A good friend of mine is a product manager at Pioneer Electronics and he has some diturbing news for me.
His latest Blu-ray player has no BD-R BDMV playback becasue they were forced to remove it.
In what looks like a new push by the studios, they are very unhappy about it (and so am I).
He also said that a new Panasonic model out shortly with HD audio will most likely also have the feature removed.
Guess which company is making this happen? SONY!!
I dont know if that means that they too will remove the feature from PS3 or what not. It would not surprise me to see them keep it all to themselves, hipocracy is not a word they understand.
The question is however, what of the royalties Roxio and Adobe have paid? I can see litigation down the track on this one.
