- L0C0loco, on 11/06/2008, -2/+38When will they learn that you can't lock down digital information and still retain just a little access to the content. It is all or nothing. "Unbreakable for a decade" - yeah, right. Everyone is just trying to protect their "goose that lays golden eggs". It is a model whose time has come and gone. Trying to artificially boost "value" by limiting supply is a failed approach.
- inactive, on 11/07/2008, -2/+28here we go again. what ridiculously long code that i have no use for do i have to tattoo on myself now?
- fani, on 11/07/2008, -3/+162 things piss me off about BluRay -
1. Stupid DRM and watching the stupid FBI warnings and those classic Bogart-Ingrid Bergmann Casablanca exchanges with those stupid "she's pirating dvd's nonsense"
2. The ***** annoying Java based BluRay that takes ages to load
I'm quite content with DVDs and digital online distribution from Netflix, Blockbuster, Comcast On-demand and XboxLive soon.
I don't want to pirate any stuff... All I want is easy access to my stuff and to be able to take my content with me. ( but stupid MPAA thinks its not my content, even after I paid for it ) - valkyries, on 11/07/2008, -0/+12anydvdHD has been doing this for some time now, and updates have been coming out almost weekly for the software.
- CandidateZero, on 11/07/2008, -0/+11Why do we always have to fight about this?! Stop it! Stop fighting!! It's tearing us apart!!!
- valkyries, on 11/07/2008, -1/+10its working for diamonds still.
- oxphantomxo, on 11/07/2008, -0/+8There is some seriously talented people over at Doom9.
- paradexes, on 11/07/2008, -2/+10Sony is to software security as a hooker is to abstinence.
- DeathRay2K, on 11/07/2008, -6/+14HD DVD was never a good idea.
- RadiatedAnt, on 11/07/2008, -0/+5buy Zirconia ;)
- mizarone, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5I dunno, how about the entire human genome? That's ridiculously long code.
- 80hd, on 11/07/2008, -1/+5This is good or bad news.
Good - Sony takes a hint, realizes they can't keep a perfect lid on things forever and gives up the fight. In the future, discs are released using only basic DRM and the specs don't change much, giving consumers and manufacturers some level of confidence in knowing that their player won't be obsolete in 3 months.
Bad - Sony just adds more hoops to jump through to play your legit titles, meanwhile pirates enjoy DRM free titles and hardware development is further stifled. - AngelBunny, on 11/07/2008, -2/+6it is good to see doom9 in the news. i've been a member of that site for far to long.

- mywhitenoise, on 11/07/2008, -3/+6quadHD is going to take over, but blu-ray wont? haha, what a joke.
I agree that blu-ray will not make an impact like DVD did, but come on dude! QuadHD? You know blu-ray's answer to that? Quad-layer BDs. - IphtashuFitz, on 11/08/2008, -1/+4I have zero desire to invest in BluRay, and all this DRM is one big reason. I've lost CD's & DVD's that had various forms of DRM that prevented me from making my own backups. I've learned my lesson, and refuse to pay for anything that won't let me make fair-use backups. If Sony wants me to invest in BluRay then they need to let me start doing this. I don't want to have to rely on these hacks (impressive though they are). I want Sony to give me what I'm legally entitled to. Even worse is the fact that the BluRay players have to connect to the internet to keep updating themselves with more DRM data to determine what it shouldn't allow to be played. DRM that phones home. Screw it. And considering the encryption they created and claimed would be secure for decades has been effectively defeated after mere months you think they'd learn by now...
- dandonia, on 11/08/2008, -1/+3If by big corps you mean consumers then ok. Dispite a heaft 1st to market lead, 10 times more bluray players sold by the time they shut of production. Blu-ray isn't even close to been finished yet and its already 50GB.
- cucamelsmd15, on 11/07/2008, -1/+3***** you Sony, take that!
- 11a22b, on 01/24/2009, -0/+1How to ripping a Blu-ray disc, here are 4 solutions, you can choose to fit your need.
http://www.blurayripper.net/ - dandonia, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1And how many TV's will support quad HD?
- inactive, on 11/07/2008, -0/+1Whew, from the title I initially thought it would be about something Real was set to unleash on the undeserving populace.
- dandonia, on 11/10/2008, -0/+1Companies like the WWE who just spent $100'000's getting their production into HD are not going to spend the same again any time soon. It will be a long time before every show/movie is filmed in 1080p.
- JigoroKano, on 11/08/2008, -2/+3HD-DVD was Toshiba's attempt to ***** over all the other DVD consortium companies and get an early monopoly going. It's amazing they did as well as they did.
- papadopus, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1Frugle?

- paloooz, on 11/08/2008, -2/+2Is?
- xqb4dpx, on 11/08/2008, -2/+2a Blu Ray ripper came out? I thought only HD DVD did. ... well that should be on digg first.
- MarkusX, on 11/08/2008, -2/+2The main reason why blu-ray hasn't taken off already, is, that most people dont't see enough improvement.
I know, we video freaks do see every pixel and every grade of sharpness and detail. However, it's a completely different story for i.e. my aunt, who is no tech person and simply wants to enjoy a movie. For her, blu-ray doesn't make the movie more enjoyable, she didn't even notice the difference when I showed her "Shrek the Third" on DVD and afterwards on blu-ray.
Do you want to know, what she said, when I started the blu-ray movie and looked into her direction expecting a "Wow"-kinda reaction?
She said: "I don't understand. It's the same movie!"
I just rolled my eyes and thought she'd never get it. But fact is, that the majority of movie buyers are people like my aunt, not like me.
QuadHD might make a statement, better than blu-ray. But I haven't even seen it yet.
So, when I wrote QuadHD above, I meant the next standard, that offers enough difference to convince people like my aunt to buy their movies again on that medium. - xplorecontent, on 11/08/2008, -0/+0it will be of great help..

Some solutions worked for me. - inactive, on 11/07/2008, -1/+1Great news cant wait!
- MarkusX, on 11/08/2008, -2/+1If the medium becomes popular, the TV manufacturers will hopefully start building capable TVs.
In the beginning the medium might have to be downwards compatible and display in "reguler" HD.
But how they upgrade is really somebody else's business, somehow they managed it a few times already in the past. So, I'm not worried. - MarkusX, on 11/07/2008, -13/+7I am still not convinced that Blu-ray will make it to the same market share as the DVD, but with this software, people who bought a lot of Blu-ray discs, can at least 'completely' copy their discs onto their harddrives, when the quadHD discs will hit the market and blu-ray won't be supported anymore.
- Elbart, on 11/07/2008, -9/+2Old. That was possible with AnyDVD HD too. Difference now: it's open source. Whoop di doo.
- HolmesSPH, on 11/06/2008, -20/+12F blu-ray, HD-DVD was the way to go, but big corps pushed it out
- LlamaRiot, on 11/07/2008, -17/+0piracy is illegal you ***** criminals, don't you know how many people's lives you are ruining?
