AFAIK, as of today There is no consumer HD DVD burner available in the market. I hope HD DVD can take off and slap Sony in the face. However, having no burner available, Adobe goes with BluRay. I then will have to go with BluRay.
HDCP is another issue. All the commercial Bluray movies will need to be played back with HDCP compliance components. The LG hybrid burner comes with PowerDVD suites that can playback HDCP BluRay movies. Nobody and Sony hasn't learned. They still continue to developed proprietary products since the infamous fall out of BetaMax vs VHS.

I was hoping there was an all-in one solution. I've done a bit more searching and it looks like the HiDef burner market is still just about in the same mess that DVD-ROM drives were circa 1997. In other words the bugs aren't all sorted out yet. Heck, Sony released a Blu-Ray drive last year that couldn't play Blu-Ray movies, unless you managed to find one without HDCP- but wait! You still couldn't play it on your PC because the only Windows Blu-Ray playing software available was only available bundled with a Vaio laptop with Blu-Ray drive. Why oh WHY can't this industry LEARN ANYTHING FROM PAST FOULUPS?! Huge egg on its face when the 1st gen DVD-ROM drives couldn't read CD-R/RW, and they've screwed up worse with HiDef formats. How's that quote go? "Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it." __________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
