Would someone please explain to me how all these elaborate copy protection schemes are going to protect from someone taking the analog output and copying to another media? I have yet to find an effective means of analog copy protection. Is it the fact that these media are digial and they believe a siginifacant amount of noise will be induced into the signal that will make the analog video unusable during the A/D conversion. I think not.

Or is it that they believe that the average Joe will not go through elaborate and admittedly expensive means to circumvent encryption?
Even the line by line method of scrambling can be overcome by (borrowing) the logrithm.(Time consuming and not worth the effort).

Digital scrambling/encryption is a different story for D/D copying.

Anyway, I am amused by all this attention to encryption methods.

Later,
