Everyone else here read that format war is over now that Toshiba have dropped their own HD-DVD format systems, even though they say they won't do Bluray atm.

What about the other supporters of HDDVD?

Lol read this list

LOL, so I'm guessing it really needed Toshiba to go anywhere?

Didn't Toshiba develop the HD-DVD format

The main reason HD-DVD is dead now is because the adult film industry (Hustler, Playboy and the likes) selected Blu-ray instead of HD-DVD. Fact.

Also, funny because Sony objected to adult material on their format.

Indeed azcn... Whatever Porn chose won tbh...

Bluray makes it easier for them to encode and put more encryption crap on. Thus making the DVD's harder to copy... Which is the main reason this all came about.

I was under the impression they both used very similar encryption methods.

:/ huh...

I thought I read somewhere that BluRay was a lot more secure O.o

Blu-ray has already been hacked.

They were both hacked back in 2006. It's not really that hard when you think about it.

They were both hacked pretty easily. I remember one of them had this big thing about a security key that was found quickly and then spread like wildfire across the internet.

You don't really even need to crack them, just get something with a HDMI input and record from that while playing.
