Solve : blu-ray from PC?

Answer»

hi,i recently bought a used projector from a friend and i want to play blu-ray through it,this is an old projector and only has a VGA analogue that i can use.My question is, if i buy a blu-ray driver will i be able to play the disc from the VGA of my PC card to the projector,and will i get 1080p from the VGA?A friend of MINE says it wont work because of the HDCPproblem.But i read elsewhere that HDCPonly works with dvi and Hdmi.If i cant play through VGA its not worth buying the driver so if anybody can help me i really appreciate it.Thanks.if the projector does not support HDMi or high-def, then no it is not worth it at all.i already play 1080p HD and it looks great!!!My question is will it play 1080p from blu-ray???It should play at the highest quality available from the blu-ray, however, to get smooth playback you should have a blu-ray compatible graphics card as well, or a very POWERFUL processorQuote from: Kurtiskain on MAY 03, 2009, 05:24:52 AM

thanks for your answers.The thing i'm worried about is the HDCP thing.My card has HDCP
but supposedly the projector has to have it too but mine doesnt .I know it doesnt work on tv sets without HDCP which are connected through HDMI but will it work from VGA on my projector?Sorry, I have never heard of HDCP, only HDMi. I will go use WIKIPEDIA... ok I am back.

From what I read, VGA does not support High-Def, and also is not limited by HDCPQuote from: Kurtiskain on May 03, 2009, 10:36:45 PM

can you explain what you mean by that?
if you mean i wont get a real HD digital signal its true of course since VGA is analogue.
i know that,the question is what kind of signal will the player send to my graphics card?will it be 1080p ,1080i,or downscaled to 480p(ntsc)-576p(pal)???the card will then change it of course to the desktop resolution,which can be 1920X1080 the HD. But will it be close to the real thing or some upscaled signal?It will send the highest possible signal, I am not too knowledgeable with Blu-Ray yet, but it should still send at HD quality, and as long as your card can process it, it will keep it
