HDMI to DVI Cable


If I use a cable with a DVI head at one end and HDMI at the other end, would this cancel out the benefits/advantages of both formats? The cable would be connecting the HDMI output of the DVD player and DVI input of the display projector.

Any advice from knowledgable folks would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your response. I reckon I won't be using any switches and hence may not encounter what you've experienced. It looks like DVI is getting less favoured nowadays with HDMI sources and displays getting more popular.
Thanks for all responses.

Snofun3, is the quality of HDMI's audio signal higher than the standard coaxial digital output? I am well aware that technology of high-resolution displays is moving in such a rapid pace. My display projector bought new 3 years back is now an obsolete piece without any HDMI input, and not to mention that I have not changed the bulbs yet even until today, and now there's HDMI1.3? Oh jeez.
Thanks for all helpful responses. Now I know it's not all roses with HDMI to DVI with some members here experiencing glitches.
