@magnetic_tape nodds in agreement

Ideally some #EEPROM without the write-enable pin exposed necessitating a clamp and manual flashing.

• OFC in an applianced solution one would do it like the #Xbox360's #ODD (#DVDROM) and encase that in a chip and make it #OTP...

Necessitating dangerous #hacks like the #KamikazeHack which are still possible but visible to the naked eye if a case design accounts for that.

• This would certainly be an option for "applianced" setups like an #SSH #terminal running @OS1337 ...

@Tathar I mean, #FPGA|s ain't that user-friendly in terms of setup and tooling, but #WebDevelopment as for #HDDVD should've been feasible for everyone who can make a site that doesn't look like shit on #InternetExploder 6!

• Bad jokes aside, I wounder if HD-DVD has any sort-of "#CopyProtection" that prevents like self-recorded discs from being played.

Cuz #bluray players do accept #BDROM discs from like those #miniBD #Camcorders...

• And even thos HD-DVD media and burners are basically #unobtanium these days, they should be able to use cheap #DVDROM since AFAIK most #DemoDiscs for HD-DVD were using #DVD media for cost savings as the #capacity of a #DualLayer-DVD is enough for the 15-30min looped #showreel footage and basically every HD-DVD drive I know does DVDs and CDs anyway so it's just #UDF 2.5 - ish.

And the whole "Copy Protection" - Pipeline with #HDCP & #AACS and the lice is only concerned about people duplicating #retail discs.

• Unlike #VideogameConsoles, these players were also #standalone & #offline-capable devices so #DRM like with the #Xbox360 and #XboxOne didn't really hapen,...

Espechally not on HD-DVD otherwise we'd not have this cool thing today!
