It's a potential reason why some consumers might skip the next gen of disc spinners altogether and wait until absolutely everything can be played via a server....DVD-A included.

I'm pretty much there now - As I'm trying to get to one spinner max.

I wonder if they will deem it illegal to rip a DVD-A disk, even when you can't play it with anything!!
I can hear it now - I'm sorry, it's still illegal to re-format a dead format... unless you're dead yourself...
