So last week I ordered from Amazon a TV show that I have been waiting on to come to video for quite sometime yet for some reason it wasn't at Wallyworld. So after getting it last Friday I look at the back and notice this warning.

Quote:THESE DICS ARE EXPECTED TO PLAY BACK IN DVD VIDEO "PLAY ONLY" DEVICES, AND MAY NOT PLAY BACK IN OTHER DVD DEVICES, INCLUDING RECORDERS AND PC DRIVES.

Now although I have a DVD player I don't have a TV so I kind of freaked out after all I didn't want to have paid $35 for this and not have it work in my drive which is for now my only way to watch DVDs. Also noticeable different is that instead of having the DVD Video symbol it has DVD Download. In addition the discs are blue on the bottom which I haven't seen on manufactured discs and trust me, this isn't a pirated copy. I didn't buy it from a seller but from Amazon so I don't know what to make of that.

Fortunately it works but I'm left wondering what this is. Anybody heard of it? Something else thats strange is the timing. It said that the episode is 46 minutes long which would be about right for an hour long episode without commercials however I think that the episode is double length since it is the pilot. Regardless of how long it is at the end of the episode the time said 5:15 completed. So something is different about this. Again I ask if anyone has any ideas? I tried google and wikipedia and got nowhere. I'm thinking based on the warning that it is some kind of new attempt at copyright protection but I don't know.

If it helps I was using Media Center. Also the drive's specs don't say anything about being certified for DVD Download.

So I take it that no one knows anything about it?

The time completed was off because media center reset that at the end of each chapter which is something nero showtime doesn't do. I guess that really don't have anything to complain about since it works.

If it works, I'd say go with it. I hadn't heard of DVD download before this thread.
