Los Angeles - The entertainment and technology firms developing the Advanced Access Content System (AACS), a technology designed to secure video on next-generation Blu-ray and HD DVD formats, announced on Wednesday the availability of the technology through interim licensing agreements. The release of the content protection specification has been long-awaited, as Blu-ray developer Sony, HD DVD developer Toshiba and their manufacturing partners prepare the first next-generation DVD players for release. Companies involved in the development of AACS include IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Matsushita, Sony, Toshiba, Disney and Warner Bros. The AACS licensing body said that the final license agreement for AACS is expected in the coming months.
