[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 111848, member: 14776"] This is not correct. Digital cinemas ( [url]http://www.dcimovies.com/[/url] ) will feature so-called "4k" movies with approx. 8 megapixel for every frame, full chroma-resolution, 12-bit amplitude resolution, and very low-compression jpeg2000-motion featuring wavelet-compression. This standard also allows 48fps (although at "2k" resolution only). They will also feature lossless 48-channel uncompressed 24bit/192kHz audio. Studios may film their movie in anything from consumer DV-cam up to super-high-fidelity equipment, but I am quite assured that they will assure that the movie theaters always have the edge on home-equipment. I agree that the content providers crave for DRM. But who is it that gains from proprietary DRM? Apple are the ones who benefit the most from DRM in iTunes/iPod. I will bet a lot that the main reason why Microsoft is sleeping with the DRM-proposers is that they see the upcoming competition from opener, free software. Their solution is (as always), "embrace and proprietarize", but this time they also can hide behind stupid politicians that allow things like the "Digital Millenium Copyright Act". Face it, as long as M$ persues content owners into using their (good and free) tools for distributing content with DRM, they have a very good toold for ensuring that users have to purchase their software in 2030 when I want to listen to a music file or read a federal document. Have a google for muslix64 on doom9 forum. He has made a java implementation of the HD-DVD and BluRay decryption routine, and clever people have found that major PC-based players expose the necessary key in clear view in memory when playing the title. Voila. DRM never "work" the way that security people claim (stopping hackers and pirates). IT works only by making it difficult enough that casual users dont copy any media. And in many (most?) cases, those people are actually allowed by law to make personal copies, or copies for their close friends. So the content industry are actually in practical terms avoiding legal rights of citizens! On the positive side, I have read several stories about music companies that are facing realities lately and are considering selling music in plain mp3. Why? Because users simply refuse to purchase DRM-crap. That is the power of boycott. Having to liva as I preach, I started purchasing DVD-A the minute the format was "cracked". I have never uploaded or downloaded such content, but I want to be sure that I can do as I want with it. -k [/QUOTE]
