Are you trying to state that you know the situation on BD-R better than an engineer from the primary founding company of the BD spec?
Then again, now that I think about it - maybe it does make sense that it is FUD coming from Sony.  |
Has paidgeek since responded to what the bd insider said? Could he have misunderstood and gotten it wrong? Why yes he has, after belligerant whining from the hd-dvd fanboy FUD generator (rdjam):

First of all, for those who have been waiting for my follow-up post on this topic, thanks for your patience...
After doing some research, here is what I have been able to clarify.
Blu-ray players first manufactured after Spring of this year are required to support BD-RE v3.0 media (AACS enabled) for playback of recordings where copyright has been asserted (e.g. digital broadcast, managed copy from a Blu-ray movie and similar).
These same players may playback authored content from other sources (e.g. home movies) where copyright is not asserted from either BD-RE V3.0 or v2.1 (currently available) media.
An exception was made for players produced before Spring this year such that they may playback authored BD movie content from BD-RE V2.1 media, even though they may not support V3.0 media. The PS3 is already fully compliant with the latest requirements. Other players may or may not be depending on current firmware revisions.
The simple summary is that a consumer can author their own content as they wish using currently available media and play it back on any player that was released prior to Spring 07' as well as any player released since that time, provided that the player can support BD-RE V3.0 media. If a newer player cannot yet support that media type, then BD-RE 2.1 support can be enabled as soon as firmware allows the player to do so.
The specifications are designed not to inconvenience any customer who wants to author content they own.

You can read on to see how Paidgeek and Talk have to respond to rdjam's further bd bashing without facts. Jeez, compared to rdjam, you are a breath of fresh air, Ruined.
