Blue Ray via VGA (1 Viewer)

[digitalfm]

Hi, I am looking to buy the Pioneer BDC-202BK Blue Ray DVD Rom for my HTPC but have one question.

I'll be using a DVI to VGA lead to connect my Gigabyte 256MB 8600GTS Silent Pipe III to my Samsung LCD. The LCD has HDMI but I just find the sharpness through the VGA port is slightly better when both set to 720p.

Will there be any problems running BlueRay movies from the DVI port on the graphics card into the VGA input of the TV? Any HDCP issues?

Any one already doing this?

Thanks

Not answering your q, but:
The reason that VGA is sharper than HDMI is probably due to lack of 1:1 pixelmapping.

What model is your LCD? Perhaps there is a way of achieving 1:1 ...

You probably can't get any picture for blu-ray movies via VGA. Yes, because of HDCP. You may bypass that protection for some discs with anydvd but it simply prevents viewing some other blu-ray titles so I wouldn't count on that. You should really check that pixelmapping thing, with HDMI-link you get much better colors as there's no analog link between (and there shouldn't be when all devices are digital).
