Mew ATI and tv-out?
Are there any newer ATI cards that has tv-out? (svhs). Looking at 5770 which
seems to be the best I can afford and they all seems to have display port (whatever that does) and none have the classic svhs/hdtv out connector. |

My Sapphire 5870 has DVI, HDMI and Display Port and it came with an adapter for HDMI to component. |

Analoge TV out (CVBS, Y/C) is dead, and very few new cards actually still come with analoge TV out. More cards do come with analoge component out (HDTV) but in Europe this is not of much relevance because TVs that have analogue component input also have VGA or DVI/HDMI inputs. Unless you have a really ancient TV I wouldn't even bother with Y/C any more (and if you have then you probably need an older gfx card). Not only because the image usually looks like crap. Benjamin |

Benjamin So how do you suggest the OP or anyone else for that matter be able to record video out from their pc? |

In my previous post I said my 5870 came with HDMI to component adapter, he wants SVGA though, simple fix is attach component to SVGA adapter to the HDMI to component adapter. I know you can get those because I have one collecting dust in my adapter box. |

Something else to consider: ** It is not legal to make or sell HDCP capable DVI to analog (VGA - Component) converters** . To convert HDMI to component would break federal laws for HDCP compliant equipment. Ever herd of copy protection - secure digital connection. I searched NewEgg - they don't have such a thing. I searched Google, they show some break out cables, but they say they only work on ATI video boards, which have the YPbBr signals available. Look into it. William |

"It is not legal to make or sell HDCP capable DVI to analog (VGA - Component) converters**" I don't think that's absolutely true. It depends on the format and resolution of the output of the conversion. If the output is "SD" (standard definition) then it is legal. If it's "HD" it's not legal. I'm not sure where or if these terms are defined precisely. But analog VGA 640x480 is definitely not considered HD. William wrote: "Boris Badenov" wrote in message ...

HDCP = High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection, read the words High-Bandwidth again please. You will not find VGA inside of a HDMI signal. You are thinking of a cable box, or DVD that has HDMI and component output for selection. Are you aware that the content providers are asking the FCC permission to turn off the low-definition outputs on cable boxes and dvd's as they desire. If that happens - say goodbye to VGA and component outputs on the hi-dif players and boxes whenever the content providers want to turn the ports off. There are some very expensive active break-out boxes available if you know where to go. But that is another story. Thank you Barry for caring.

We were talking about CONVERTING the digital signal into {something};
both analog and digital can be either HD or SD. [e.g. component video can be analog HD, while DVI at 800x600 (or lower) is digital but SD] My point was, it's not illegal to make a device that takes an HDMI HD signal (with HDCP) and converts it into, for example, NTSC composite analog (e.g. yellow RCA plug). That seems to be the capability (not currently illegal) that you are discussing which providers are asking to be capable of being turned off. That might work on a cable box (although maybe not current and past production models) but it will hardly work for DVD content, which is currently SD, but still of very good quality.
