bb4,

They are correct, only Digital Rights Management (DRM) free / unprotected content can be viewed via this method. So files on your device like videos or pictures you've recorded with the device camera/recorder would be the type of files you could view on your external HDMI device using a compatible HDMI cable.

The following file formats are supported.

H.263
H.264
MPEG-4
WAV

Hope I've answered any concerns or questions you may have regarding this subject!

From what I understand only DRM free files are supported with the HDMI out feature. The movies from Blockbuster will have DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection.

how do i bypass the protection is there an app that could play it

There is a reason for the DRM protection.

The rest of my thoughts are staying silent.

That's a real nice way of saying against the rules..
