While that is true the bigger reason you will not see HD and Blue Ray in the same box is that they were competing standards. Neither group of supporter tried nor desired cross licensing of the other's technology. They wanted to whoop the competitor technology. That finally happened with Blue-Ray winning the format wars.
Bet me.
That came out after Toshiba conceded the market. My statement still holds true. The Toshiba camp and the Sony camp were locked into a death struggle for the industry standard.
That isn't what he was talking about. Kenny was asking if you could just encode a high def movie on a regular DVD by using two dvds or having it double sided.
I have no idea what you mean. The movie is either encoded for regular DVD, Blu-Ray, or HD. The dual or multi-mode players are the ones that are able to see and decode the different formats on the disc.
That is good as it would appear that this time 'beta-max' won the technology war.
Exactly. You can't do it. as I said above. Kenny was just asking if it were possible to encode a movie with high def quality on a regular DVD disk by using multiple disks. I was saying that was not possible as the players and codecs aren't designed for it.
I can live without #1) Sony, #2) Comcast, and #3) the movie industry that insists my purchase has to self destruct 24 hours after I start watching so I have to buy again and again.
Geesh does that take me back!
To some extent, "mature content" has silently given rise to many things. It's hard to prove, but one could argue this for the 'net, cable, pic phones, and more.That post was when Sony was banning "mature content." When the pundits reminded them what cost them BetaMax, they backed off so fast .....
Actually to a fairly large extent, but it's a dirty little secret we don't talk about!

) anymore? 90%+ now is downloaded.
But, excluding how many of have our computers hooked up to their TV? Sure downloaded porn is good (I'd assume), but don't you think ppl want to see it on their 1080p 60" HDTV with Dolby 5.1 surround sound? This is why porn will be a part of the winning format. Ease of use and privacy (i.e. paper trail from cards and no worries about viruses).Yeah, but it's a whole different age, who gets their porn on video (or Super 8
Not out in the open but I can assure you the discussion has been had behind many a closed door and with potential customers and includes market studies withj the interest groups and users.Actually to a fairly large extent, but it's a dirty little secret we don't talk about!
ME! That would be me. I'm telling you the hot setup is and will be media stored on central storage to be enjoyed whenever, wherever in the home. I tried it with my HD TiVo and then decided with no source and with TiVo getting into bed with the movie companies, they didn't bring enough to the party. I will only keep the TiVo if I'm forced to TiVo/Comcast/CableCARD as my last, least objectionable resort, which might happen.
*cough* I don't where else you can get 1080p into the house short of Blu-Ray and even the more compressed stuff looks pretty good. The audio is 7.1 Dolby, sir.
