msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Has anyone tried connecting a Playstation 3 to a computer monitor with a HDMI to DVI converter ? My monitor is far too old to support HDCP but I don't know if I need it or not for playing a game. _________________________ Matt

Developer kits have a way of turning this off, but don't support any kind of movie playback. I think HDCP was embedded at such a deep layer to try and prevent BluRay movie piracy, due to the native Linux support and other slightly open aspects of the system.
