Playing HD DVD And BluRay Discs On Ubuntu
The documentation site for the popular Linux distro, Ubuntu, has put up instructions on how to play HD-DVD and Blu Ray discs on the GNU/Linux platform. The short how-to guide walks through the software and steps necessary to get the DRM-crippled discs working with open source software.
U.S. users should note that the process of playing HD DVD or BluRay discs with an open source player requires circumventing the DRM and is thus most likely illegal in this country as per the DMCA.
The Ubuntu site contains the following warning:
Patent and copyright laws operate differently depending on which country you are
in. Please obtain legal advice if you are unsure whether a particular patent or
restriction applies to a media format you wish to use in your country.
For those outside the U.S. and not bounded by draconian DRM laws (yet), the process doesn’t look quite as intimidating as I’d imagine. read more | Link | Trackback | 0 Comments
