"When we considered Blu-Ray, our strategy was simply to initially support HD-DVD and await further development in the marketplace. Already during the beta phase we got many inquiries about Blu-Ray so we decided to go ahead and also provide support for this as soon as possible. Blu-Ray employs the same AACS process as HD-DVD. An implementation was really just a matter of form. A beta version is planned for availability this quarter." Tom Xiang, Marketing Director of SlySoft, said.
