This is good news, cause now studios can't say 1 format's protection is better than the other. Just 1 less thing for the "war" to be fought over.

And to the guy who says its too expensive to backup hd media then perhaps you should consider the fact that it being so expensive to buy the original makes it worthwhile to backup, then at least you'll have your original to re-backup once your original backup gets ruined. And if that doesn't suit you then wait till the prices drop.

With 500GB HDDs for ~£100 (and these are  'UK' prices!), backing up isn't as expensive as it used to be.  I stopped burning stuff to DVD/CD media ages ago - I valued my time more.  Now I simply pick up another external USB HDD. - got a wardrobe full of 'em now

i live in the uk and love pcs i got 2 and a laptop. and i keep an eye on hardware prices quite a lot especially hds of which i have several and i quite agree that backing up isn't expensive but buying hd-dvd or blu-ray media may well turn out expensive which is the whole of backing up such media in the first place so you don't spend a fortune constantly replacing them anyway lol am not trying to argue here am just making a point

I'm going to make some T-shirts depicting the AACS decryption diagram and that signature if anyone is interested?

this is already a possibility.  WMV-HD rips are floating around the internet already that are 4.5 and 9 gigs.

And SlySoft just released a new version of AnyDVD-HD that can decrypt and re-author HD-DVDs!

This is good news, can't wait until a program like dvdfab decryper comes out for HDDVD and BLU-RAY

I'm aware that it is possible but it is currently being done with commercial tools.  Right now there is no free solution to come to this result.  It's not as easy as using DVD Shrink.

If I was Nintendo, MS, Sony and the stakeholders of Bluray and HD, I'd be asking for a refund from the people who worked on the security for said systems.

Actually the blame should be on the playback software on the PC. If they keep these kind of software from the PC none of these things woul dbe possible. But they got the keys from Cyberlink I suspect so they would get the blame.
