VC-1 Technical Overview

VC-1 has performed well in other independent subjective quality tests:
*DV Magazine found VC-1 to be superior to both MPEG-2 and MPEG-4.
*TANDBERG Television found VC-1 produces significantly better quality than MPEG-2 and comparable quality to H.264. These results were presented at the 2003 International Broadcasting Convention (IBC).
*C'T Magazine, Germany's premiere audio-video magazine, compared various codecs, including VC-1, H.264, and MPEG-2, and selected VC-1 as producing the best subjective and objective quality for high-definition (HD) video.
*The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) found VC-1 had the most consistent quality in tests that compared VC-1, RealMedia V9, the Envivio MPEG-4 encoder, and the Apple MPEG-4 encoder.

Analyst: PS3 father axed over "not enough delivery"

With the recent announcement that the father of the PS3, Ken Kutaragi, is set to leave Sony, analysts are speculating that Kutaragi was pushed because the launch of the PS3 didn’t live up to the hype.

Officially, Kutaragi is retiring and will leave his post as Sony Computer Entertainment’s chairman and chief executive in June. He will be replaced by, Kazuo Hirai, who is currently the company’s president and chief operating officer

Kutaragi is credited for the success of the PS1 and PS2, but analysts and commentators speculate that the perceived failure of the PS3 may be real reason for his departure from Sony, and that his “retirement” may actually be a face saving exercise on behalf of Sony. It seems that his previous success was not enough to save him from becoming a scapegoat.

Hard-hitting analyst at IDC, Billy Pidgeon, made it clear why he thought Kutaragi was leaving.

Sony had too much hype and not enough delivery,” Pidgeon told AP.

“Sony didn’t notice that their audience was dwindling and didn’t increase the base by playing to a wider demographic, and instead it played the old-school game of playing to the 18- to 32-year-old male early adopter.”

The PS3 has been criticized for being too expensive and over engineered. Production shortages haven’t helped.

Kutaragi’s “retirement” indicates that all is not well at Sony’s head office. At only 56, it’s very unlikely that he would retire after the recent launch of his latest console, especially when he’s had such outstanding success with the PS1 and PS2.

If Kutaragi’s “retirement” is actually a face-saving exercise on behalf of Sony, it may well backfire. It indicates that Sony is very unhappy with the launch of the PS3, and that it’s simply running out of ideas. Not a good sign at all…

Presented in 1080p with the MPEG-2 codec, 'Kiss of the Dragon' is a visual mess. This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing, but the standard-def edition of this film has a higher quality print that's shockingly more stable. B)

http://www.dvdtalk.c...ad.php?ID=25153

Arriving in a 1080p, AVC/MPEG-4 Encoded, 2:35:1 Widescreen Aspect Ratio, Kiss of the Dragon, unfortunately I might add, marks the first real disappointing Fox Blu-Ray title.

The problem I had here is that so much of the transfer felt like a SD-DVD transfer. Detail is horrendous with so many areas requiring the viewer to either squint or simply not try to see what's going on. The lighting effects were soft and dark (as are the locales), never giving the viewer any assistance what so ever. Resolution is also another problem here, as Kiss of the Dragon never has that HD type transfer that we expect. This was extremely odd too because the first 10-15 minutes actually looked pretty damn good.

Color usage was severely affected by the aforementioned lighting issues. Colors were never bright, clear or easy to consistently make out. A majority of the sequences were gloomy and drab looking, possibly which was done on purpose. This was quite the odd choice Fox decided on as part of their initial wave of titles, as Kiss of the Dragon never fully looks impressive.

"Disney did bring a request to the steering committee to add region control to HD DVD, but Collins says "it hasn't gone anywhere" and he doesn't believe it ever will. Many of the other 20 companies on the steering committee actively oppose region coding, and it can't be added to players already sold."

Disney :ph34r:

Ser ut som det där är gammalt som ********, det var mycket snack förut om hur Disney ville få in regions kodning i HD DVD före innan formaten lanserades. Det har tagits upp många ggr på avsforum. Men nu vill Amir inte svara på när Disney tog upp detta senast utan vinklade såklart om svaret till HDi osv osv, jag ställde frågan igen, kortare och mer direkt, och han ignorerade det helt.
MAO, detta är samma gamla citat som diskuterats länge och Amir vill inte förstöra snacket genom att skjuta ner det :rolleyes:

The real issue is Digg has been accepting money to censor any negative HD-DVD stories for months now. This whole thing makes "phase hydra" look like childs play comparatively.

It is amazing to watch it all blow up in the face of the HD-DVD promotion group.

