make sure your dvd player does accept dvd– format.

EVERY SINGLE SHIT THAT INVOLVES ENCRYP/CODES/KEYS/SOURCES ECT… ECT.. WILL FUC’NG BE CRACKED!1M 2MONTHS WHO CARES, THEY WILL BE!

PLUS++++ CHINA OR JAPAN MAFIA WILL FUC’NG GET A GOOD DEAL WITH SONY AND MORE, MANAGERS (CAUSE HE IS PROBABLY A POOR ASS AND WILL ACCEPT ANY DEAL, EVEN IF IT INVOLVES SEELING HIS DAUTHER) AND BLUE-RAY WILL COME TO THE MARKET AT A PRICE OF $10 SO CHILL PEOPLE, NO WORRIES, JUST KEEP DOWNLOADING!!!

ONE MORE SHIT! I RIP NORMAL DVD’S FILTER THEM INTO BRIGHTNESS, RESOLUTION, AND SIZE (U NAME IT) AND THEN FUCKING BURN IT TO AN HD-DVD FORMAT WITH NERO!
-IT COMES OUT SO NICE, OHH BEAUTIFUL :O

PLUS++ THERE IS SOFTWARES OUT THAT LETS YOU HAVE HD FILTERS MEANING YOU CAN CONERT A DVD TO A HD-DVD.

PEACE AND I DONT GIVE A SHIT!!

I also think $1 per movie is fair.

Movie Collectors would likely pay thousands more dollars collecting all the stuff they ever wanted. Anyway, thats one view, as naive as may be.[/quote]

iwe done my reaserch, and the facts right now are:

-HDVD has superior quality
-HDDVD is cheaper in every way, has allways been, not gonna change
-Blu-ray has more capasity as storage, but when it comes to movies, a 60gb movie is still inferier qulaity compared to 20gb HDVD, that says something (Blu-ray is using bad codec, dont know why…)
-Blu-ray has more backup from companys (so fucking what, when everyone realises HDDVD is better the support WILL change) will be better for storage on computers i guess

Yes, you fucking sony fagfanboys, Blu-ray will be better than HDVD in 4-7years when they develop their hardware, and will be better than HDVD when that time comes, but SUPRIES SUPRISE in 5years it will be old shit, by then the NEXT GENERATION disc has arrived, i personally would wait for that allready but yes, there will be a so called HVD (Holographic Versatile Disc) with storage capacity to 3.9 Tera bytes… support that instead. i smell quality!

PS3 plays old dvd’s and upconverts.

Anyway, long thread, wow… some angst, some sympahty… all over the charts.

Ok, all the bs about porn… haha, how pathetic, people who watch porn are after Hi-Def? I thought it was about rubbin one out… jesus most guys only need a minute or two, semi-decent rez does the trick.

Anyway, about Disney only doing one, whatever, it’s Disney flix, and Blu-ray is better technology.

As for Paramount/Universal, they’ve always been behind Disney in every aspect. Their children’s movies suck, their themeparks are lame (minus a few rollercoasters). Their stock doesn’t even do as well. Keep in mind Disney isn’t even one company, it’s 7 (I can’t remember, the mall stores split a few years ago).

Downloads are lame unless they’re uncompressed… and for the person who said downloads will never stop? I wish that were true but if the USA keeps moving toward socialism and facist control… well, in Myanmar (sp) they shut down output of the net to control the masses… it’s not hard for them to one day just tell the companies to turn it all off…

For the apple iPhone (bad example, but cell phones in general) they do serve a purpose for those who need them, ie. not the 16 yr old blonde brat driving down the highway, but perhaps the businessman/woman, contractor etc etc etc etc.

My expectation, at least for the next so many years before this whole conversation is mute because BOTH formats are out-done by the next format of 10000p or whatever (ala OLED, laser tv’s on the way – who knows what they’ll be capable of… monitors already are beyond 1080p) is that both of these formats will stay in place…

The video game industries alone won’t allow the PS3 to become obsolete, nor will Microsofts billions of dollars allow the Xbox to go away… so both systems stay. Some companies will never get off their stupid asses and allow the consumer to be right… ie. I have a blu-ray player and want to watch Transformers… it’s just lame… but in the long run none of this will matter.

Thanks for the original poster, in that this thread is lasting almost 3/4 of a year and still interests people.

….clap,clap…clap…

Can you play your old dvd’s on Blue Ray? NO

Can you play your old DVD’s on HDDvD? Yes

Go figure which one will win!

Many people go on about how Sony is evil.. haha! it makes me laugh, I have a friend that worked with Sony on their publicity recently.. he said that Sony si represented like any high profile celeb, just get people to talka bout it, and no matter what they say, good or bad, people will notice and buy, cos that’s how people are, once you start talking about it, curiosity sets in, even if you have heard bad things, you still want to understand.

With all said.. money is an issue, most people can’t afford to pay for DVDs, but most of us already have good computers and internet connections for work.. is it that hard to put together?
it’s convinient, it’s cheap and it’s hassle free ~ no worry of stolen money from bank accounts, no worry of shitty DVD quality, and freedom download whatever you please where ever you please..
if someone can come up with something better than that for the film industry.. then im sure everyone will take a second look.. till then ~
downloading will never stop!

USD 34 vs. USD 0.50
I think its clear….

Works great.
Finally getting some good use out of that HDMI out on that game console in the movie department now too. Sweet deals.

Download size isnt much bigger then a normal dvd download for alot of the BluRay movies, about 4gigs ranging up to 9, after all the extras are cut out. And if you want the extras, you can always find that too.

Happy internet raping.
