Legal hurdles for DVD burn-on-demand expected to lower
August 9, 2006
San FranciscoGate: A film-industry group is set to remove some of the procedural hurdles that prevented the legal recording of movies onto blank DVDs — a further sign that Hollywood studios are preparing to expand what consumers can do with downloadable movies.
Under rule changes soon expected to be finalized by the DVD Copy Control Association, retailers could create movie jukebox kiosks, with which customers can select, say, an obscure title and burn it to a DVD on the spot.
"It'll open the floodgates for a lot more premium content to be burned onto DVD," said Jim Taylor, a general manager at digital-video-software company Sonic Solutions.
