Current dvd players have the analog hole covered as you have to use a black box between a dvd player and a recorder to copy the analog signal. There will never be any devices made with component inputs (720p/1080i) for recording/capturing.

Has anyone tried connecting the Toshiba's S-video or composite video OUT to a DVD recorder yet?]]>May 30th 2006 3:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/May 30th 2006 4:06PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/May 31st 2006 6:44AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/05/30/macrovision-inks-deal-to-put-acp-in-aacs/

The more different technologies the content-owners heap into media technologies to control reproduction, the larger the population of dissatisfied consumers will grow. Eventually, the population will reach a critical size, where both the dissatisfaction is great enough and the skill-set of the consumer population is broad enough to make cracking the protection an attractive and practical proposition.

By making their format less consumer friendly (macrovision, region locks), industry is increasing the pressure to break copy-protection, thereby hastening it's failure.

Good plan, guys.]]>May 31st 2006 1:46PM
