But when you service claimes things like "now fixed, 94%, almost any player". Not to mention their precious DRM doesn't even work on the disc. A strategy rethink comes to mind when I think of this service. It sounds like they want people to think "For $5 more, maybe I should just buy it at the store so I know it's going to play."<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shirizaki]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 6th 2006 6:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CinemaNow claims 94% of download-to-burn DVDs work]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/cinemanow-claims-94-of-download-to-burn-dvds-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/cinemanow-claims-94-of-download-to-burn-dvds-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[Heh.

While the intention may be to prevent piracy, the "real" large-scale pirates who might actually be a problem to the industry will always find a workaround. DRM is only a problem to the non tech-savvy consumer, who can't figure out why his DVD will play on his PC but not the DVD player in the lounge, or why the music he bought from itunes won't work on his non-ipod. Those who know what they're doing will simply follow the pirates, and either remove the DRM or use a different and possibly illegal source which doesn't have it in the first place. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[treetrunk]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 7th 2006 9:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on CinemaNow claims 94% of download-to-burn DVDs work]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/cinemanow-claims-94-of-download-to-burn-dvds-work/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/06/cinemanow-claims-94-of-download-to-burn-dvds-work/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good call treetrunk, and this is what pisses me off about DRM, THERE IS NO POINT.  The average consumer doesn't want to distribute illegal DVD's, and if he wants to get them there are a multitude of places where he/she can.

Or I can burn my own single-layer DVD, which means I get lower quality (in order to squeeze it onto the disk), no 1-hour making-of documentary, and no case.
