Scarecrow Man Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I wonder why there is so much trouble with backing up DVD's. Soon Blu-ray and HDDVD will be the standard anyways.http://www.disctronics.co.uk/technology/hddvd/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Are these new technologies needed and will they be accepted by the producers of commercial DVDs? Are they a technology too far?Already we have DVD media that the producers have difficulty filling to their capacity so, why actively develop a system that has almost 3 times as much data storage space?What are we going to get, in addition to "director's cuts", interviews with the protagonists, alternative endings etc. to fill the extra available space that this technology brings?Or am I being a Luddite?

Scarecrow Man Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 HDDVD - High Definition Digital Video Disc.You're not getting any more content (well you may), but it is being developed for High Definition. The dvd's will have a lot more storage, and certain decoders will be able to use it to it's full capacity with high definition and extra features.Todays DVD players, computer and home, will not work with the new technology. It will have to be a large change like BETA to VHS or VHS to DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 HDTV = VHC (Very High Cost)The demonstrations I've seen of HDTV were, to be frank, not very good and certainly not worth expending anything over and above the price of a conventional 625 line PAL system set. Of course, in the USA (and Canada?) the system is 525 lines NTSC which is intrinsically lower definition if, for nothing more than the lower resolution. (Is it true that NTSC stands for Never Twice the Same Colour?)In addition to the technical aspects, there will have to be a profound change in the broadcast systems. OK, this is happening with digital and cable systems but the cost of changing equipment over to cope with all of this will be vast. In the UK, no more digital broadcast capacity is being added to any of the television networks until the shut off of analogue systems. What this will mean in fact, if carried through, that a huge number of people in the UK will be stuck with either an inferior setup or none at all.

Scarecrow Man Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Yes Canada uses NTSC. I am not sure what it stands for, but it is what we use. HDDVD boasts to have "180 more lines than regular DVD" which brings it up to a whopping 705 NTSC and 805 PAL........ ? What's the big deal? I'm not sure, but apparently a lot.You have to remember this "Blu-ray" craze will die down about 6 months after it's official release, making the equipment and disc's almost affordable.Technology is a strange thing, people will pay what the distributor sees fit. I remember when a 200MB Hard Drive was over $1000.. and Now the smallest I can find is a 40GB for $80... ?Either way, this new technology is going to break the bank for those on the edge consumers, but those of us who wait will see the benifits with a much lower cost.
