I just copied this statement . . ."Due to DRM restrictions, Blu-ray movies will not playback via DVI if the video card and display aren’t HDCP compliant"
from . . .http://news.softpedia.com/news/Sony-Blu-Ray-Burner-BWU-100A-36971.shtml

Does anybody know if my video card is HDCP capable? (And how to find out what video card I have?-its a Dell Optiplex GX270)

From what I have been reading, without the HDCP compliant video card, I will not be able to use my Blu-ray at the full 1920 x 1080 resolution. Does anybody know if this is true?

At the moment I am just using my VGA connection from the computer to the projector. Will the VGA cable be capable of the full HD(1920 x 1080 res)? I dont have a DVI connection video card yet, but after a few attempts,(with only the VGA cable) I have gotten the projector res up to 1152 x 864. At least thats what the projector says.

How do I get my Sony Blu-ray BWU-100A burner to output the full 1080 x 1920 res of my Blu-ray movies? Is my video card capable?(How do I find out what my video card is?)

As far as I know, my Optoma EP910 projector is HDCP compliant, so I just need to know about my video card and if the VGA connection will work, or what max res it work at?
 
Hdcp

The simplest way to check (on windows XP) is to go into display properties and click on the settings tab, then it should say "1.(Multiple Monitors) on ________)" this will tell you what graphic card you have. All Nvidia 8*** and ATI/AMD HD 2***series cards are are HDCP compliant. Some Nvidia 7*** and ATI/AMD X1***series cards are are HDCP compliant. As far as I know any Nvidia 6*** and ATI/AMD X*** series cards or earlier are are NOT HDCP compliant. Google your specific card to double check.

Hope this helps
