One thing that should be kept in mind when acquiring equipment for future HD video playback is the support for high-bandwidth digital copyright protection (HDCP) technology: both output device and graphics card should better support it. Unfortunately, it is not easy to determine which devices support HDCP: most of high-end LCD displays do, but when it comes to lower-end and mainstream models, you have to check with the manufacturer. It is easier with the TV-sets: all the devices that are marked as “HD Ready” should support HDCP.
All of the graphics cards that have HDMI output support HDCP, but not all of the graphics cards with DVI do. There is a list of boards over an Internet forum that lists many of those devices, in spite of this, we would recommend you to double-check HDCP support on the option that you want to obtain.
In case one of the mentioned does not support HDCP, some Blu-ray discs or HD DVDs will not be performed in full resolution, but in to 540p (960x540), which would make the HD look is a bit better than 720x480 resolution of typical DVDs. Nevertheless, currently there is a program called AnyDVD HD that overrides both HDCP and advanced access content system (AACS) and allows to watch HD content on equipment that does not support HDCP.Unfortunately, some modern graphics cores cannot support 1080p output with HDCP, hence, the software may be required even when everything is HDCP-compliant. Moreover, Sony Vaio notebooks with Blu-ray drive cannot output Blu-ray movies via built-in HDMI port. It remains to be seen whether SlySoft’s AnyDVD HD cures this problem too.
