| Yep!
But people are forgetting, unless you do some wild compression, no one is going to want to upload(several times?) 19~50GB per BD!
Hell! I dread even thinking about DOWNLOADING those kind of file sizes! Uploading? Not likely!

Houston, TX | Actually no. Most dialup services can grab that size of a file in less than an hour (give or take). Now a 100+MB file size however... |

Hell! Netlix has some BD titles.
Blanks sure need to come down in price though.

Playback of some BD movies hits 40mbps.
Any compression is going to trash picture quality and or cause artifacting.
Uhm, no thanks!

said by dadkins :Blanks sure need to come down in price though. True. But, media prices seem to fall fairly quickly nowadays. I can remember not too long ago when you could hardly even find DL media and even if you could, it was $5-7-10 per disk. |

| Cyberlink license revoked
Read the article. I can't believe that an organization can revoke the license for cyberlink and actually cause cyberlink to "flip a switch" to disable the blue ray dvd playing software on users machines. It would majorly suck if you paid for it, and then later on, you couldn't use it. I would be asking for a major refund!
Yet another reason why I am glad I have waited for the HD DVD / Blue Ray war to complete. |

| all of you are missing the point.
wake up!
its not about the BR/HD DVDs being traded. the folks that are cracking the protection on Blu-Ray DVDs and HD-DVDs are doing it to prove that the MPAA protection isn't worth a damn. who cares if the movies can be traded or not. its about the little guy beating the big bad evil corporate empire.
its the same reason most hackers do the thing that they do. to prove that it can be done.

Re: Yep!
I would think it would take (over bittorrent) just as much time to download a BD as it would to have one delivered from Netflix.
Also, you can't burn a HD/BD & the cost/trouble of having a PC setup with 1080P output to a 1080p TV is gonna be little high right now.
Seems like too much trouble right now, espically if i can't pop the disc into a BD/HD player after I download it. Not to mention the cost of the players.
I'll stick with my good ole DVD till the format wars are settled.
Hell I don't even bother downloading regular DVDs right now. But maybe if I give up my job/life I would have time to do all that. |

Re: all of you are missing the point.
I'm all for the cracking of it. It cost so much to create all this bullshit DRM that it eventually cost more per disc to produce.
If a DVD was normally priced at 10/12$ people would buy a lot more of them. Instead of getting netflix and copying them. |

Re: Yep!
Some of us *CAN* burn BD!
Whether or not a ripped then burned BD will play has yet to be seen.
As for connecting to a TV, this laptop has a HDMI port(came with the cable and a HDMI to DVI adapter too).

Re: all of you are missing the point.
Oh I understand. Trust me! I sure as hell want to backup my BD movies!
The trading part is still there though.
If you look, you can find HD DVDs on BT right now!
Same reason, because they can!
My reasons still stand though, these things have some big ass file sizes!
