[Peter Tap]

Thank you for your help, Remi. As we are using nVidia cards, I have posted this on nVidia forum.

Regards,
Peter

The video output plugin can refuse to output anything. It can also and 
alternatively requests scaling down to SD though that would be inefficient; 
the GPU is usually far more efficient for video scaling.

HDCP negotiation is a matter for the hardware output, not for VLC. You need to 
check which whichever video output and/or audio output API you happen to use, 
how HDCP is exposed if at all.
