Hello All ,
Here we go . Two differant hardware types to prevent users from
making private backups of items that they have purchased . I hope
that somewhere in the community there is a methodology to
circumvent this stupidity .
Below is a snippet from the URL below this :
Why are there two formats? The key reason for the introduction of
DVD-R for General media is that it contains content protection
measures that make it physically impossible to make a bit-for-bit
copies of CSS encrypted entertainment titles.

Thought I'd point out that this is old news. Very old in fact.
This was set when the DVD-R standard was put in place ...
Or actually, shortly thereafter.
At first there was only one standard, DVD-R. Now there are two at
different wavelengths, DVD For General (cannot copy css encrypted
things) and DVD-R For Authoring which can but those discs cost a lot
more. DVD-R was renamed DVD-R For Authoring.
