Quick question about DVI DVD Player |
| Fuknsuk posted 2004 Mar 14 21:58 |
| I'm planning to buy a DVD Player that support DVI connection (upconverts to 720p and 1080i)
I've read a few reviews of the players that support such feature, but I still can't find the answer to my question. Is it true that upscaling to 720P/1080i will only work on retail DVD and not copied/burned DVD? I don't know if that is the case, some of the post i've read seem to suggest so. Could someone please provide a detailed explanation as to why and are there any method to get around it? Right now I'm planning to go with LG DV7832 http://www.2001audiovideo.com/dvds_01/DV7832.html Just wanted to know all the facts before purchasing the unit Any feedback will be appreciated, tia |

| i cant tell you about that unit -- but i can about the samsung 931 which does the same thing -- i have a couple of these units...
it all depends how they implement the digital protection .. the bravo bypasses it and the samsung doesnt ... in other words -- it will not work unless your video projector or plasma or hdtv rear view or hdtv crt has HDCP (high-bandwidth digital content protect) you should check hardware compatability -- because if the display screen doesnt have it -- you get no upsampling .. and i think the LG works the same way .... as for your own material -- i have been able to play it with no problems... there are rumours of a way to bypass HDCP -- which is a real pain for us to test different equipment .. ALL high end video projectors don't have it ... i have a workaround -- but its not cheap ... but allows me to use all HDTV display equipment .... see some more info here http://www.projectorpeople.com/tutorials/HDCP_DVI.asp |
