...audio reproduction can come very close to the live event, and video is in a different world entirely.Most of us love good quality images. That is why I installed the HDTV as soon as it became a reality. Truth is, all and by itself it offers a few minutes of fun - I haven't watched it in months.
That is why all that HD DVD hoopla is such a non-event to me.
But it looks like some here want to convince me I must be excited over it...
Follow Ups:
I want to see video as good as it does.
In general terms.
Or as good as the director intend it to be.
Now would I rebuy my thousands of videos again?
No.
I will bring a large suitcase and unload you of... say... a few hundred titles when I stop by... would THAT help?Shit... I will even buy a multi-system DVD player just for that! I already checked... I can get one for $35!
Things I would do for a friend!
You may laugh, but I forgot last time to offer you a lot of DVD´s that I have in double, as the suckers at Amazon, very often announce their titles as closed captioned and of course they are not, so I write: Not CC! and they send me a new DVD then, which of course is still not!later time I wrote them often about that problem, but nothing happen. So now when no CC I want my money back, and as it is of no interrest for them that I send all the way back their items, I am stuck with quite a few that are just in my way...
You may look at them and maybe a few titles could happen to please you...For a friend.....he-he...
But hey, what's $10,000 between friends?No problem, I will GLADLY dig through that pile! Just make sure you don't forget - set them aside NOW!
I will, there must be at least twenty to thirty dvd´s.
I will wrap them in a plastic bag.
And take the LV.

I'm curious about it, but I don't expect to buy into HD-DVD or Blue-ray, even though my TV would show it well. At best, I think it will be a niche market, like SACD. At worst, it will die shortly after birth.

Since I am detached from that development, I think I can judge it objectively, and taken as such, I think you might be right.I know people tend to equate the explosion of large screen TV sales to the development of HD format, but I believe the reality is different, and the great majority of those buying them would still do if HD did not exist.
The great majority of people who own them, simply view the normal cable broadcast, which is ridiculously bad in quality, but apparently good enough for 99% of people. And today you can buy a decent DVD player for under $39...
I believe there are undeniable parallels between the HD DVD and the SACD.
