DataPlay's MPAA-friendly USB DVD Burner

Never thought there's a DVD burner that MPAA would endorse. The DataPlay today has debuted the world's first external burner that is capable of writing Content Scramble System (CSS) encrypted content for playback on standard DVD players. Basically, this allows us to download DRM-protected movies from service like MovieLink and burn it onto a DVD, but the catch is we'll need a special CSS-MR pre-keyed recordable disc available from Verbatim, and maybe others too if this ever takes off.

The USB 2.0 burner aptly named MovieWriter is just part of Qflix's bigger program whose company also issue component certifications for set-top boxes, software and burners that provide DVD-on-demand solutions. The CSS-MR media speed seems to have improved from the previous 2x to 8x write, and the MovieWriter is able to take advantage of that.
