I have a HDTV .. a regular DVD player, and Regular DVD-r's.
If I burn a hd video onto a regular dvd and have component hookups in my dvd player .. will it play in HD?
or do I need the HD dvds.. and/or special dvd player?
are there special burners for HD dvds? or do any dual layered burners work for burning HD dvds?
if I have a video card on my pc with DIV out.. and my TV only has HDMI.. and I buy a dvi to hdmi converter.. will I lose any quality?
No you shouldn't. You can buy a DVI to HDMI cord from monoprice.com for an absolute shit price.Quote:

I personally have no idea how to play ripped HD-DVD movies (or rip them in the first place).Quote:

You can play the video files in 480p but not high def. (ie, 720p or 1080i), you need a upconverting DVD player or a modded Xbox :) for HD upconversion, also you need a component or HDMI cable for the Xbox or upconverting DVD player (Xbox only supports component, obviously).
hooking up with DVI to VGA will give u a nice picture for HD stuff. thats if ur HDTV has a VGA which most likely it will.
give that a try play a few HD trailers or films if u got any and see what u think :)
i thort that looked very impressive and didnt bother with any DVI to HDMI cables.
btw on price for cables dont be fooled into getting $50 cables :lol: cheap cables do the job fine. the signel eather gets to the tv or it doesnt with this kind of thing its not like analog where it goes fuzzy nd shit if it fails to get a good signel.
nero is the best
Lol, don't buy Monster Cables! Seriously, don't do it. They are wayyyy overpriced.Quote:
