In Reply to: So you don't think the extra storage space is needed ? posted by oscar on April 14, 2007 at 07:20:33:
It really isn't being used. BR discs aren't famous for having much in the way of extras, or any for that matter, and the audio doesn't take up that much space really.>>>I expect to want to replace my first generation player (or relegate to 2nd room) with a more capable player within a couple of years.<<<
Or next fall/winter, when/if the BD-video 1.1 and 2.0 specs get finalized, and current players may or may not work with new movies. Untill then, BD won't get many of Waner's movies like Batman Begins, V for vendetta, The Matrix trilogy etc., that require interactive features.
Enjoy,
Jack
Follow Ups:
And I don't give two hoots about the extras/internet capabilities/etc provided with the movies. I just want to watch the movies and with the best audio and video quality possible. At the present, Blu-Ray provides the best audio/video experience (though that may just be an accident of selected source material). That could change down the road. In the meantime I'll continue to support whichever format supports the movies I want to watch with the best PQ/AQ.
Its unknown if BR movies with new encoding for BD-J (1.1 and up)will be playable on old machines. maybe, maybe not-perhaps a firmware upgrade will do the trick. But, since BDA has not been able to impliment it yet, we just don't know.

No, it doesn't, at best its equal to HD DVD.

Just think about all the (space consuming) neat-o features Blu-Ray will be able to support better than HD-DVD when the new BD-J features become mandatory for Blu-Ray players....Also, what I was stating was the Blu-Ray movies I have watched have given ME a better audio/video experience than the HD-DVD movies I have experienced. I would not jump to the conclusion that there aren't better HD-DVD movies out there to experience. Nevertheless, there is no refuting the fact that Blu-Ray provides higher storage capacity to support higher video bitrates, higher audio bit rates, and BTW, more capacity for all those neat extras, trailers, alternate directors cuts/endings, PIP, commentaries, etc....
Why so defensive about HD-DVD. Afraid it's about to die ? :0)
Parsons is the guy who already claimed HD DVD was dead.:-) We'll see how acurate he is here...

Not on current players, kind of makes that extra space a waste doesn't it?I don't refute the high storage or bitrate, just the need. Not too many non-MPEG2 movies need or use it.
Oh, and good luck with the interactive PiP, both Universal and Warner are rather insistant on it. Without it, Warner will leave the BDA. Its a pity that the BDA didn't get their specs finalized *before* they hit the market.> > > Why so defensive about HD-DVD. Afraid it's about to die ? :0) < < <
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Not defensive, I just didn't drink the blue Kool-aid. I've said before that both fomats will be around for while, and I'll probably get a BD player when they put out enough movies to justify it. That may be a while though.
Enjoy,
Jack
