Apparently #Toshiba rushed #HDDVD so hard to the market they literally released a #Pentium4-based #Linux box with a #Desktop #Drive as their first #Player...
- Any #veteran #KernelDevs and #FLOSS #Lawyers wanna pull a #BusyBox and beat the HD-DVD specs out of them in court?
Please, go ahead!
- And yes, #Microsoft prolonged the #FormatWar at the expense ob #bluray solely to get their #Streaming and #Download business off the ground.
So in the format war of blu-ray vs HD-DVD vs #HDVMD (yes you read right there existed a 3rd format, HD-VMD, that just tried to do absurd layer numbers to still use red lasers and be in theory cheaper to make discs and drives for!), the real winner are shitty Streaming Services like #Netflix and the like.
- Tho I still think #BitTorrent owns them all as #delistings and absurdly high #subscription fees and lack of #physical releases at reasonable prices resurged #piracy , but that's just me #ReadingTheRoom and saying the obvious thing noone wants to admit - I just don't pirate so I can talk about it!

in reply to Kevin Karhan • • •I wounder: Is there a #HDDVD #DemoScene?
Cuz apparently HD-DVD menues are just #Web 2.0 pages with #JavaScript, #HTML 4.0 and #CSS, so way easier to get started than #BDJ aka. #bluray - #Java...

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

And the whole "Copy Protection" - Pipeline with #HDCP & #AACS and the lice is only concerned about people duplicating #retail discs.
Espechally not on HD-DVD otherwise we'd not have this cool thing today!

Almost reminds me of the #Windows7 and #WindowsVista editions.

in reply to gettie ( arc) • • •@getimiskon Lets just say, I hope #Gimp3 gets more than a move to #GTK3 but a complete overhaul in #UI & #UX...
They just work out of the box.

in reply to Kevin Karhan • • •@getimiskon That being said there's nothing wrong using #GIMP and I'd rather use that than to ever give #Adobe or #AVID money.
So yeah, I do want to see #Linux ports of #Affinity's Suite and #Blackmagicdesign to step up their Support of Linux outside of #CentOS & #RHEL Workstation and at least on the #paid version get #FeatureParity to the #macOS & #Windows version in terms of #Codecs (or at least implement support for those not subject to #licensing like #AV1, #VP9 / #WebM & #Opus, #Vorbis & #Speex.
