HDCP help

[thecremeegg]

I have an Nvidia 260GTX and intend to get a bluray drive for my pc. In order to play blurays I assume that I cannot use DVI?

So would the best thing to do be to get a DVI to HDMI dongle and plug in and HDMI lead, or would say a DVI to HDMI cable suffice?

Cheers

In order to watch HDCP video you need a HDCP capable graphics card, a HDCP capable monitor and the necessary software. You can use either HDMI or DVI; however DVI only carries the video whereas HDMI carries both video and audio.

I'm pretty sure my monitor supports HDCP over both HDMI and DVI, so I don't think you have to use HDMI in order to watch HDCP blurays, someone will correct me if I'm wrong on that though.
