Awesome. - Almadiel, on 03/26/2008, -7/+68This reminds me of the old joke... HD DVD and Blu Ray are in the woods and encounter a charging bear, and Blu Ray stops to put on his sneakers. HD DVD turns to him and says, "what are you doing? you can't outrun a bear!" Blu Ray replies, "you don't understand, I only have to outrun you."
- norman619, on 03/26/2008, -2/+60All the studios in Hollywood just said "WTF?! 10 YEARS MY ASS!!!"
- EatingPie, on 03/26/2008, -12/+60They waited until Blu-Ray won the format war before announcing the crack. They actually helped end the format war because BD+ being cracked would have removed a major advantage studios saw in Blu-Ray.
-Pie - Jenadae, on 03/26/2008, -1/+43What angers me the most is that none of these formats take full advantage of technology and worry more about piracy prevention systems. I can fit 10 episodes of my favorite show in 720p on a normal DVD yet i cant do the same on a format 10x bigger then a DVD? ***** you, stop treating us like were 10 years behind ourselves.
- trafficlights, on 03/26/2008, -1/+43I guess this means that I can buy a BD player now.
- KMartSheriff, on 03/26/2008, -0/+34Dear Pie,
Stop signing your comments.
-Digg community - sophiaperennis, on 03/26/2008, -2/+33It's also not very smart to mention the taunting words "will take 10 years to crack."
- serpentor, on 03/26/2008, -8/+33I want mkv support for the 360 ;)
- peestandingup, on 03/26/2008, -3/+27"x264 720p rips are nice, yes, but they aren't commercial quality."
Yeah & neither are MP3s. Those will never take off either. - Trax91, on 03/26/2008, -3/+21What's with people signing their comments when their nick is stated above the comment?
-Trax91 - latova, on 03/26/2008, -3/+20All those security measures for nothing.
- lhbaker, on 03/26/2008, -5/+21I Heart SlySoft
- scarwars, on 03/26/2008, -0/+15that makes them, in fact, true Pirates of the Caribbean..
- DeathJux, on 03/26/2008, -1/+15Ohhhhh... you really seem to understand all this technical stuff, I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
- SeanRoss, on 03/26/2008, -0/+13They're not worried about quality/quantity, I think the major reason the MPAA wanted to push to next gen HD formats was for the supposed security that could not take place with Standard definition DVDs. When will ANY Company learn that if something can be locked... it can and WILL be unlocked.
- frogsoblivious, on 03/26/2008, -0/+11so then hacking really doesn't mean taking an ax to your HD then?
- DCstewieG, on 03/26/2008, -3/+14x264 720p rips are nice, yes, but they aren't commercial quality. Also 1080p is over twice the pixels of 720p. Then there is lossless audio. The piracy prevention is doing nothing major to the capacity of the discs. (Strictly speaking to capacity...DRM blows)
- bigt8dogg, on 03/26/2008, -1/+10I love AnyDVD. Been using it for about 4 years now. If it can't crack the disc you're trying to copy, wait a week or two, and the next update or two takes care of it. Good to know I'm already covered... Definately a great way to spend $30. It's paid for itself, that's for damned sure.
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -1/+8Just like the level of respect people seem to have for you on here which is exactly zero.
- stretch611, on 03/26/2008, -0/+7I'll wait for the prices to drop. The need to go from DVD to Blu-Ray is not nearly as significant as the need that made many people leave VHS for DVD.
I do not have any need to fatten Sony's pockets especially after they raised prices as soon as HD-DVD essentially dropped out of the race. - pixelbender, on 03/26/2008, -1/+8They're the idiots for believing the "security experts" who wrote BD+. Those security experts, always being silly! ;)
- username145, on 03/26/2008, -2/+9***** the MPAA!
- xpose, on 03/26/2008, -2/+9Even if BD+ wasn't cracked. . .people got around it by using a capture card to rip movies. With BD+ cracked, now there is no quality loss and the raw files can be re-encoded to great looking x264.
