Re: Why Sony Will Die

Those WMV HD discs from the company that markets the Terminator disc have
pretty specific instructions included about how to play the discs. They
were/are a specialty item that allowed for HD playback on a computer long
before any other company had a marketable HD optical disc solution.

It's funny that Windows Media Player--which supports the DRM in the T2 HD
WMV file--could not be used to play this file.

Commercial Blue Ray and HD-DVD solutions will operate in a
different way and you won't be able to play them in any fricken player you
choose...you will need a Blue Ray or HD-DVD player.

Yes, but *any* Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player will play their respective
Blu-Ray/HD-DVD discs. But, for the T2 HD video, only a *specific* WMV
DRM-enabled player could play the content...and the company that invented
the DRM didn't have a player on the "approved" list even though the
playback codec was created by the company that created the DRM. How
screwy is that?
