• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    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.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I am a media/film student and constantly use final cut pro at my college on PowerMac G5s. I want to use final cut at home though becasue it's annoying only getting to use the system at college and iMovie just won't cut it (awful joke).

Anywayyyy, instead of just putting Final Cut on my Macbook (and upgrading my RAM) i want to connect a 26" LCD tv and use it as an external monitor to preview the footage, I've read some stuff on the internet and I'm wondering, will my system be able to support a HD output? If not HD then how high resolution can I go?

I might just use a normal monitor as a second monitor for a wider display though.

Thanks :)
