UltraViolet: the next frontier?

[marcusj0015]

No, theres no reason anyone would want the UltraViolet track when we have the highest quality track from the BD already and it's much easier to get ahold of.

Next step: UltraViolet gets implemented in Intel latest Ivy Bridge line of chips (later this year)

Current step: blaming people who sell the unneeded/unwanted code of copyright infringement (http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120418/20330218550/is-selling-your-ultraviolet-code-copyright-infringement.shtml).

The PMP required is already implemented since NT 6 fully used by Microsoft heavily and starting with Sandy Bridge Intel used it with it's own Platform and where the first to get the Green Light and approval by Hollywood so everything is ready by these days (this took some years to prepare though starting with all the TPM stuff and controversial discussion about it which evolved heavily and got it's own counterpart into the CPU and Bios directly for the Content Industry) ;)

So on time Theatre Releases in HD everything is setup in a protected environment (some stuff is yet missing though will come with WIN 8), the same Ultraviolet is using.

The PMP required is already implemented since NT 6 fully used by Microsoft heavily...Well, there is a difference between having it implemented on the OS or hardware level.
The first can be bypassed by somebody like DVD-John while the second ain't that easy...

Anyway, it looks like it might be time to have a few spare mobo+CPU in the closet. :sly:

Ultraviolet, digital copy, DVD, whatever - all the crap they pack in with Blu-ray Discs is astonishing. All I want is the BD! I don't want to watch 20 minutes of a film on my 3" telephone screen on the bus!

All I want is the BD! I don't want to watch 20 minutes of a film on my 3" telephone screen on the bus!And you will have all that for at least the next few years.
Maybe longer since AMD (and ARM in a year or two) might
not join Intel for a while even if only to differentiate themselves.

And by then DIY Raspberry Pi PCs might be enough...:)

I for one can't stand ultraviolet. For one you pay for it and you will never have or own a physical portable file. UltraViolet is not portable. You have to have an internet connection to stream it. Then there is no fastforward or skipping chapters. And even when I did download it thru flixster it was taking up about 1GB but would still crash when playing it. I will not buy any blu-ray that has ultraviolet no matter how much I like the movie! Dam you Green Lantern!!!!!!!
