Jake Ludington: How to Copy HD-DVDs
Posted by Jeremy Charette in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"One of the key disadvantages of HD-DVD is no convenient way to make back-up copies of the discs. The HD-DVD spec supports what's known as a managed copy, but so far none of the HD-DVD disks I own have this feature. If I want to watch my HD content somewhere other than my Xbox, or if I want to backup my $30 investment, at this point, I have to create my own solution. Until someone starts giving me managed copies, I'm making copies of my HD-DVDs to watch them where I want to using an analog solution. Following the guidelines presented here, you can use an Xbox 360 with the HD-DVD drive and a PC to make copies of HD-DVD movies."
Why? Because you can. That's all there is to say about this solution to HD DVD copy protection. If you've got the money, go for it...but I'll be watching my HD DVD movies off of the disc, thank you very much.
