Default I think I'm missing something here

So supposedly, to play Blu-Rays and watch certain TV channels, you've gotta have an HDCP compliant video card and HDCP compliant monitor/TV. Right?

So how am I able to watch and record everything in full HD on standard monitors without any 'hacks' like anydvd?

Here, look at this screenshot. This doesn't look like any sort of downsizing, at least not to me:

Sometimes the hardware will not allow it without a compatible monitor/tv or other hardware in side your computer. I have not ever had the problem, but some do.

Exactly, and I'm not seeing any problems whatsoever. With any computer or monitor.

Is the path fully digital? If you have an analog hole in the system it will play regardless of HDCP.

The media that you're playing may not have enabled the HDCP flags... there's 3 main options:
1) Do Nothing
2) Downsize
3) No display

The "I'm not seeing" kinda implied that.
