To most non-tech people a DVD = Movie on a disc just like a CD = Music on a disc. Attempts of Super-CD's and etc have had little commercial success even though they produce better sound. This might lead one to believe that its hard to get the mas…

Does anyone actually think Blu-Ray or even HD-DVD could ever equal the same sales volume by 2010 as traditional DVD's have had over the last 5 years? Optical HD drives will be a niche gap-filler product until the masses finally make the switch to…

Quote: Originally posted by Telomar I have a very simple reason for wanting HD-DVD eradicated, it's name it too long. HD-DVD = 5 syllables, Blu-Ray is 2. I know which one I want to be saying. Who needs technical merit? **To the average …

Beta had better video quality then VHS and Macs are superior to PCs , so its rather obvious that having the best product doesnt always translate to having the best sales. I dont think anyone will argue the blu-ray technology isn't better then HD-…

h.264 compresses the file to easily fit on a hd-dvd with room to spare. I personally believe that HD optical drives for the average consumers will be trumped by cheap HD-DVR's provided by cable/satellite co's. Who knows maybe the ipod will become…

So in other words do you think Jobs wasnt impressed with Cell enough to create a new line of vector computers to take advantage of Cell unique technology? With all the Hype about "Cell" on these boards over the last 12 months you would believe it…

I guess OS-eleven (or whate ever it gets called) will be for new Ap-tel machines in 2006.

Another problem that faces both the music and movie industry is the enormous amount of content available to the consumer. Back in the day stores only kept new releases a few classics on the shelves. With the onset of superstores and the internet new…

Just as the Opera and plays use to be the entertainment of choice but now has been reduced to a niche in the entertainment industry, maybe the mega cinema might go down the same path. I do think if George Lucas can produce a true high quality 3D …

Is anybody else sick of watching "The Twenty" before the trailers even start? I don't mind seeing trailers since I look forward to seeing good ones like Chronicles of Narnia before SW's EP3 but the whole "The Twenty" advertising thing before the …