AACS: A Lesson in Futility

The latest chapter in the fight against piracy is making its way into news headlines today, with the unofficial confirmation that a processing key for HD DVD titles (and possibly Blu-ray titles) was leaked onto the web. I say "unofficial" because while AACS has not confirmed its existence, or the amount of damage it will undoubtedly cause, they are not hesitating to issue cease and desist orders to every website and blog that posts the mysterious code. If their reaction is to be a judge of the impact, this is going to be a huge problem for movie studios.

The Advanced Access Content System (AACS) is the one of the three anti-piracy tools available to Blu-ray studios in order to protect their intellectual property from being freely distributed against their will. Thus far, it has proven to be as effective as a screen door on a submarine. The first Title Key was discovered on the web in January, and it took them three months to address the issue - not exactly the definition of a prompt response. The problem was a memory leak in a popular PC software player which left the Title Keys (codes unique to each movie) readable with a memory dump. The April fix rejected those codes and required the software players to fix the leak.

More recently, an Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on was modified to allow the computer to bypass the AACS system to some degree, paving the way for future applications which could potentially bypass the system completely, meaning any key change would have zero effect on the drive's ability to read and copy media.

Now, a processing key has been inadvertently leaked to the web (some say by AACS themselves), making all HD DVD discs wide-open for copying. Whether you're for or against Digital Rights Management (DRM) is inconsequential; the effects of piracy are felt by all. When AACS was first cracked, Universal (HD DVD) and Fox (Blu-ray) pulled their releases off the table and waited for a fix. That means less titles released, and no matter how you spin it, that is bad news for consumers.

Universal's reaction to this news is yet to be seen, but they surely can't be happy. Fox has taken a more proactive stance by speeding up the development of an anti-piracy technology they helped get added into the Blu-ray spec: BD Plus (BD+). The current rumors circulating are that Fox is waiting for testing to be completed for BD+ before releasing any titles using the new technology (which should be sometime in June).

The worst aspect of this entire situation has to be the actions taken by AACS themselves. The key was posted, and then numerous hacker sites posted the key to spread the word. While it was available, it was contained to that relatively small group of individuals. Then AACS started issuing cease and desist orders, and that is when mainstream media caught on. Now, the code is everywhere - even on t-shirts - and it has become impossible to stop the virus. How one organization can be so sloppy is beyond me, but one thing is sure: AACS has failed.The latest chapter in the fight against piracy is making its way into news headlines today, with the unofficial confirmation that a processing key for HD DVD titles (and possibly Blu-ray titles) was leaked onto the web.

Commentary - Is "Muslix" a fake hacker?

[EDIT: 07-02-03 - Since writing this opinion piece over a month ago, I have had a couple of letters telling me that Muslix was going to do a Bluray version too. I would have been prepared to retract my opinion if he DID actually do this, but he never finished this version and seems to have dissappeared, leaving behind widely published interviews in which he mentions BD+ being an extra step of Bluray protection, and an unfinished BD backup program. My opinion is even stronger. I have added my new commentary at the bottom of this story....]

Some of you will have heard about the HD DVD "backup tool" that was released a week ago by a fellow that calls himself "Muslix".

In actuality, this is not an HD DVD "crack" at all, but merely a textbook AACS decoder, which requires that the specific title keys be supplied for each title. It cannot actually "crack" any movie titles, in the way that DVD "backup" programs do.

However, the release by "Muslix" of the specific keys for 5 or so titles, which could be considered insider information, and the timing of his "attack" on the HD DVD format, leads me to WONDER about the true intentions of "Muslix".

In looking at the facts, I have come to the conclusion that this looks more like a case of corporate sabotage, born of desperation, than a case of a true hacker attack. In fact, I think he started working on this HD DVD attack after it was discovered that the PS3 could be used to copy Bluray movies.

Here are some of the things that cause me to question this "Muslix" release and it's timing:

1) Coming only two weeks before the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), at which HD DVD was said to be in a good position for more announcements of support, we consider the "timing" of this action to be highly suspect. In addition, he has done his best to get the maximum publicity for his action by posting videos on youtube and on various forums.

2) "Muslix", as he calls himself, is not even the correct spelling. We feel that this means he is attempting to indicate he is domiciled in Europe, when he is likely actually in the US. (It's "Mueslix", son...)

3) The "hack" that he has released actually equally affects both HD DVD and Bluray, yet he has only released a version to attack HD DVD.

4) As a defence, he claims to only own an HD DVD player, which would indicate to most that he is an exclusive supporter of the HD DVD format. Yet he releases a so-called "tool" like this, and publicises it in a big way, knowing full well the damage that it could cause the format.

