How do I run compnent from htpc? Is there a way to trick the lt150 to think that it has a component cable hooked up? I know, I know, this is a lame question =).

Mane:

You can control it much better just using the HTPC -

You don't need component - just do HD15->HD15 - and then tweak it with the HTPC

but wont I need to retain aspect ratio control for use with like a panamorph?

No, you will not - tell your DVD player the projector is a 16:9 monitor and it will output a vertically stretched picture which the Panamorph will compress again, restoring normal proportions.

I'm not using a stand alone dvd player, but windvd on my HTPC, can you do this still?

From your software DVD player, make sure you uncheck the "maintain aspect ratio" option or equivalent, voila.

If you are using an HTPC, it has the flexibility to perform its own aspect ratio control, either within the player software (WinDVD, PowerDVD, ATI Player, etc.) or using third party free software ( Jim Ferguson's YXY ). The quality of the scaling performed by the HTPC will likely be superior to any aspect ratio control performed by the projector itself.
