Hi all. About 3 weeks ago I had a report cross my desk that said that consumers are renting DVDs from places like Blockbuster and Netflix, taking them home and watching them on DVDRoms, and then their comps crash because of a virus. Apparently there had been cases of people encoding a virus on a line of information on some DVDs and this virus will destroy a harddrive. Now, I've been researching this with my tech department and we've been unable to find any way that a comp virus could be encoded onto a DVD because the two systems use different types of info encoding, among other reasons...but this doesn't mean that it hasn't happened. It's possible that someone found a way that I've yet to know about. I'm wondering if anyone has come across anything if they rent DVDs. Also, does anyone know of a technical aspect that could make this encoding possible that I'm overlooking. I've pretty much exhausted my resources, but I still have a few digital manufacturers that haven't responded to my inquiries from work. Any ideas folks? Thanks.
