Toshiba may give up on HD DVD

Posted: February 16th, 2008, 10:35am MST

LBL_TAG_TAGS: hd blueray [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

TOKYO (Reuters) - Toshiba is planning to give up on its HD DVD format for high definition DVDs, conceding defeat to the competing Blu-Ray technology backed by Sony , a company source said on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Plextor Europe announced the upcoming availability of its new Blu-ray burning / HD DVD reading optical drive that uses the faster SATA interface. The Plextor PX-B920SA (pictured below) is capable of writing Blu-ray discs at 4X speed and also offers the disc-labeling Lightscribe technology.

"Plextor has developed its second Blu-ray drive to be faster, dual-format, as it reads HD-DVD discs, and utilizes the SATA interface. Plextor has a long history in providing premium, high reliability optical drives and the new PX-B920SA sets the standard again," Rudy de Meirsman, Sales & Marketing Manager of Plextor Europe, said.

Having been developed to strict environmental and recycling standards, the Plextor PX-B920SA meets EU RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances) and WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directives. The Plextor PX-B920SA will be available from end of February 2008 at Plextor's network of dealers. It is covered by Plextor's Fast Warranty Service (2-year warranty in the EU, Norway and Switzerland (Collect & Return); other countries 1-year carry-in).

Hackers discover HD DVD and Blu-ray "processing key" -- all HD titles now exposed

Filed under: HDTV
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/security/HD_DVD_and_Blu_ray_DRM_Cracked'; Those cooky kids over at the Doom9 forums hate themselves some DRM. Not more than two months after discovering a means to extract the HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc "volume keys" to decrypt AACS DRM on individual films, we're now getting word that DRM hacker arnezami has found the "processing key" used to decrypt the DRM on all HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc films. Let's break this down for what it is: instead of needing individual keys for each and every high-definition film -- of which there are many -- the processing key can be used to unlock, decrypt, and backup every HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc film released so far. As arnezami points out, "nothing was actually hacked, cracked or even reverse engineered." All he had to do was keep an eye on his memory, watch what changed, and voila... the processing key appeared. So kick back and watch the trickle of HD titles hitting the torrents quickly turn into a flood (at ~20GB a pop, that's not an exaggeration) when the BackupHDDVD and BackupBluray utilities (or AnyDVD HD) are updated to reflect the new hack find.

[Thanks, Eric L]