5) Remember, the tool he is promoting does not actually "crack" AACS. It is only a textbook implementation of the AACS decoder, which requires codes that it cannot crack. He has been gunning for publicity and overpromising on what the "tool" actually does, thereby leading one to believe that getting publicity for a "weakness" in HD DVD is the only objective he has in mind.

6) YET, "Muslix" has chosen to release a select few HD DVD AACS title codes, but not a tool to crack them, and has only chosen to do so against HD DVD, but not Bluray. We would ask you to note that WERE HE to release a true hacking tool, or release the means by which to crack or expose AACS keys, then he would be exposing the Bluray disc format to the same attack and would LOSE control over his grandstanding.
EDIT: I have been corrected this morning - although "Muslix" (sic) has claimed to be releasing keys, he has not actually done so. The "keys" that some thought appeared in his video were actually just hash values that meant nothing. This further enforces the impression this appears to be a grandstanding PR event.

7) He promises to "release" more HD DVD title codes in the future, which looks more like corporate blackmail to us than anything else. EDIT: corrected "more".

8) How did he obtain these key codes? If it was truly through a weakness in a PC player program as he lets others imply, then why did he not indicate how? Again, this leads us to believe he is just running a publicity campaign, but does not want to lose control and let the "hack" hurt the Bluray format. As long as he does not release Bluray AACS codes also, then he will only be "damaging" the HD DVD format.

9) Cyberlink has now denied that Muslix got the keys via their PowerDVD program, lending credence to Muslix having obtained insider information.

10) Muslix claims to have just "picked up" a copy of the AACS specs and tapped out this program in 8 days, with no previous experience. uh huh....

11) And finally, why did he choose to write the "tool" in Java? The obvious answer is that it is what he is most comfortable with. Given how close the Java camp and Sun are, as an integral part of the Bluray disc association, it seems to indicate, again, that "Muslix" is not actually an HD DVD supporter, but more likely in the Bluray camp. This is a more tenuous conclusion, but a reasonable one nonetheless. Of course, it is possible that using Java was just a "dig" at the HD DVD camp, an "insider joke", if you will. But then this would also indicate that this is an attack on the HD DVD format by desperate Bluray supporters.

So, in my opinion, I feel that "Muslix" is just trying to mount a PR campaign against HD DVD, while trying to maintain control over his "weapon" by not releasing a Bluray version, Bluray Keys, or and actual means to crack the AACS scheme on either HD DVD or Bluray.

And so, in summary, is there enough evidence to believe that "Muslix" is less "hacker hobyist" and more "corporate saboteur"? In my opinion, the answer to that question is a "Yes". Hopefully, we'll find out one day...

[EDIT: 07-02-03 - Since this opinion piece went online one month ago, I've had a couple of emails from people telling me that Muslix64 had said he would write a "bluray" version also. I have been following progress on this, as I would be only too happy to reverse my opinion if Muslix really DID do the same hack to Bluray.

Unfortunately, he has not done so. He wrote "half" a backup program for Bluray, which only decrypts "title" keys for the format. Title keys are easily cancelled, and these "half" a backup program would be shut down by publishers quite easily. Not only that, but decrypting a disc by title key only means that much of the content remains encrypted and won't play - as has been reported by users on Doom9.

He has NOT developed the same "Volume Unique Key" functionality that he did for the HD DVD version and now seems to have dropped out of sight. What he DID do, however, was interview with journalists, one of which was published quite widely. In these interviews he made special mention of the BD+ copy protection of Bluray being and extra step of protection.

So, for the time being, not only do I stand strongly behind my opinion, but that opinion is reinforced.]

Sony and The BDA Enter "Phase: HYDRA" - To Seed Online Forums?

Sony and The BDA Enter "Phase: HYDRA" - To Seed Online Forums?

An informal report on the latest BDA meeting in Fukuoka appears to have let the proverbial “cat out of the bag”! It seems that mention was made, at the meeting, that the BDA have entered what they have endearingly called “Phase HYDRA”!! What, pray tell, is “Phase HYDRA”? A new two-headed BD player profile? A new Dual-format player from the BDA? A bird.. a plane? NO!! It’s apparently a new “viral marketing” campaign underway that apparently seeks to “seed” (or perhaps “stuff”) the online techie forums with fake bluray supporters – hired guns, if you will – who are talking up Bluray and it’s supposed “imminent victory” in the format war.

To quote the AVSforum post from the unofficial, but illustrious, undercover reporter: “-- The BDA has formally kicked off a new PR campaign called "Phase Hydra"....its purpose is to seed "high profile" forums with Blu-ray advocates and target bloggers to promote Blu-ray to get the word out to the world...the campaign will also focus on "smaller, independent studio issues"...

