I don't think it's a rights issue, so much as a technological one. My
BDS300 BluRay player struggles with SD DVD-Rs. I suspect, like the early
standard definition DVD players, the early model BluRay players simply have
trouble reading dye-based DVDs.

Do I understand you to be saying that you burned standard definition DVDs
and played them on standard definition DVD players that upscale to HD? I
suppose I can do that, but I'd really prefer an all-HD delivery solution.
I've done a search for BluRay burners -- they're still in the $400-700
range, so I'm going to wait. Finished projects can be archived to tape (or
even cheapie external eSata drives) for now.
