Can someone explain the two types to me and their compatibility.
Can a SDI modded DVD player be connected to DVI?

DVI without copy protection is not allowed under the CSS licence, to which all reputable dvd player manufacturers must sign up in order to get DVD chipsets. In the scheme of things it is pretty much a hanging offence to incorporate this in a DVD player.

It is certainly difficult to make a copy of the DVI signal - it is very fast
However you are, with respect, being naive about this. Just because you can rip some DVDs because somebody hacked a key does not mean that the casual user will be allowed to copy - the material is copyright and not yours to copy.
The content owners' industry game plan is, frankly, to control all outputs and to prevent, or at least control, all copying in the future - you ain't seen nothing yet, as they say. There is absolutely no chance of the current restrictions being relaxed.
This is of course well beyond the control of the hardware makers, so please don't rant at us

But what's the situation with RGB via scart? How come every player has it, and there isn't any copy protection? As you probably know, it's possible to convert RGB into s-video or composite, infact the playstation 2 had it disabled because somone made a cheap RGB to composite adapter cable.
