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

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 ....
