[quote name='dallow']Man, can you imagine backing up your stuff on a couple of 50GB discs?[/QUOTE]

At $700 a burner and $20 a disc.

No.

It would just be way cheaper to buy 2 500GB external hard drives, make 2 mirrors and call it a day.

And since they neutered BR-R, there is no way to back up your movies unless you strip the menus and everything besides the actual movie and forget about actually authoring a menu for your home movies.

Who cares if they can't author BR-R discs and use them on their new 1.1 players. They get to watch Ratatootoie which apparently will be ending the format war for good my making parents pay $500 for a player!
 
[quote name='dallow']In fact, I really don't know why people support HD DVD at all.[/quote]

Because I'd rather pay $230 than $500 for a standalone player.

Because several Universal movies are on my favorites list.

Because of 300's full length PiP pre-post production special feature.

Because Blu-ray/PS3/Sony fanboys are so annoying and fanatical, that I actively behave counter to their recommendations.

It will be a long time before they because a better value than hard drives even with BR burner prices going down.

The price per GB is dropping at an insane rate and it won't be long until 1TB is the standard.

:lol: Really? I know there are reasons to prefer HD DVD (I wouldn't mind Chinatown or Big Lebowski), but isn't this, frankly, a bit absurd? "I don't like what you like, but I'm going to let what you like affect my purchasing decisions." How pedantic.

Why not let what you like guide your decisions? Perhaps that is too much to ask these days?
 
Am I missing something, or do Blu-Ray discs not have the option for bookmarking? Admittedly, I've only watched 5 movies on the format, but all of them didn't seem to have the option.

And what's with the separate button for the pop-up menu? Seems more intuitive to use the directional keys, but perhaps there's a logical reason for this with interactivity in discs in the future, etc.
 
Polly, you might enjoy the enhanced 300 PiP coming soon on the new BD-J disc in the near future. It'll two HD streams instead of one. Make sure you pick up a player then, as it will more in tune with your budget.
I can't wait! (well, for another title, I don't care for 300)

As for neutered BD-R, movies on BD-Rs are still in their infancy. There's a looooong thread on it at AVS with people's attempts and trials.

I however, just want backups of my files. Tons of lossless concert footage, both audio and visual that I need to keep safe.
And one backup on a harddisk concerns me.



Not to mention the option of simply burning extra discs for people as BD drives become the norm in the future.

Which they are. You think the war would be where it is today if the PS3 did not have Blu-Ray shoved in it? No way. HD DVD having 40% of the market is pretty damn good for not being included in a game console. I can imagine Christmas will be pretty good for HD DVD considering the recent 360 price drops and upcoming Holiday bundles. Now they just need to get the damn HD DVD add-on down to $150.

I know they are, but I was talking about Sporadic who seems to feel that a board of elites should be choosing our next format, instead of consumers.

And, while HD-DVD is doing 'pretty damn good for not being included in a game console', that is pretty irrelevant as far as the 'war' goes. We can continue to make excuses for each format, but I doubt studios/consumers are going to gravitate towards a format because it is doing well, when you take into consideration *insert excuses*

AndI definitely see HD-DVD doing well this holiday season. I imagine HDTVs will be the hot item this xmas (I'm sure we'll see plenty of them on sale for crazy prices), and people will want hi-def movies to go along with their new TVs. Should be an interesting xmas. Just wish combo players would leave us alone.
 
[quote name='dallow']What the heck? How boring! What's with the clapping?

He supports HD DVD because of the lower cost of the player.
As if the BD players aren't going to go down or something.
I keep hearing rumors that Sony's latest player will drop to 299, and it supports 1080P and DTS-MA.

Still, a lower cost player for right now is a dumb reason to support a losing medium.

In fact, I really don't know why people support HD DVD at all.
I can see why in the early days, when there were PQ issues, but that point is moot now.
Now BD has bigger space, and BD-RWs for our computers will get cheaper.

Man, can you imagine backing up your stuff on a couple of 50GB discs?[/QUOTE]

And you know that once Blu-ray players start going down to that price, Toshiba will be right there to drop it down to $199. A lower entry point is what consumers on the fence are waiting for. Why should they spend a couple of hundred dollars more just to watch Disney and Fox movies? That seems more absurd than to spend less to enjoy movies in HD.

How is it a losing medium? It's been gaining market share since the start of the year. It used to be 4:1, then 3:1, and now it's 2:1. That's hardly losing. While I'll admit that weekly sales show that Blu-ray has been selling more than HD DVD, how do we know that's not because of lack of consumer interest but actually due to retailer stock? Take the 300 release for example. People everywhere reported both versions selling out, whether it be HD DVD in one region or Blu-ray in another. If that was the case, how could Blu-ray still sell more? It can obviously sell more because there were more copies on the shelves to sell.

i was applauding his honesty, not because it was a rip-roaring exciting ride that leaves you on the edge of your seat. ;) and your assumption that BR players will become cheaper and thats why HD DVD will fail leaves out the fact that the holiday season is when this 'war' will really see its roots. right now BR may be outselling but it's pretty widely accepted that its a phenomenon linked to the PS3; a factor which is absolutely huge as a percentage now but in the end is pretty menial compared to stand alone player sales. the future is unpredicitable since a new invention can come along and influence production costs down the road. the longer both formats exist the more inevitable dual format players will become. the longer both formats exist the cheaper movies and players will get. if you really want more expensive players & movies & having to register everything but your social security number w/ sony every time you put a BD in your computer, by all means; continue supporting BD. but when the point comes where you dont even buy the movie but you buy a right to view it a couple times, dont say you never saw it coming.

