AACS format gives headhakes to burner manufacturers

In a previous news, we were reporting that the release of the first HD-DVD and Blu-Ray burners will be delay due to the current problems to finalized the AACS format.
All burner manufacturers need the definition of the AACS format in order to launch production and to finalize firmwares for their devices. So, as it is apparently impossible for the different players to find an agreement, a temporary AACS format has been created. In other words, only the most restrictive system has been defined for the current definition. So, when the first burners will appear in March/April, none of them will feature finalized AACS format; and it will probably be impossible to make a backup copy of any media.
It is definitely urgent to wait till final formats and offers are clearly defined.
