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.

You will lose the audio benefits of HDMI if you use a DVI end, as HDMI carries the audio signal but DVI doesn't.

With the upcoming HDMI1.3 format you'll lose the potential to benefit from the higher resolution format.
