Yes, but what I was getting at is that there isn't time to make any changes to PowerDVD. I know from statements Cyberlink has made in its forum that it needs at least one year to make significant changes to PowerDVD.

As I told you before when you wrote the same thing in another thread, Apple only sells about 9% total of the world's personal computers and only a tiny fraction of those sales are to buyers who care even a little bit about playing UHD Blu-ray on their computer with MacGo. Such a small market means very little to the BDA.

The T2 security chip was cracked long ago. Why would the BDA approve a technology that has already proven insecure when doing so can only increase income by an insignificant amount?

I see more Apple laptops than any other brand.

So what? All that means is you personally see a lot of them. I don't see any Macs, ever, except on TV or in movies, where money changes hands for product placement.

Fortunately, Gartner and other companies that provide PC sales data that I'd accept as valid have much better sources of information than either of us.
