Note:
ICT = Image Constraint Token.
It's something that prevents HD videos from being sent at a higher resolution than 576p through analog cables (like component / YUV).
Hey guys,
Tried to watch my french BD copy of The Host just a few hours ago.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that the picture was as soft as a DVD because the ICT was on.
I may have been living under a rock for the past few months, but I thought ICT wasn't supposed to kick in before something like 2010.
As anyone heard of other ICT-enabled BDs?
I'm sick of all this copy-protection bullshit.
Blu-Ray discs with ICT enabled ?

I used to be "the man who loves the movies you hate".
Now I'm just "that weird french guy with a cat avatar who comes to BnB once a year for no reason and then disappears again".

@Brad:
There's only one HDMI input on my videoprojector and it's being used by my Oppo DVD player.
That's why I was stuck with component.
Now I have to buy one of those HDMI 2->1 switch things and two more HDMI cables (1 to go from the BD player to the switch thing, and another from the switch to the projector).
I didn't think that The Host would cost me this much. :shock:
@Salty:
Thanks for the info.

Not the model I've got.Brad wrote:Does the Oppo allow upscaling through Component?
In the end I've gone with the 2->1 HDMI switch idea.
Bit expensive but works like a charm. And I can confirm that a Blu-Ray transfer in 1080i HDMI looks better than in 1080i YUV (on my setup anyway).
Less grain & more fine detail.
