[QUOTE="joboehl, post: 154274, member: 23490"] Nope, depends on the provider. Some use MPEG2 and some use H.264. Nope, not all (if any) HD-DVD or Blue-Ray today have the HDCP enforcement. That's optional by the specification and it's not being currently inforced. Also, not all HD-DVD/BlueRay uses H.264/VC1.
