I have no problems using HDMI with xbox dvd drive and Power DVD ultra.
However, it will not work unless you have a HDCP enabled video card. This is a specific requirement when using HDMI with Power DVD even if the content material is not copyright protected.
You can view using the VGA connection but your output will be limited to around 576 lines instead of true 1080, hence no HDCP required as it is not HD resolution.
Your solution is to buy a suitable graphics card - I use a Leadtek 7900GS, but there are Nvidia and ATI alternatives - specificaly ask for HDCP ENABLED, it should be marked on the packaging or check the web if your not sure.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
