Want DVD? Forget FireWire.Friday, 26 May, 2000 @ 09 pmMay 26 Fri (09 AM) I found this in an link from Slashdot <http://www.newscientist.com/news/news_224031.html:> Garrett admits that his technology has been made possible by loopholes in Hollywood's contracts with DVD makers. "All the manufacturers of DVD players have signed an agreement not to provide a Firewire digital output. But there is no mention of SDI," he says. Firewire feeds high-quality video into computers. What the hell? DVD was supposed to be the great path to high quality personal video in the home. But there's a clause that specifically forbids FireWire from being part of the equation? That's just crazy. Profit at the expense of Progress. I hate it when stuff like this happens.
