  • DVD CSS rule changes coming....

    The DVD Copy Control Association (DVD CCA), an industry association for Hollywood film studios and other content providers, is poised to adopt rule changes that will expand consumer choices for purchasing and downloading movies.

    Once the changes are finalized, customers will be able to download video content from online sources like the iTunes Music Store and save the content on blank DVDs. Brick-and-mortar retailers could create electronic kiosks of movies and allow customers to purchase copies by burning the movie to a blank DVD in the kiosk.

    The content made available to consumers will be protected by the DVD CCA's proprietary protection technology, the "Content Scramble System (CSS)." In order to make a copy of protected content, consumers would have to use a blank CSS-compatible disc.

    Greg Larsen, the spokesperson for the DVD CCA, said that there was no specific timeframe for the roll-out of the new duplication capabilities.

    "Given that it's being driven by market demand," Larsen said, "I expect that it will happen fairly quickly."

    According to a DVD CCA press release, all that remains is for the association's members and the board of directors to approve the proposed changes

    "...consumers would have to use a blank CSS-compatible disc."

    I can't wait to see what that means.

      I'm sure it's only a technicality and it has nothing to do with $$$

        Hmm. It requires their disc format. Bah!, says I. Bah!

          What it means is that DVD blanks now cannot burn CSS copy protection, which means those of us who do video for money have had to have our discs mastered to get it.

          Basically it'll be the same as a current blank but changed just a bit to allow CSS burning, which you can bet will be cracked by DVDShrink in about a week

            Will current burners have a chance at beeing compatible with this?

              There's nothing to crack. CSS is already broken. This just means new blanks, with the CSS fields burnable.

                Gee, I wonder if the CSS enabled ones will be more expensive?
