Qflix is an industry-backed standard
and comprehensive licensing and
certification program that, for the
first time, allows original movies to
be legally purchased by downloading
through the Internet and burned onto
DVD or directly duplicated by in-store
retail systems, providing movie studios
and distributors with an efficient new
channel for the electronic distribution
of digital video entertainment to
consumers.
Simply, Qflix is a system of special
media, DVD recordable drives and
software that enables the recording of
premium content to DVD-recordable
discs with the same level of copy
protection found on today’s in-store
DVDs. Being both secure and
compatible with the billion DVD players
deployed worldwide, Qflix opens up
a whole new way to digitally deploy
movies with the same quality and
level of interactivity as standard DVD
discs, but with virtually no inventory
management costs. The Qflix licensing
program was established by Pioneer
and Sonic to facilitate the adoption of
secure download and burn applications
in accordance with the approved
industry specifications for recording
downloads set by the DVD Forum and
the DVD Copy Control Association.
