Talk:Self-Protecting Digital Content

What exactly is "Self-Protecting Digital Content"?
I'm a bit fuzzy about what this article is really about. Is "Self-Protecting Digital Content" the report produced by the CRI Content Security Research Initiative? Or does it refer to the system they describe in the paper, which later 'inspired' the HD DVD and Blu-Ray DRM standards? Also, AACS doesn't provide any means to "execute code from the encrypted content on the DVD player". The BD+ virtual machine on Blu-ray players does. — Ksero 00:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning up article
I just removed this:
 * "Modern HD televisions are merely 2 megapixels in resolution and the HD specification will be static for at least two decades, as high-expense consumer product cycles are necessarily long and higher resolution provides decreasing benefit to the consumer. By the time the specification is mid-life, cameras with 20 megapixel resolution will be available and able to record full-motion video, allowing for full two-axis oversampling and software reconstruction of the original stream pixel-by-pixel, with the only analog losses being encoded as slight variations in pixel color--and even this loss can be compensated for with color profile adjustment after the re-encode has completed. It would not be possible to compensate for possible compression of the color space dynamic, however, leading to a slight posterizing effect. This effect is already apparent in compressed video and does not seem to bother most consumers."

There are some interesting concepts presented, however:
 * This section is wholly unsourced (like most of the rest of the article)
 * We are no longer in the HD era, so this section is woefully out of date. Modern TVs are much more than 2 megapixels.
 * The claim that consumer cameras pointed at a TV can recover accurate video data with advanced post-processing is very interesting if true. I'm trying not to remove content for which I could find a source, however this is a bold claim and needs to be sourced

I'd love any help on this article. —danhash (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
