Loosely Assembled

Due to the iPhone/iPod craze, many recently released DVDs have been including H.264/MPEG-4 versions of the content that can simply be dragged over into iTunes, eliminating the need for all kinds of special software to copy, convert and compress the original DVD video. The industry has exhibited a rare spark of intelligence in this matter, leveraging the new use case scenario to sell special ads targeted at gadget lovers (yes the H.264 version are wrapped in ads, but can be easily circumvented, even in iMovie). The industry is banking on the convenience and time saving feature of this new product line, realizing that most people won’t spend upwards of 2 hours editing and encoding movies just to avoid a few minutes of ads.

Go forth and watch movies :D
