HDMI-Enabled Graphics Cards Debut

TrackinYeti writes "HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface), is the first industry supported digital-only interface, that requires a single cable to connect an output source to an HD-ready device, such as a television or monitor and deliver HD video, plus multi-channel digital audio, like Dolby Digital and DTS. Recently, Asus Computer released versions of their GeForce 7600 and Radeon X1600 cards with HDMI outputs on them, driven by an on-board Sil1930 controller. These are some of the first graphics cards to hit the market that can output HDMI natively with an integrated HDCP cipher engine and support HD-audio as well. Just the thing for that HTPC?"

wouldnt it be nice if i could play backups of my original copies, and not have to worry if that happens.

I have never encountered a disk that prevented one from making a bit-for-bit copy. Any disk-imaging program should work, and any disk-burning program will work on the image. If all you want to do is make a backup of what you've already got, there's nothing standing in your way.
