HD-DVD wont output full quality to current HDTV devices
http://www.lostcoders.net/news/hd-dvd-wont-output-full-quality-to-current-hdtv-devices/
From the above url.
The movie industry and others will go to great lengths to combat
piracy, even if that means hurting early adopters of HDTV technology
by crippling functionality. AACS, the DRM-esque technology for HD-DVD
players, will not produce a full quality signal from component video
connectors, as analog is unsafe. The resulting resolution is 960×540
- more than a standard TV, but vastly inferior to the actual 1920×1080
resolution that HD will support natively. Thats not the end of it
either.
In addition to the image constraint issue, AACS has a few unresolved
points, so the first players that are due to come out this spring
wont have all the features promised by HD DVD and Blu-ray. For one
thing, you wont be able to copy material from a disc to, say, your PC
via the managed copying function.
It seems with each successive advancement in technology, another
copy-protection scheme is unveiled that hurts the casual consumer more
than anything, or at least those who are unaware. Potentially, you
will be able to upgrade some hardware as standards become finalized to
allow your hardware to function better with AACS, but I wouldnt count
on it.
Next-Gen DVD Copy-Protection Debacle
Hollywood screws 3 million HDTV owners, sucks in general.
