Talk:Content Protection for Recordable Media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a Toshiba HDTV. I recently purchased a Toshiba progresive scan DVD player. My son played a dvd on our system and the tv shut down. I think he had a boot copy of some movie. Can the DVD player send a code to the TV and shut it down? I can nolonger get my tv to come on.

That kind of vandalism wouldn't be practical for several reasons. I think something is wrong with your TV.

Anyway..

"Only special CPRM-enabled media formats, which do not yet seem to have achieved market visibility, will impose copying restrictions."

According to its manual, the Panasonic DMR-ES20 DVD video recorder requires a CPRM compatible disk (DVD-RAM) to record digital broadcasts that impose a "one time only recording" fair use restriction. If this is similar to other DVD recorders then it would seem like CPRM-enabled media formats have achieved market visibility. -DWM

This is true of the Panasonic DMR-ES35V too. I wound up on this page after looking it up when I noticed it in the manual. ~IMP
