[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 66828, member: 18181"] Would you buy an HD-DVD/Blue Ray drive if you couldn't play back ALL possible content? I sure wouldn't at around $40 per movie! While your statement may be true, the reality is that you are going to need it if you want to play ALL content. Since the article is talking about HD-DVD, Blue Ray and HDCP which were designed for HD movies which at least some are likely to be compressed with H.264 I think it's safe to say that in the context of the article the quote is accurate. BTW, I notice you have a series 7 NVidia card which is supported by the NVidia PureVideo HD drivers. I think I have to agree there. At the very least I'd like to wait for the 2nd or third generation drives which should be much better. Yes but if you just want to stick in a disk and play it, software like DVD Decrypter will not work since that takes time. If you don't mind waiting then you just need to be able to play back the video the software outputs. You could down convert the video to whatever format your PC could handle. [/QUOTE]
