I have a blu ray player and a HDTV hooked up to my PC via VGA at 1920x1080. My videocard does not support HDCP.
Can i still play blu-rays over VGA or will it not look as good? Movies play with or without any hd dvd being used so far im not impressed with blu-ray quality.
But i don't think im seeing true blu-ray maybe i need to go hdmi-dvi plus anydvdHD? Im going by watching terminator 2 on blu-ray.
I have it on DVD as well. The blu-ray dvd is not as fuzzy and has somehwhat more detail.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

You have to use the HDMI output of Blu-ray players for HD resolution playback (1280x720 or 1920x1080).
Are you talking about a BD-ROM drive? -

But you might want to consider purchasing a slightly older video card that has hdmi and supports hdcp. If your not into gaming you won't need the fastest and newest. If you like nvida try looking for a used 8400. I am pretty certain all in that model number range are hdmi with hdcp. I don't know what the equivalent number is for ati.Donatello - The Shredder? Michelangelo - Maybe all that hardware is for making coleslaw?
