Now what I don't understand is why this WON'T be available in the US. I have a DTCP compliant D-VHS deck that records HDTV over firewire from the CableCo's MPEG2 TS. Blu-ray with AACS can do exactly the same thing... indeed that seems to be exactly what that diagram shows! So what's the holdup??

I think paul-engadget's comment should be the caption on the image: "DRM is simple!"

Repeatedly and in large part for these very reasons.

Blu-ray really was the dumb choice for HD movies on disc for the mass-market.

Thanks to this kind of stupidity, wrong, short-sighted and greed-based nonsense it's creators have merely guaranteed that it will never truly move into the mainstream.

Enjoy it for the short-lived niche product it is.

The next one will be along shortly.]]>Apr 17th 2009 6:22PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/Apr 17th 2009 6:35PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/Apr 17th 2009 11:39PMhttp://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/http://enghddev.weblogsinc.com/2009/04/17/bbc-breaks-down-the-new-drm-rules-for-blu-ray-recorders/
The problem you have is that Blu-ray was always intended to be part of the 'security' wet dream and it's eventual win & adoption was taken to signal a green light for much more of all that BS.

Naturally you can choose not to believe this if you like but nevertheless you cannot deny that Blu-ray was always supposed to be adaptive and capable of fitting in with an ever tighter and general 'security' environment.

HD DVD shared a couple of Blu-ray's so-called 'security' features but nothing like all of them and certainly nothing along the lines of Blu-ray's BD+ or watermarking.

This is just going to push people more towards such things, because illegal or not, the pirate bay doesn't put shit like that onto people.]]>Apr 18th 2009 8:40AM
