Question with Blu ray reader

[ariansworld]

I just installed a blu ray reader in my computer today. I have a 9800gt by evga, The bray video will play but will then get an error code #0107 with cyberlink power dvd, it states that I need to switch to VGA or D-sub.  At the moment I am using DVI, is it not compatible?

It's probably your monitor.  I had the same issue and found the problem to be my Dell 2005FPW monitor not being HDCP compliant.   Switching to VGA may help but I don't know.  I ended up buying a new LCD tv for the office and now it works great.

Every component in the chain has to carry an HDCP license in order to be able to play HD content.  For a computer, it means, the video card, the monitor, and the player all have to have an HDCP licensing key in order to be able to play HD content.

Now, here is where things get even funnier.  It is up to the content to decide what should happen when everything is not HDCP compliant.  Some content may scale the image quality back, some may not play at all.  You will not know until you play it.  Fun stuff!

Oh, and most Blu-Ray content is nothing more than a normal DVD run through a 3:2 pulldown processor to up the resolution.  The same thing any of the new $100 (and less) DVD players will do for you.

And they wonder why Blu-Ray is dieing in the marketplace.