What we have here, perhaps, is a blatant failure to communicate… honestly, that is. Well, quite naturally, the online forums are in an uproar over this issue. The thought of having paid imposters, who are really just commercial shills, wandering through the various discussions on the forums and posting false opinions and disinformation has really gotten the goat of various respected, senior members of these communities.

So what does “Phase HYDRA” signify? Is it “watering” the seeds of doubt in the forums? Is it posters who appear to be one thing (one face) but are actually another? Is it like gas-phase hydration, which requires that a certain critical density of molecules be present in order to be successful? Is it the akin to the growth of a plant hydra? Who knows what clever meaning was in the mind of whoever thought up the rather incriminating name, but one poster online speculated: “Heh, I dunno, but I assume the analogy is to sprout the illusion of many heads/mouthpieces (consumers/users) from a single body (BDA/Sony).”

I wish I could show you the AVSforum thread opened for the discussion but, sadly, it got rather pointed and was deleted by the responsible AVS moderators! But discussion is present on other forums still, here, and here, and here.

Now to be fair, I must add that the Bluray voices on the forums have gone into full damage-control spin mode on this issue. They are effectively denying that it is as bad as it looks on the surface, claiming that it’s just a little PR campaign to get the word out on the forums, and that there is nothing sinister about codeword: “Phase HYDRA” at all… (cough********cough). A Sony insider on AVSforum said “Part of the presentation in question covers the importance of attending to all the communications on Blu-ray, including forums like this one.”

I think you’ll have to make your OWN judgement on this particular brouhaha, I’m afraid. I have. In my opinion it is just MORE underhanded and devious tactics, the end result of which is likely to be more blatant and antagonistic attacks on HD DVD supporters within the forums, under the guise of new members who have suddenly appeared since September/October 06, up until April 07, with very aggressive BD-fensive posting styles. Various forums have been targeted, and I’ve noticed it on Gametrailers.com and other forums also.

Fortunately, these hired guns are quite easy to spot for those who are regular visitors to the forums – many of them stick out like sore thumbs. Though they often start their “careers” on the forum with a few innocuous posts in less relevant topics like “WERD! Like what concerts are you guys looking forward to on DVD, man!”, they quickly gravitate to the HD/BD action and start lobbing grendades.

Be on the alert for these shills, and don’t hesitate to report your suspicions to the site moderators. In the last five days alone, I personally have noticed about 20 people who have suddenly who just “popped” up in this fashion – on AVSforum alone! Some of them registered in September, most in 2007, but all recently became very active.

If in doubt, it’s probably not your imagination…If you spend time in the forums, get busy against these hired guns. Let's show them that true supporters are better than paid ones.

Universal responds to Blu-ray rumors

By Henning Molbaek
FIRST PUBLISHED May 11, 2007
Recent rumors, apparently started by Pioneer, said that Universal was about to abandon its HD-DVD only strategy. The proved to be false (As we expected.)

Here is the official statement from Universal:

"Rumors circulating that Universal has switched allegiances to support Blu-ray are totally false. We are committed to a line-up of incredible HD DVD titles worldwide this year and continue to be a vocal participant in the promotion of HD DVD. The reality is that HD DVD continues to offer better value for consumers with the lowest prices for hardware, the highest quality content and superior interactive experiences."

Struntar fullständigt i vilka copy-åtgärder företagen sysslar med. Jag vill kunna:
1) Köpa filmen
2) Stoppa i den i min BD-spelare
3) Titta på filmen
Det är allt. Är övertygad om att BD gänget kommer se till att detta är möjligt utan problem, ser ingen anledning att tro något annat. Men jag vet inte, kanske är jag inte så paranoid av mig heller...  :(

Där är det krystat med BD, vissa filmer regionsfria andra inte, HD DVD = regionsfrihet vilket direkt speglar de båda lägrens filosofi.

Apropå filosofi...

Mark Knox från Toshiba talar om HD DVDs filosofi om hur du ska kunna göra din egen "director's cut" av en film och skicka via nätet till din kompis. Allt tack vare obligatorisk Internet-uppkoppling på alla HD DVD spelare :) som inte finns på alla blu-ray spelare . Han talar om detta ca 3 min in i intervjun här från CES 2007 i januari: http://www.cinenow.c...-video-587.html

Är man intresserad av detta så kan man väl se till att köpa en spelare med just den funktionen?
Är inte direkt svårt att komma ihåg när man väljer spelare, HD DVD's PiP spec och andra sidan, det blir lite knivigare :( Vill man ha PiP i HD så får man välja ett annat format :)
