I'm sorry if this, or a question similar to it, has been answered, but I'm currently stuck with miserably slow dial up internet and searching takes forever. I currently have a HP Pavilion dv6000 from about 2 years ago. It currently has a DVD-RW in it, but I'm possibly interested in upgrading to a BD drive if it will support it.
I'm not sure what specs are needed, but here's a general idea of the notebook. Intel Core 2, T7200 at 2.00 ghz 1 gig RAM NVIDIA GeForce Go 7400 Also, I ran across someone talking about HDCP (I think that was the acronym) in another post, and it was talking about playing media on an external monitor. In the past I have had major issues getting my computer to run with my TV as the monitor via a VGA cable (only VGA and S Vid out on my notebook). On my last TV, it would not work at all, and on my current model, a Broksonic 32" 1080i, it will only work if I change from my native resolution of 1280x800 to 1024x768. Now that I mention it I don't know if I have ever specifically tried it with my new tv and codecs, but in the past I had issues showing the video on the tv through the VGA cable. The rest of the screen would show up, but in place of the video, it would just have a black box. Any way to correct these issues? Also, what about running a projector? My room mate in college has a projector, and we were planning on having a cheap, college budget theater set up in our apartment. I'd like to have any issues resolved before I move in next month. Thanks Also, in playing videos in Windows Media Player 11 Beta 2, what resolution am I effectively sending to the TV through the vga cable? Would S-Vid garner a better image (or audio)? ***** Edit: I hooked my tv up to my notebook and it is working fine now. However I'm leaving the above section in the posting because if anyone can think of any issues that would arise by playing avi files through my notebook and projector, I'd appreciate warnings and advice about how to fix them. Thanks again Last edited by romphill; 07-23-2008 at 11:15 PM. |
