Sigh, so not useful for archival of purchased video at all.

- contingencies 8y agoAlso, it's a 10 year old DRM system at this point. Anything encoded for on-demand distribution across networks 10 years ago was probably done at poor qualities in general. Source: Used to work in the industry.
- wmf 8y agoWidevine isn't used in Chrome today for services such as Prime Video?
- dnautics 8y agoIt is.
- iofiiiiiiiii 8y agoNo. There are two entirely different DRM systems named Widevine. Up to version 6.0 was old legacy DRM from way back. Widevine 7.0 is the current version, published only a few years back, also called Widevine Modular. This is a modern cutting-edge DRM equivalent to Microsoft PlayReady and Apple FairPlay. Together, these 3 make up the big DRMs in the industry.
- contingencies 8y agoOh OK, stopped following DRM after that job! :) Fun tidbit: We did the first commercial deployment globally of PlayReady for Samsung's galaxy devices US launch. MS paid Samsung to use it.
- skybrian 8y agoI don't see why not? 720p is higher than DVD quality and plenty good enough for entertainment purposes. Kids these days...
