MCE at 480p why ?

[homethx]

Why hell does my pc revert back to 480p after I set it to 720p in the mce menu just a soon as i press play on dvds .

Are you using svideo to conect your Video card to your TV ?

No DVI cable playing pal dvds on a projector

What desktop resolution are you using? And what do you mean by setting it to 720p in the MCE menu?

Regarding your star wars dvd...sound like a copyright protection mechanism to prevent it from running in a PC DVD-ROM...Happens with quite a few CD's as well....Flash the ROM of your DVD drive with an RPC1 version and use a utility like AnyDVD then you'll be ok...

Have you checked the compatibilty of your projector i.e it may not be able to display 720p via the PC.
what model projector have you got....and whats the native res ?

You can only play DVDs at 480p...I think it's the Macrovision protection. You need something like AnyDVD to get round it!

Sony hs20 projector native of 1386x788 but you can achieve only 1368x768 1.1. pixel with power strip works fine with ati card over DVI cable.

It's just not having it with nvidia card set it at 1280x720 in the resolution of monitor menu and set for 720 in the WMCE tv menu

I may have a go with nvidia custom resolution and see if that helps

I see maybe same reason by star wars won't play.
I have a region free dvd rom drive and a copy of dvd region killer thanks

Please note that dvd region killer has not been updated since 2003!! It only provides region switching, it doesn't do macrovision, de-css etc....Strongly recommend Any DVD...
