1. Comment - HD DVD: Blu-ray Has Problems

   (Jan 17, 2006 - 10:47 AM)

   It's allmost all BS and marketing hype...
   
   You have to get new players, you have to buy the movies again etc etc... B.S.
   What I think would be enough is to include MPEG4 AVS or VC1 in DVD specs and with the more efficient codec you could fit HD material right on the standard DVD (DL), which would allow for
   evolutionary s*** to HD... We need evolution not revolution since most households do not even have HD TVs, not to mention the specific TVs with 1080p format...
   (By the way, my Philips DVD player already plays MPEG/DVIX encoded movies although in SD...)
   
   This is not to say that I do not welcome the new media: after watching TV in 1080i for about a year DVDs are real eyesores... However, given the circumstances I would side with HD-DVD as it seems to be the less costly, evolutionary option at this point...
   
   Oh, and let's make sure all the drives are software upgradable in case there is a update to the codec... Let's learn our lesson.
