		The Abyss (Special Edition based on the run time) will air on Ciné+ in France in about 2 weeks. Not announced as being HD, so most likely the same old uspcaled master in 2.35:1. This is a channel that protects their programs, so I can record them but cannot extract the recordings from my recording device known as Free Player associated with Freebox.

		Certain hdmi capture card/devices can 'forget' to enforce hdcp encryption. As can hdmi splitter boxes

		It's worrying that receiving an honest, faithful presentation of the film from official sources would be considered 'lucky'.
Wiser to not hold one's breath and consider all available sources, even if Cameron's approved Blu-ray does somehow surface soon (as far as I can make out, there's still no formal announcement?)
