Posted at December 27, 2009, 6:34 pm: Okay here are some things that HD-DVD can offer over standard DVD Apart from the obvious improvements in vision and audio: When it comes to subtitles, small overlaid images of the actors/actresses can be placed next to colour-coded text Picture in picture is supported. Instead of listening to the audio commentary of a director, you can now have footage onscreen, synchronised to the video HD-DVD players also support networking unlike Blu Ray models. This means you will be able to connect the player to your broadband connection for exclusive content in hi-def etc There is also a copying feature which allows you to legally rip the movie for viewing on a mobile device or PC The entry level Toshiba HD-DVD player which is soon to be release retails at $500 which is much cheaper than first anticipated Copyright protection etc. Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have copyright protection courtesy of AACS (Advanced Access Content System). Basically, the stuff that protects the content is part of the content itself. It will be possible to examine an individual frame of a pirated HD movie and extract the specific ID key for that player (every player is different). Studios will be able to determine which key was used to decode the video, even if the footage has been re-encoded to analogue video, MPEG, DIVX etc. Imagine this scenario; Batman Begins is released on HD-DVD. A kid in Finland cracks the key to his HD-DVD deck and puts HD video out onto the net. The studios (Warner in this case) will be able to tell that this has happened and the engineers determine what the key is. That key is then tagged as bad and a key update is released to the HD-DVD replicators. When the kid goes into the store a few days later and buys Harry Potter on HD-DVD he will find that his disc refuses to play it. His key registers as bad because the keyblock is part of the content of his new disc. But he'll still be able to play Batman Begins. This is the technology that is crucial to the studios and I think they will be majorly disappointed when a flaw is found that inevitably bypasses the copyright protection altogether and HD content is available all over the newsgroups. High definition video over component connections Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have signed up to AACS, whose compliancy rules have shifted the decision to enable HD via component entirely to the studios. The hardware can either deliver HD both via the digital and component outputs, or downsample the component output to a standard defition signal. It all entirely depends on the individual studios. Hint. Maybe it's time the we had a HI-DEF/HD-DVD/Blu Ray forum. Work your magic Yoda...
