If you've been waiting to buy a Blu-ray Disc writer, now may be the time. CompUSA currently has the Lite-On LH-2B1S on sale for only $299.98. This is $150 off their normal price and a good $130 cheaper than any of the retailers listed on Pricegrabber. Don't delay because at this price these drives won't last long. Add a comment

Earlier this year, we reported that the DVD CCA had lost their court case against Kaleidescape. According to PC World, the group has responded by proposing a new amendment to the CSS licensing agreement. If approved, the amendment would make all DVD backups illegal.

The amendment is currently being considered by the Content Protection Advisory Council (CPAC) of the DVD CCA. If enacted, it would become binding in 18 months from the date on which the CCA notified its licensees, which include DVD hardware and software manufacturers.

The terms of the amendment, formally referred to as the "Unknown Specification Amendment," are just a paragraph long, and would basically eliminate DVD copying of any form, whether for the purposes of fair use or not.

The amendment reads:

"6.4. Certain Requirements for DVD Products. DVD Products, alone or in combination with other DVD Products, shall not be designed to descramble scrambled CSS Data when the DVD Disc containing such CSS Data and associated CSS Keys is not physically present in the DVD Player or DVD Drive (as applicable), and a DVD Product shall not be designed to make or direct the making of a persistent copy of CSS Data that has been descrambled from such DVD Disc by such DVD Product."

The DVD CCA needs to realize that CSS is worthless as a form of DRM. Amendments like this will do little to prevent consumers from making backups and will only put companies like Kaleidescape out of business. Then again, that might be the whole point of this amendment. If you'd like to read more, the entire article can be found here. Add a comment

Today, CDRLabs brings you an in depth look at LG's latest "Super-Multi" drive, the GSA-H55L. This highly anticipated drive features some of the fastest reading and writing speeds available. The GSA-H55L is capable of 20x DVD±R, 10x DVD±R DL, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW and 12x DVD-RAM writing speeds and has a maximum DVD read speed of 16x. LG's new drive also offers a number of features, including support for technologies like LightScribe and SecurDisc.

In this review we'll take a look at some of the features found on the GSA-H55L and see how it compares to some of the 18x and 20x DVD±RW drives from the competition. Does LG's new "Super-Multi" drive have what it takes? Is it the fastest DVD writer around? You'll have to read the review to find out.
