    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Hello all, i have a Power Mac G5 which has a ATI Radeon 9600 XT Graphics Card. I want to upgrade to a faster card (512MB) with a video out so i can plug a Plasma tv into it. This is all for the Editing work i do. Can this work? and if so, what would be a good fast card to get (for around £600.00) if you can help, it would be much appreciated:eek:

If your plasma has an HDMI input, you can get a DVI to HDMI adapter and plug your plasma right into the card you have now. Much higher res than video out.
Even if you still get a new card, use DVI instead of video out.