I am glad we can all move (err better make that already moved) seamlessly from dvd rips to HD rips.
So what's next? Well, we have yet to find an open source way to playback HD audio from blu-ray discs. - linx05, on 03/26/2008, -0/+6Actually they didn't wait. They said they would have released it earlier if they had the code ready.
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -5/+11Buy a PS3
- RadiatedAnt, on 03/26/2008, -3/+8Antigua FTW!
- arcticblue, on 03/26/2008, -4/+9Yep, MrBabyMan represents everything about Digg that I hate (except the comment system). He's a marketing whore. Although, this submission was at least interesting.
- herecomes, on 03/26/2008, -1/+6Their execs had better hope that their flights aren't "unintentionally" routed through a U.S. airport.
- arcticblue, on 03/26/2008, -0/+5The latest versions of MythTV have DLNA support built in and it works near flawlessly with the PS3. IMO, I'd say the PS3 is a pretty decent media center.
- Murdats, on 03/26/2008, -4/+8yes, because then online distribution could sweep in and knock them both over, now we have an established format rather then a shaky battleground ripe for new contestants.
- solidus636, on 03/26/2008, -2/+6Say it right...
it's Blu-Ray. - edgedmurasame, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4It's not as if it would be hard to take it over unnoticed.
- rilus, on 03/26/2008, -0/+4Fortunately, the chances of being caught, prosecuted, and found guilty are lower than winning the lottery.
Hurray for not-reasonably-enforceable laws! - herecomes, on 03/26/2008, -1/+5Well the security measures aren't totally useless. At least they'll have the effect of delaying consumer adoption until cracks are widely available. So it's a good thing for plain old DVD.
- Phipman, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4Don't feed this troll, guys. Look at his comment history: it's all "Captain Obvious" type stuff. Just a pathetic cry for attention, I assume.
- KMartSheriff, on 03/26/2008, -1/+4While I agree with you on that first bit, I can't so much on the second. While I'm as much against low-bitrate MP3's as the next guy, FLAC is pretty big. If you're like me and have over 5k songs, that can add up very fast.
- ackermannc, on 03/26/2008, -0/+3Damn, some angry people around.
- santasing, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2That's great news. DRM is bad peeriod. Now if only the studios will just give up on their egg headed approach. I can't wait for Netflix on Firefox/Macs/Linux.
- inactive, on 03/26/2008, -3/+5facepalm.jpg
- Shorties, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3Do they have external Blu-Ray Players yet? I have a laptop with a 1080P screen and I used the 360 HD-DVD drive for HD-DVD's but now I want to get a Blu Ray Player as well.
- edgedmurasame, on 03/26/2008, -1/+3Now if there wouldnt be a need to use them in the software used to "crack" it.
- zmjone2992, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2what are you talking about? instant view?
- inactive, on 03/28/2008, -1/+3You are going down MrBabyMan...
- daveisfera, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2I just wish that this had happened a couple months ago so we wouldn't be stuck with the more expensive of the two HD disk options.
- dupswapdrop, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2So will we see something new to replace blu-ray in what the next year?
- AdHaR, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2You are doing it wrong: YAARRRRRRR!
- arcticblue, on 03/26/2008, -0/+2Hmm, that's a good idea. I've lost touch with physical media and never thought to burn them to a CD to keep a lossless (if that's spelled wrong, sorry) copy. A little bit more time consuming I suppose, but you get the best of both worlds.
- buddamus, on 03/26/2008, -2/+3Its fair use to make backup copy's, Final Fantasy 7 did not survive the assault of a jam sandwich of my young daughter, lucky It was a copy
- Myztry, on 03/26/2008, -0/+1I was just having a jab at Microsoft's fantasy of Media Center's when they can't even play current generation movies. Microsoft's continual ball dropping is doing wonders for the likes of MythTV as articblue points out.
