    Kaleidescape legal update

    Not sure about imerge specifically, but I think most have gone the "BYO DeCSS" route. By doing so, all potential claims shift to the user. Jeff

    3TB Drives are Here

    I was way wrong on this one. Nice to see them earlier than expected. :) Jeff

    Hitachi started shipping 4TB hard drives on December 12th!

    My money says CEDIA 2012 - for 3TB drives... Jeff

    KO Forum, a little retrospective

    Josh, Thanks for doing all you have done to create and maintain the site these last 5 years. Given all the negative commentary on sites like AVS, even in the $20K section, it made a ton of sense for K owners and aspirers to have their own place to talk more in depth about the system. I have...

    New product announcement coming soon

    According to a CEPro article: [I]"Kaleidescape is finally introducing new and exciting gear after a bit of a dry spell ... if you believe the PR folks, who tell us this: Kaleidescape will unveil major new products that will ship later this year, adding to its line of high-end movie players and...

    iPad Remotescape?

    I'm looking at this from a different angle. First, Apple commonly releases tech stuff like this about a product right at launch or, in this case, even before launch. I don't think it's any indication of a problem, just a statement of what their policy is - in part because they know customers...

    iPad Remotescape?

    I haven't seen anything to indicate that K will come up with an app of their own. Given the fact that Remotescape has already created theirs and worked with K to do it, it would be redundant unless K thought they could do it better. I'd rather have an outside entity be working on it though as...

    NEWS: RealNetworks & Kaleidescape

    If you're dying to hear from K on the RN ruling, this story just went up over on Electronic House: http://www.electronichouse.com/article/kaleidescape_ceo_on_realdvd_ruling/#When:17:59:48Z "In an email to EH, Kaleidescape CEO Michael Malcom provided a quick response to the RealDVD ruling: We...

    NEWS: RealNetworks & Kaleidescape

    AFAIK, K's movie metadata is their own - not licensed from anyone else. So, a business decision by RN to discontinue that offering doesn't have anything to do with K. And yet they were first sued by the DVDCCA in December of 2004. That's 5 years ago. That hasn't stopped their progress in...

    So managed copy at the end of March, any insiders hear rumors on K implementing it for CEDIA?

    Never. This would require a modification of the DVD spec to include MC technical provisions (serial numbers encoded on each disc, etc). As such, you'd have to get the studios to agree and given how long they have dragged their feet on MC for BR, I have no reason to believe that they would ever...

    So managed copy at the end of March, any insiders hear rumors on K implementing it for CEDIA?

    I thought about that - having a different SKU. The question is will a new SKU alone trigger a separate listing by an online vendor? IOW, in the absence of a change to other features, would they actually consider the newer title to be different? My gut tells me that they won't, especially...

    So managed copy at the end of March, any insiders hear rumors on K implementing it for CEDIA?

    And US PSPGo owners who have PSP UMDs are still waiting for any kind of disk swap or download credit, but there seems to be nothing on the horizon. Certainly, these 2 issues are not exactly equivalent, but I wouldn't be surprised to see nothing at all offered by the studios. Even worse will be...

    Anyone else hook a player up to a Slingbox (or other placeshifter)?

    I also have a SlingCatcher for a TV in a room that wouldn't be worth buying a whole separate KPlayer for. There's some lag in the device commands, but it's definitely usable and works quite well for when my son wants to watch in that room. Jeff

    Managed Copy Demo Video from CEDIA - note: not Kaleidescape

    No problem at all. By the way, I sent a Tweet to Ben Drawbaugh from Engadget HD asking about the comments made by the Pioneer rep in the video. His response: "Actually the AACS-LA told me it was up to the studio, so I assume he meant that is what Disney told him." Now, since the Pioneer guy...

    Managed Copy Demo Video from CEDIA - note: not Kaleidescape

    But by that logic shouldn't we expect transfers of extras from the disc rather than via download? The bottleneck is broadband, not from your optical drive straight to an HDD. It seems completely backwards that we'd start to see extras on downloads and not from BR via MMC. Why cripple BR's...
