Bracke of DVDfile.com has written a more thoughtful piece on D-VHS (mentioned in the Slashdot article, Copy-Protected Digital VHS) based on his impressions of a press demonstration. Says Fox's VP of Marketing, Peter Staddon, 'If we thought it (D-VHS) was going to kill DVD, we wouldn't be doing it.' Peter has even put together a nice little factsheet on the format. Encryption may be absent on D-VHS tapes, but it looks like the practice of region coding may continue."

Thats the SECOND time! by Restil · 2002-02-03 13:05 · Score: 1, Offtopic

This is the second article today that I have seen the world "boondoggle" in. Is this the new media catchword of the week or something?

Do I need to start using it in everyday speech??