You do have to buy one if you wish to partake in any movies created by Sony or Sony controlled studios. (You can bring up Weinstein or Universal but they aren't owned by Toshiba or have anything invested in the format they choose to exclusively support)

Which is where we are at now.

Sony isn't here to give you a choice, they are only here for the sweet, sweet money they would receive for creating/licensing/controlling the dominate format.

What we are seeing is Sony basically throwing a hissy-fit because they couldn't strongarm the DVD Forum into choosing their format. They tried, lord knows they tried; so much that Warner filed a complaint with the SEC back in 2002.

Sony thought they had the perfect plan. They own 3 major movie studios, thought they had the perfect Trojan horse for players with the PS3 (even though 40% of owners don't even know they have Blu-Ray players) and they were going to be damned if they were going to let the DVD Forum rain on their parade.

I'd rather see a company with no movie studios and the DVD Forum control a format than a company that owns a vast number of movie studios, who thinks they know what's best for everybody and has a checkered past with power.

If it was up to Sony, the consumers nor "a board of elites" would have any choice, only Sony would have any say.

I don't own a PS3 or any Blu-Ray movies Captain.

I've made my choice and I'll ride it out until combo players become very cheap because in my option no format is going to die, combos are just going to become the standard.
 
heh, I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the versus area already. It's amusing reading the back n forth over the two formats.
 
To the both of yous, obviously both types of players will drop even lower.
And HD DVD players will still be less than the average BD player at the end of the year.

I just hope consumers make the smart choice, and go with a BD player.
Be it a PS3, or other cheaper model.

Honestly the only advantage HD DVD has right now is price.
Shit I've been tempted just to watch some fine Universal movies, but I can wait.

And honestly, my biggest reason for liking BD other than the cooler cases.

50GB is better than 30GB.

And the computer uses for it with that much space.
I mean damn, I'm still getting HD movies, but the disc, in and of itself is better for more applications.
More space, simple as that. And i'm not talking about just for movies, we don't need to get into that again.

And it's not even necessary to have 50GBs unless you use uncompressed audio (why would you do that when there is TrueHD) or have some ungodly long movie (which is being negated by codecs becoming more advance)

Doesn't matter to me which they use for a movie. A single layer BD holds almost as much a dual layer HD DVD.

Yep. You can't buy marketing like this. Take a look at pollywhatever from earlier in the thread (perhaps just a page or so back); they state outright that their decision to buy HD DVD is based, in part, off of wanting to do the opposite of what "Sony fanboys" do. That kind of mindless brand allegiance is absurd unless it is bought. Since it is not bought...

Y'know, this is the kind of post that reinforces zew's claim of "unpaid soldiers." Rather than admitting that BR's 25GB single-layer storage capacity is remarkably better (since it is 166.67% larger than HD DVD with the same number of layers), you have to minimize the significance of what is a rather objective advantage of one format over another. On one side, you have people, like yourself, acting as if 67% more storage is irrelevant, and on the other, those who treat HD DVD's interactive capacity as if it isn't something you'd like to see on the BR side of things. Zew's right because damn near EVERY post in this thread is acted and reacted to on the basis of "how can this be made to look good for BR/HD," rather than "oh, hey, here's some news on BR/HD."

I prefer BR, and have stated my reasons for doing so. I try to post news that I read (take, for example, the blog post/interview w/ Universal's president), even if it makes HD DVD look better. Of course, since I get a lot of BR-related RSS feeds, my media consumption in this regard is rather slanted. I'm not ashamed to admit that.

It's a format war thread, retard. What do you expect?

All of my very serious/non war posts goes in the HD-DVD Software thread in the Xbox 360 section.[/quote]

Haha, just can't admit it.
Don't drop the HDD though, be careful with those.
They tend to break.

I've dropped my current external more times then I want to admit while carrying it around and they are a tank as long as they aren't on and spinning.

When I want to bounce off BR fans, I post in this thread. When I just want to discuss HD movies, I post in the HD-DVD Software thread or at AVS or at High-Def Digest or at Something Awful in the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray thread.[/QUOTE]

Normally I don't take offense to being called names online, but now that I know what dreadful fashion sense (and facial hair) you have, I take umbrage at that. It's like being told "you suck" by a Domino's delivery driver. Christ a'mighty.

My point wasn't that every post in this thread has to be meaningful and/or tactful/polite. Poor Gizmo wouldn't find a place in this thread were that the case. Nevertheless, don't act like you're above the fray (taking issue with Zew calling us "soldiers") when you *ARE* participating in this thread. Save your "too cool for school" attitude, because it isn't true.

:applause:

Congrats, let's see your photo Fabio.

I've never said I was a stud (even though long hair and a beard is bitchin') but how exactly is blue jeans and a grey t-shirt "dreadful fashion sense"? It certainly isn't a flame/dragon button up or a popped collar or cargo pants or a black shirt with a "clever" saying on the front.

Sage advice indeed.

I'm going after formats and their backers, not attacking people's looks or bringing reality into the picture.
