I apologize for asking such a question, however no combination of search terms I could think of was generating a reasonable answer (Yes, I did re-read the entire HD-DVD VUK sticky).

Besides "Nature's Colors", I recall that there was at least one more HD-DVD that was released without AACS protection. Can anyone remind me which one it is?

Thank you very much.

(I would like this information in order to present a business case to NOT include region protection/encryption in one of the video projects that I contributed to, and that is hopefully going to be releases for public consumption in a forseeable future)

Since this forum is about Decrypting and your thread specifically is not, I think it might get more traction in General Discussion.

Moved.

Great. Thank you very much as well. It was published by EMS GmbH, right?

What about Elephants Dream? Didn't that not have any encryption?

I don't understand why there are not more non-protected discs released, especially on DVD. The CSS licensing costs and macrovision costs are probably quite a large percentage of the price of a budget DVD and the "protection" they offer is a good as useless. So DVDs could be even cheaper if they binned the DRM.
