    I have just seen Amazon Instant Video HD.

    The charge is $13.99 for "Buy HD". It is under Amazon Instant video. What do I get for $13.99

    Is it possible to burn this streamed video onto a Blu-Ray? I want to play this Blu-ray disk - just like a normal Blu-ray disk.


    Thanx
    andy

    The right to play the video on supported players. That right can be take away any time they feel like it (read the small print in their T&Cs):

    Yes, but not legally.

    It's possible: You need to have a player that is supported and has HDMI output, an HDCP stripper to remove encryption, then a video recording device that accepts HDMI input -- like an Hauppague HD PVR 2, and finally the software and hardware to burn a Blu-ray disc. But this is violation of the license.

    It's not only possible but, given the right hardware as jagabo mentions, fairly easy.

    Transcoded shit stream.

    I prefer to buy BD/DVD for my collection for $19.99 or less from local authentic-wholesaler, rather than paying for transcoded shit and wasting bandwidth and time in downloading.

    If you liked the movie and think it's worth $13.99, buy it.

    As for illegally copying stream and burning to disk. After your h/w expense + time and effort, is it really worth it for sub-standard quality? Not to me.
    Got my retirement plans all set. Looks like I only have to work another 5 years after I die........

    I think it is clearly a waste of time.

    I appreciate your honesty.

    Thank you very much
