Theatertek ed il supporto all'HD: ecco come stanno le cose

[DMD]

Certo che le affermazioni su Windows 7 che non fa bene al neonato Vista, penso che facciano riflettere anche Andrew.

Intanto attendo con ansia l'SP3 del mitico XP.

Quindi uscirebbe un'aggiornamento che permetterebbe di usare l'EVR con XP?

Ho dato un'acchiota sul sito di TT ma non ho capito se è gia disponibile

Qualche nota di Andrew dei giorni scorsi che mi era sfuggita:

With DVD, the market to allow sub-licensing was possible. We did this with Ravisent which became Sonic, then with nVidia when they created a DVD component set. These large organizations plunked down the $1m entry fee for CSS and audio licensing.

With the copy protection so easily removed with DVD, the powers at be created an entirely different licensing and restriction policy for the new formats. This has effectively made sub-licensing significantly more difficult, requiring the very substantial financial and development resources to play in this new market. The componentization of the codecs has been removed (DirectShow for example is 'unsafe' for BluRay playback) and a secure data path throughout the rendering pipeline is required. This effectively means that assembling codecs together as we did in DirectShow using tools such as GraphEdit is not possible for BluRay.

Maybe this situation will change over time, but for now, the entry fee is just too high, even with the very generous offers of our OEM's.

As for future versions of TT, there will continue to be updates. There is a 2.7 release that has been held up to make a few changes, but it will be out in the near future. The releases have not been as frequent as they have in the past for several reasons, most notably because the product is very stable. The 'what do you want thread' has essentially also been just a discussion point for BluRay support implying that beyond this capability, the general concensus is that the current release through its integration with other products such as MyMovies, CQC or Cinemar meets the needs of current and ongoing customers. That is not to say that all ideas come from this forum, but ultimately we respond to customer needs and/or demand when we can.

I hope this clears up any ambiguity on this topic, and until a realistic opportunity arises to support BluRay, TT will remain a DVD and other media-focused player. Again, I welcome any and all suggestions for improvements or features for the product. It has been built from the ground up over several years by responding to the needs and desires of customers such as yourselves.

Aspettare la 2.7?!?

A questo punto avrebbe poco senso giocare su due differenti software quando quello nuovo - il blu-ray compatibly - svolge il lavoro di quello vecchio - il TT.

Mi sa che è proprio la volta buona che mi decida a guardare in giro

Detta così sembra che debba andare a morire...

Penso che seguirò le tue evoluzioni con ArcSoft
