Okay, I'm no expert on this... but no doubt there is great progress.

Is there any progress on streaming HD (EVO file format) to the 360?

Cant you just use Tversity and the proper codecs to transcode it?


^Yes that should work, now that AACS is bypassed so is HDCP.

Most people don't need to store it in 1080p, because they only have 720p displays, so around 9-10Gb per movie is enough. And with some minor degradations it will fit on a DVD-(+)R DL. So....

....that's it. The movie industry is defeated before the new HD formats even really started.... ok, we NEED to get that working on Blue Ray too, so no unfair things will happen, like movie industry only supporting BlueRay.... or maybe only HDDVD, because the market for drives would rise rapidly....

Are tools available to convert HD-DVD to WMV?  If so you can convert to WMV-HD, and stream it with WMP11, or play it right back on your Xbox's DVD drive.

Oh and a note for the "DRM haters".

DRM has, and will always exist, in one form or another.  Sure it's harder to enforce when your install base is 10 million.  There will always be serial #s, validation checks, etc., etc.  Studios will always protect their assets.  DRM will not hurt sales more than .001% (that's about 10,000 360s, pretty high average).  

And if there was no DRM, piracy would quadrulple.

So "yay" for the little guy taking on the big corporation, but don't think protected media will ever stop.  People steal less cars and break into less homes with locked doors, it's a proven fact.
