"backing up" a disc is useless. Watching High Definition content on a computer seems retarded, unless it is a 42" monitor. The fact that Blu-rays cannot be pirated is leading to more studio and CE support. I am all for copy protection. Because people who steal go to hell and watch HD DVD with Hitler.

Blurip,

MMC (Mandatory Managed Copy) is something that will be supported on both formats...we still await any type of logical reply from you as to your thought process on BD+...and I'm afraid we'll be waiting...and waiting...

It is indeed.

Good to hear you'll support Blu-ray, and can't say it is good to hear you'll support HD DVD--I just simply have never understood the draw to support both, as IMO, it lays more credence to high def in general becoming niche.

Well, hopefully as you continue to see more BDs and their superior PQ and AQ, you'll start singin the Blus.

the thing is i really dont care which format gives me HD, as long as i can watch it the way i want to, whether on a computer or whatever the bottom line for me regardless of the attacks is im a little upset that blu ray has taken steps to make it more difficult for me to watch the movies however i chose , and i think you are right these formats will only be a niche,

[L or S of Perfect?]

why the hell do you need to "back up" movies you purchased.

If you can rip it to your server what is to stop you from throwing it up on a exchange site? Really not many here are going to buy the i want to take up hundreds of gigs of hard drive space to save 3 seconds of time from simply putting the disc into the drive. Not to mention what would stop people from renting them and ripping them and not having to spend but 5 bucks to rent it? Your excuse is weak and wont cut it, you want something these days you buy it, if you want to steal it i don't think you will find many sympathetic for your cause here on a pro blu-ray site!

i think the mods here should forward blurips personal info to the hddvd studios. id love to see him standing in front of the judge explaining how he owns the movie and can do what ever he wants with it. get a job looser!

Actually, Blu-ray Discs can and have been cracked. Blu-ray Disc with BD+ technology is new and is uncrackable at the moment.

Yes, I was wrong and you were correct. The discs have been cracked. But you cannot deny the fact the blu-rays continued protection research has not attracted more support. Ask New Line.

Someone I know saw a supposedly ripped BD on a certain site for download. There were several comments by people amused with the idea of how long it would take to download 50GB. That would take up a lot of space on a hard drive. It isn't worth it. I would rather own the disc and all the liner notes that come with it.

It's more to do with region encoding, not piracy. They will not release movies on HD DVD because people in other countries can order them and play them in their HD DVD players while the movies are still playing at the theatres where they resides.
