Hey, I've got a Toshiba SD-M1212 (B) 6X DVD-ROM.

I've NEVER gotten it to play normal DVD movies.  While it can read the files
(off an unencrypted DVD), most of the time it either says it has problems
"unlocking the CSS encryption" or just plain crashes DVD movie software.
Plus, I've tried all different kinds of software (WinDVD, XingDVD,
Cyberlink, etc..)  The DVD works fine when reading CD-ROM's though.  Also I
am sure that the region settings are correct.

I sent the drive back to Toshiba after lots of pain and suffering, only to
receive another drive that did the same thing.

Also, I used the drive in 4 different systems (roommates') and never got it
to play DVD's.  I am fairly sure my software is set up as well, since I
temporarily tried a Creative DXR drive and it worked perfectly the second I
plugged it in with the existing software/setup.

Has anyone ever seen this drive work, ever?  What was your system config,
and which DVD software + version # did you use?

Also if you have any tips on getting it to play DVD's, that would be helpful
too.

Thanks.

-DoRon
