Blu-ray’s “managed copy” feature has been a long time coming, but studios are now being asked to support it on their discs even without test hardware. One industry insider describes the process to Ars. So does it work? We won’t know until some time in 2010!
“I started panicking about a month ago,” says Jason Rosenfeld, the founder of Scenic Labs. The company makes Blu-ray 1080p “ambient discs” that include titles like “The Classic Fireplace,” “Coral Reef Aquarium,” and “Journey Through Space,” and Rosenfeld was trying to figure out how to enable Blu-ray’s forthcoming “managed copy” feature for his discs.
As one of the first companies to turn out discs with the “managed copy” logo on the back, though, Rosenfeld soon learned the pitfalls of being an early adopter—especially when no test hardware exists. We asked him about the experience of supporting a spec that’s still in the “blueprint” phase.
A short set of ramblings, outtakes and scraps, from my 2.0 life. You will notice that too much of the stuff I post and link to relates to the market segments that I have the greatest passion for — pro audio, music & cinema — but I am also a geek in my spare time and I post a lot of 'random' stuff as well.
