Quote:>HD-DVD vs Blu Ray contest is over., Do you care?I don't like the idea of DRM either, but movie companies are not going to release movies in high definition without DRM any time soon, at least until Higher Definition comes out. And you can't get that much higher until movies start to be shot in higher resolution. As I understand it audio tracks are already at the quality of the studio master.
Not really, I stick with DVD, a format not completely drowned in DRM extending out to not only the discs and players but almost all hardware used.
Fortunately, for me at least, the Blu-ray DRM does not interfere with use. The same could not always be said for, as an example, Diablo II. The only Blu-ray DRM issue that I have noticed is that it gets upset when I switch the monitor to another computer while the movie is playing. But then if I have the monitor switched to another computer I am not watching the movie anyhow.
