Don't expect the first HD DVD and Blu-ray copy

With HD DVD and Blu-Ray gradually in the spring time in the market, involving to the AACS (advanced access content system) is elevated to the surface. However the current message from PC World, because the interim transitional solution, from both of these formats in the copy file is not possible.

At present the whole of the AACS specifications, not 100% yet, although some manufacturers such as Toshiba's ready player. Therefore want to be the next-generation DVD market formats, the current release of the interim AACS specifications actually missing a lot of details. Special major missing is Managed Copy (control copy), the impact is cannot let CD content in their own home network transmission, not even for backup purposes, or even physical copy of the content will be transferred to your portable player.

It was very strange, isn't it? AACS LA spokesman said, "now the player, all of which is authorized based on the transition agreement and therefore cannot support management capabilities. "Of course, we believe that manufacturers are launched the first generation of the player is fully accessible through a firmware upgrade to join a copy of the management support, once the final specification set, otherwise not be irresponsible as to market.

But we need to see a very sad fact, or that is a pity: Toshiba Toshiba introduced by HD-A1 (9), as well as HD-XA1 (9) are not supported by the firmware upgrade copy the "management", even though the machine provided above for future expansion of USB interfaces, but currently does not determine what functionality. Similarly there is in the vanguard of the market in June, the company launched the Pioneer Elite BDP-HD1 (00), 5 month Samsung to launch of the Samsung BD-1000 (00).

Because the last reminds those who want to start with a friend in the first instance: want to first gain experience, please forget Managed Copy!
