I do have a legal right to circumvent copy protection for making legitimate backup copies if I own the Blu-Ray disc. I so far am not dealing with Blu-Ray discs. I'm merely trying to replace the AMD Radeon HD5450 that burned out, second time, which was installed in my desktop computer. I don't care about plugging in HD tv's and if I want a second monitor, I have a VGA plug on the motherboard. Don't confuse my video card burning out again with a separate project I'm working on to build a Linux based set top box. For the set top box, I'm merely trying to set the computer up on one of the inputs of an HDTV and I have numerous movies ripped to m4v files sitting on a local hard drive. Hopefully, overscan won't be a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 220 low profile card I'm getting. I also have pictures on the set top computer. Even Blu-Ray players get to be a royal pain if you have any decent number of Blu-Ray discs. This is what large hard drives are for. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

(Also, I don't believe anything with an open driver will do the acceleration you want, but I would put less faith in that assertion than the licensing one. :) Personally? I would just buy a Blu-Ray player box if I wanted to watch the things. Any real computing platform is going to make it way, way more pain than just pirating the content would be.

[PLUG] Blu-Ray nonsense...
Are most or all PCI express video cards these days designed for encrypted Blu Ray disc compatibility? I don't want to deal with anything encrypted and I certainly don't want a video card that will keep me from viewing certain content. This is one reason why a lot of folks stay away, far away, from Windows. I'm looking for a high end PCI express graphics or at least one that doesn't require proprietary drivers to work under Linux. The card must have an HDMI port and I prefer that that be all that it has. I have an onboard vga port, so if I want a second monitor, I can use that. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
