Laziness.

Tech question: Has anyone watched a DVD that deletes the content after a viewing? How is that done? I don't want to save any content, I just wonder how it is done. It's like one of those letters Inspector Gadget gets without the explosion.

They make those? Why?!? Is it for theaters or something?

I've never even heard of those, but i'm gonna take a guess and assume that the reflective layer is designed in such a way that it quickly degrades after being read by a laser.

I saw some of those in a grocery store a few years back. It's supposed to be like a rental; the way it works is that once the package is opened and exposed to air, everything starts deteriorating and after about 48 hours the disc becomes unplayable.

If I get a screening via dvd in the mail after one viewing *poof* data is gone. It's been that way for years, but I truly believe the leaking of X-MEN ORIGINS THAT STORY ABOUT WOLVERINE AND SABRETOOTH AND GAMBIT AND THE BLOB AND DEADPOOL AND OTHER FORGETTABLE CHARACTERS really upped the ante on privacy issues.

After viewing, it is like the Joker's pencil..."It's gone".

What's stopping someone from using their one viewing to just make a copy of the disc?

Yeah, just pop it in your computer copy it, then watch it. I guess that's how my brothers friends has movies before they come out. How do you get pre screenings?!?

No, that is not the way it works.

Air?

It's got to be something with the laser light. The discs aren't time sensitive, they are "play sensitive". One and done. As I stated I don't want to copy any discs (although I tried once and all it did was leave me with two discs with zero data), but I do want to figure out how the process works.
