My understanding of the Spartan Fortress from the previous discussion is that
the protected discs will not play on a computer drive. Is this correct?
If so, that would be a problem for me, as so many clients these days expect to
be able to play discs on their computers & laptops. It is just assumed
nowadays. Many churches I know don't even HAVE a settop player in their
auditorium a/v equipment, but play all DVDs on the computer they use for the
Powerpoint in their services.
If I were using a protect scheme that wouldn't allow computer playback, I'd
have to explain that very carefully to all clients up front, which to many
clients would seem like I was excusing a fault of the disc ("Huh? You mean I
can't play it on a computer? Sheesh. Why not? I play everything else on my
computer.").
To not explain it beforehand would be letting myself in for some very angry
clients later, I'm afraid, and the resulting bad word of mouth as well.
Personally, I myself never watch DVDs on a computer unless I need to for some
specific reason. I prefer a settop player and comfy chair, lol. However, I
find that this is certainly not the case with most of my "Mom & Pop" everyday
clients. When I talk to them about DVD player compatibility issues, a very
high percentage of them reply, "Well, I'll probably be watching on my computer
anyway, so I'm not worried much about my player."
So, if the Fortress scheme disallows all computer playback, that would be my
concern.
The whole copy protection issue is frustrating for the small producer. :(
