I'm not too sure if you could "burn" DVDs (either DVD-Rs or DVD-RAMs) to be read by any DVD Player. Of course you could probably write a decrypted movie onto a DVD, so that anyone with a DVD-ROM drive and appropriate DVD player software (capable of playing single files) would be able to watch it, but it won't play in the common under-your-TV player, would it? The real threat to the movie companies, IMHO, is that people would virtually duplicate movies (with boxes, booklets etc.) and resell them. And as long as you can't easily make copies that won't play on _any_ DVD player, nobody will. The occasional computer enthusiast who copies a movie for another friend does not really threaten the revenues of the movie companies. And I don't think that DVD-RAM media are readable by the common DVD-ROM drive anyway... -- There is no spoon...
