Care to explain why it's nonsense?
I don't know why they'd do that, but that's the way it reads. I would assume that when recording video to a blu-ray disc, it gets recorded in the same format as a commercially available Blu-ray movie, minus the encryption. If the players aren't going to play anything without AACS, then the story is accurate. It would be akin to DVD players not playing anything that doesn't have a CSS key. We all know that isn't possible, since DVD burners, at least the consumer ones, can't even record a CSS key. That doesn't mean the video format for CSS protected DVDs is any different from non CSS protected DVDs. The formats are exactly the same, the only difference is the lack of a key.
So is it true or not? Will future Blu-ray players refuse to play movies that aren't encrypted with AACS?
