If you are looking for a free/no cost fix then you're out of luck. HDCP requires a bit of hardware in the display. You can't get round that.

You could look in to ripping the BDs to another format that you can play.

If you just want a simple fix to make your BD player talk to a non-compatible TV/monitor then you need to spend money on a hardware solution. Budget £100 - £190


edit: Oh yes....I almost forgot. You'll find lots of people selling HDMI to VGA or Component leads on Ebay. They don't work. HDMI is a digital signal. VGA or Component is analogue. Making one in to the other requires some processing electronics. It can't be done with just a bit of wire. Don't waste your money

i have a dvi connector only,dont need hdmi do i?

HDMI always includes HDCP handling and is always digital too.

DVI can be analogue or digital. If it's digital it can be with or without HDCP.

AnyDVDHD +1

MakeMKV may also be able to decrypt blurays and is free (for now) BUT I don't think it works on all titles.

[kevbiss1]

[masterluke]
