It's still a "loss" for the industry because you get to watch the movie without paying them.

yeah that is true! as a musician and an IT individual, my work is prone to piracy. but that is life and that is reality. there will always be piracy, and some may consider it distasteful but some would disagree.

I mean even large companies resort to pirating employees to gain competitive advantage, piracy is not just limited to movies and audio materials per se. It is just that the entertainment industry cried foul and they have lots of money to lobby for a legislative action, but the act of copying technology and knowledge is as old as time itself.

There are lots of DVDs na CAM versions lang.
The issue about profit is that the profit that the moviemakers would've gotten if you've watched the film is lost because you instead got yourself a copy without paying them royalties to buy their big fat asses more bling. Therefore, both cases of downloading movies and buying them off your neighborhood vendor are subject to such profit-stealing.

meron ba vga out? bili ka ng adapter, vga to hdmi

I believe VGA is analog and HDMI is digital. VGA to DVI is possible because DVI has DVI-A (analog) and DVI to HDMI is possible because of DVI-I (analog and digital).

I am skeptic about the possibility that the analog signal from my VGA port would be converted into a digital HDMI signal on my TV.

Oh, and the max. resolution that my TV can handle kapag VGA is 1366x768 so hindi ko rin nauutilize yung 1080p.

EDIT: merong analog to digital converter pero mahal. And it's not as simple as a jack like VGA to DVI or DVI to HDMI. Pagttiyagaan ko nalang tong 1366 x 768 (I could still play 720p anyway) until I get myself a new laptop or until I go crazy and bring my desktop to the TV. :D

I dont bother watching if it is a CAM version.

I stand corrected about the vga to hdmi adapter. Hindi ako masyadong sure kung vga or dvi to hdmi since im not concerned with that issue. Luckily, I got a laptop with an HDMI output port.

about the max res, 720 is good already.... anyway most movies have 1080 and 720 versions. even the 480 mini HD copies are way better than orig dvds.
