There is no real reason to convert from component to HDMI. If the player had HDMI out then it would be better to use it in most cases. Then you would have a digital to digital connection.
dvd component to dvi worth it???
I am currently using a Yamaha dvd($200) player, using component hookup. Is is worth purchasing something that has a dvi or hmdi output? Wil there be a noticable improvement in the video? 95% of my watching is dvd and my tv has the hook up so thought it might me worth it. I am not looking to spend a lot. Maybe $200-300(this way my wife wont have a fit when i start talking about HDDVD). I am using a 56" Samsung DLP with the seating area approx 13ft away.
