trial and try it before you buy it just to make sure.
