How is your projector connected? S-Video, DVI, Component, VGA, what? -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

DVI would be great but my projector hasnt I don't think you're going to see any difference between your G400 and a newer board. You'd do better to look into your software. Right now the hot setup seems to be TheaterTek, http://www.theatertek.com/ but hold off a bit as version 2.0 is about to ship. Another option that some hardcore videophiles have done is go to a hardware MPEG-2 decoder and a PDI interface played back through dscaler--for details see http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=267735&perpage=20&pagen umber=1. Not simple to set up but supposed to work about as well as a high-end standalone DVD player. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
