Sonic's Qflix licensing process demonstrated
Qflix to pave the way for movies on the cheap as well as unlimited supply for retailers
Sonic, the parent company of Roxio, today announced what it calls a licensing program designed to legally allow users to download content from online providers, then burn the content onto DVD to watch on set-top players. The program, dubbed Qflix, provides Content Scramble System (CSS) protection for high-quality content.
The Qflix system requires support from both media manufacturers and drive manufacturers. Online digital content providers will also have to be Qflix-enabled as well as the software involved. When a user downloads a movie for example, the movie has a CSS tag which is recognized by both the client software as well as the drive. When burned, the movie will only be able to be played back on the PC it was downloaded on as well as a standard DVD player. Users will not be able to copy the burned DVD.... Much More...
