[ydl-gen] HD-DVD on YDL

[Michael Torres]

The only thing worth mentioning here is that when
using the PS3 OS, and you insert the disc. It is read
as a data disc with no video. But, apparently in the
YDL OS, you are able to play the and rip the video
from the very popular Pirates "HD-DVD" disc. So, at
least from the PS3 operating system is concerned, you
can't recreate the activity of playback.



Sorry about that. I thought you meant one of the two
Disney movies
with the same name. Either way though, the same
principle applies. You
can't refer to it as an HD-DVD since the optical drive
inside of the
PS3 isn't capable of reading that media format. It is
a rival format
and it isn't possible. Just because the movie is in
hi-def doesn't
make it an HD-DVD (there are a ton of other optical
media that can
store hi-def content, including regular DVDs).

You probably have a home-made or small production DVD
with a movie
encoded in WMV in 720p. You should be able to recreate
your activity
on any computer with any operating system.
