Bit of an odd un prolly, but I'm upgrading my PVR box before I have a HDTV and was going to drop in a BR drive and an XFX 4830, but I was wondering how BR content would cope with being punted out over the SVID connection. Will it work at all or will HDCP block it?

HDCP over SVID
- Thread starter enigmo
- Start date
Almost deffinatly break HDCP - it _might_ or might not still work as currently HDCP has a VGA fallback mode - which the SVID might be able to use not sure... but the plans are in future to degrade content quality when using fallback :|
Or you could get a copy of anyDVD HD
If your serious about HDCP compatibility then get a GPU with native HDMI output... the dongles usually break HDCP too even the ones that are supposedly certified for HDCP pass through.

Ta for that. I guess I'll just give it a go. I'm not overly fussed about full HDCP compatibility unless it means BR discs won't play. The card I'm after has both SVID and DVI with a HDMI adaptor outputs, so the idea was to upgrade the box and be able to play BR discs from the off and eventually change the TV and start using the HDMI output instead. It's not a tragedy if it doesn't as I only have one BR film 
It should play fine.
HDCP is copy protection to stop people easily making perfect digital copies.
SVID is an analogue signal so the Disc should play fine but the conversion from digital to analogue and back will loose some detail since SVID will not have the required signal bandwidth for Full HD.
