    Cable? hdmi to dvi

    Hello All,

    Will this cable work for Blu-ray & HD-DVD? Will this give us a true HD picture or a converted one?

    I tried to use a hdmi to dvi cable with a comcast cable box. This didn't work, horrible converted picture. We switched back to the dvi to dvi box.

    Those boxes are notorious for bad/finnicky HDMI outputs :roll: HDMI to DVI "should" work fine for BD/HD-DVD, just know you'll lose any audio trasnmitted over HDMI when you convert it to DVI

      Just be sure your TV/projector has DVI with HDCP- otherwise, it's a no-go. HDCP is the digital encryption/content protection system. Stanard PC monitors and many early DVI input TV's don't have HDCP.

      You may be better off using component, as there is no ICT flag set on most of the current planned disks preventing full resolution over component video. that may change in time.
