Look out BluRay + HD-DVD... here comes HD-VMD!

[shams]

Check this page out - talks about one option for VMD security - and it sounds truly "uncopyable"...

What is OPTIKEY® Anti-Counterfeit Technology?

OPTIKEY is a unique, random, analog, non-periodic sub-micron structure that is generated during a finite period of time. Once this key is generated, it cannot be replicated to the same level of fidelity as the original. Repeating the OPTIKEY generation process itself results in another unique master OPTIKEY is unique in that the very act of copying the analog phase mask results in a copy with a corresponding loss of fidelity. Such copies fail to authenticate when used in an OPTIKEY reader/correlator. OPTIKEY is authenticated using a reader/correlator which optically verifies by comparing the OPTIKEY phase mask on the item to a reference phase mask in the reader. No interpretation or extensive operator training is required.

So in other words - by copying the disc, you get a slightly different Optikey value. This can then be read, but it won't match the value used to encode the data on the disc.  

Either the printing press needs to be capable of re-encoding all the data for every different burn - or it has to be capable of producing an exact Optikey value/copy.

Interesting...
