HD For Indies

It's pretty insane that they expect people to pitch their existing monitors and video cards into the trash, particularly since making illicit copies of a video by snatching it off the DVI link is probably one of the least likely methods of piracy. Once the signal is headed toward the screen, of course, it's uncompressed. Readers of this site certainly know the challenges and expense of working with uncompressed HD. Plus, since you have to re-encode, it's lossy.

So, requiring HDCP is a massive hassle for regular users, but is unlikely to make any difference to pirates at all; they'll just crack the on-disk format, same as they did for DVD.

When you mix this nonsense with the fact that nobody seems to be releasing anything in 1080p (HD-DVD doesn't even support it), Sony's current Blu-Ray authoring tools apparently don't don't support anything but MPEG-2, and blank media costs far more per gigabyte than hard drive storage... these formats are shaping up to be pretty big flops.
 

I think the Cyberlink tool is highly missleading.

Microsoft has said that they cannot do HD-DVD or BD in the 32 bit environment, essentially due to unsigned drivers being exploitable security hole. So 64 bit versions of Vista, which will require signed drivers only, will only be allowed to decode the discs.

They then backpeddled to say that they are not preventing decoding of the new discs in other Windows, but instead that it will be up to third party vendors (i.e. Cyberlink) to make those agreements and do it.

Here the catch... If Microsoft is not able to make the studios happy until they can lock down Windows, how is little Cyberlink going to convince the same studios (via AACS licensing) that they can run on 32 bit Windows, XP or Vista?

So it's not really about yuor level of hardware. It's about the studios willingness to allow their HD content into the public in anything short of an armored truck.
