I'm not trying to pirate Blu-Ray discs. 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 [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
