» wow...
A really good move by Sony.. I always wonder how they will stop the piracy with this... but I have two questions
1. After the days passed and stop to play.. I can't connect and do it again to watch it again or what? or is just one time only?
2. I guess I can't add subtitles i that copy isn't? lol... it will be perfect for me if I can add subs. But since is a copy inside the dvd I guess not...

I always hate "Timed things". If Sony really wants us to buy into the idea, they need to make it uber easy. It needs to be on the disc, accessable on any DVD/portable device (and PCs) and copyright protected with DRM instead of having to "phone in" and have it die after a said amount of time.

It seems that Sony is stepping up on its efforts against piracy, as well as push sales of its in-house movies. This is through embedding digital copies of its movies on DVD with a digital copy ready to be watched on your PlayStation Portable, PlayStation 3, [b]and even on your PS3.[/b]
Holy *****!! I can watch it on my PlayStation 3 AND my PS3?!?!?!
QJ typos aside, I still find this hilarious. Imagine, one day maybe every DVD will include a digital copy of its content. In a less-than-transparent format, even? It's like the future, except the progress is in reverse!
An slightly exaggerated analogy is saying your Audio CD's now come with 64kbps mp3's [b]right on the disc, for your enjoyment![/b] Don't forget to register this CD online, to unlock the digital copy!
The entire purpose of digital media as opposed to analog is that zeroes and ones are easier to transmit without loss of information. Also known as "copying."
If one does not want a piece of data transmitted, it is usually best to not put it into the hands of the general public. Maybe the data should only be transmitted in sealed chambers, with potential viewers screened and searched before being granted clearance into the approved viewing zone.
Oh, wait...

» Actually, you are wrong about some stuff...
Audios stored on a Red Book standard have about 1400 kbps. This is achieved through the Nyquist bit rate theory. That is one major thing I remembered from my data communications class.
"The entire purpose of digital media as opposed to analog is that zeroes and ones are easier to transmit without loss of information."
Not really, for BUS transfers and Card Readers, yes, because transferring for these devices have always been digital to digital. There will always be loss of information because of noise generated. If a digital media is played (transferred from medium to receiver), the receiver(especially the speakers) always transmit analogous signal. Demodulating bits does not always match the source.

First, I don't think he was claiming the 64kb MP3s are what encoded to an audio disc. He meant an audio CD with a seperate data section including the said MP3 data which you'll be able to simply copy instead of encoding the raw audio chunks.
And yes, there most deff is loss of info when converting stuff for portable use like that. Audio and DVD (and higher blu-ray) is on a disc because it's a massive amount of data that's there for quality and not built around being portable. So of course when you rip a DVD (which can hold a good 9gb of data) into a 700mb divx (or other codec) video file it's going to be missing A LOT of the data or more accuratly, have it's quality compressed heavily. Same with taking the 1400kb audio source and converting it into something like a 128kb MP3.
But in the end, when you've got items such as simple MP3 players /w normal headphones for your audio and a PSP that you want to watch a ripped DVD on, then those lower quality, compressed files are just fine to our ears and eyes. It's when you've got a wikked home theater and stereo where you'll appreciate the source for it's quality.

wow very secure against piracy, if ....
...you not encode the movie and/or use a program to remove the security(and such programs will come out, only a matter of time)...

They need to do this for the iPod. All them hundreds of million people with video enabled iPods? They'd be stupid not to.
It's the way the market is going and saves people the time of having to encode a film to iPod. Sure it only takes my MacPro about 30 minutes to encode a film into a DVD quality iTunes file but anything that saves time is good for me.

Fox has a digital copy on some of their DVDs/Blu-rays, and they're using iTunes for it. The second disc contains the digital copy, and you just unlock it in iTunes, using the same DRM as things you purchase off the iTunes store so you can have it on up to 5 different devices. It's pretty slick!

Hope this will translate into a copy only being playable for, lets say, 48 hours.
And not, only being able to copy it for 48 hours, that would jsut stink o_o

That would piss me off to have to do the process over again, if allowed to, just to keep a movie on my PSP's memory stick. Say if I went on a trip and wanted to keep some movies on my PSP to enjoy now there is this hassle of them not working? How about if I bought some used Sony dvds? How would that work?

» This helps
If you want a quick copy of a movie to go, like a psp or memory stick to take to a friends ps3. You could convert your dvd to divx to store later. Instead of waiting on a conversion to finish you could just download the version off the dvd, than do your conversion as you sleep,or whatever.
