Re: Does anyone know if free sites like Hulu.com use HDCP


Flash Access 2.0

Key "advantages"

Output protection - Specify whether output protection technologies are required to output to external devices.
Flash Access supports digital and analog output protection technologies - including HDCP, CGMS-A, and Rovi (formerly Macrovision) ACP - for Windows platforms.
As you can see, Flash Access 2.0 allows to use HDCP protection. This protection is only available in Windows.

Output control is absolutely optional, so you never know whether Hulu and other web-sites will be using it or not.

At least you can use quality OS like Linux or Mac OS, which support flash video and where output control is not supported. On these OSes you shouldn't have problems connecting your computer to a projector or any non-HDCP display to watch Flash content. I really doubt that HD videos from Hulu will stop working on Linux and Mac OS even if Hulu will use the output control.
