Digital Video Interface
I am trying to optomize graphics output from PC to TV.

Has any Win Amp User hooked up their PC through a DVI - since DVI is digital it only supports DVI standard - this goes for screen resolution as well - on an HD TV of course.

Is the Graphics card at that point important since the source feed is not going to be conveted to analog (I assume)so frequency and resolution can only ever be optomized and not worth going higher.

As of yet, nothing dude.

It's some crumy legal reasons that you might use the digital video out on your computer to steal movies.

There's no way to even get simple screen images to firewire.

The only way to get digital image out of you computer is if the program is coded to work with a firewire out card, or some other proprietary system.

Yeah, AVS won't go fullscreen on a secondary monitor. I have 3 video outputs on my video card (laptop screen, normal monitor plug, and s-video), but when I tell it to go fullscreen, no matter what monitor it's on, it always ends up on the laptop screen.
