That's nothing, look at this one. And I have actually noticed it on some sites.

it's weird how it says play no secretly as if it is some sort of porn site.

Do you think that eventually all movies will be on blu-ray only, and CD's will be replaced by DVD's for music? Possibly an even higher quality of disc replacing blu-ray too? (Where the more likely version would be 100% digital copy).

I'm mostly interested in the CD/DVD thing, i mean, CD songs are like 70 megs per song, so thats REALLY high quality, i wouldn't see DVD's as offering anything REALLY extra..

this is some PRETTY high thinkin... just lettin ya'll know ;)

Well I had a quick look into it a while ago, DVDs vs Blu-Ray. I didn't know this (i didnt even know how discs were read...); but the way the data is read on Blu-Ray disc uses a shorter wave length (closer to the blue end of the spectrum rather than red end of the spectrum which DVDs use), meaning it can pack more data into a smaller physical space.

So I started to think if it could have even shorter wave lengths (Violet or even Ultra-Violet perhaps) and I came across one site;

this site

The rest seemed to be about dogs or golf...

But, keep in mind that site report was dated back to 2004, but atleast someone was actually thinking about it. Imagine, 500GB discs, that's the size of a average External HDD.

Personally, I don't think Blu-Ray discs will stick around for long, but if they did - they would probably be a more expensive alternative to DVD. And thats it.

Interesting concept, yeah thats a problem with PS3 games always needing manditory installs. BluRay only reads at 1 speed so load times are really hard, where as DVD's can just move their reading-eye across the disc and the disc doesn't need to change speeds to be read.

its neato burrito :D

Personally i'm actually NOTICING a huge diff between high def and normal dvd quality movies..there's quite a difference, so i beleive blu ray will deff become the normal, but probably for not THAT long, as something bigger will emerge,

Or more likely, 100% digital copys.

Really? I didn't know that. Does that mean Blu-Ray movies take a while to begin playing and also when you change chapters? DVD is too widely used to be replaced, at the moment atleast.

They're cheaper to produce, cheaper to buy drives for, and right now the 30gig HD Dvd compared to the 50gig HD Blu-ray really isnt such a big deal. At least thats my 2 cents, I'm probably completely off, and I wont mind if blu-ray becomes the norm.

I've seen the rise and fall of everything from Betamax and 8 tracks.. the fall of vinyl LPs.. to HD-DVDs (not Bluray) and am generally on the forefront of new technology, because I absolutely love it.

My personal opinion is that there is a great chance (Not definite obviously, or I'd be rich playing the market) that many things will simply move to downloads and hard drives, and we'll lose our physical media.

The main argument is 'quality.' There is always a trade off though. Look at the majority of slightly tech-savvy people out there. What do you own more of? Songs on CDs or MP3s? MP3 quality is ghastly compared to a CD, but... it's good enough, so most of us choose the MP3 route because its portable, easy and gets the job done.

Another argument is album art... having a CD in your possession, ect.. ect.. They'll find a way around that. The ease of distribution for digital media gives companies a huge hard on as well. No sitting on inventory, manufacturing items.. all the fun stuff that comes with trying to sell a product.

Personally, I don't think Blu-Ray discs will stick around for long, but if they did - they would probably be a more expensive alternative to DVD. And thats it.

They're much, much higher quality for both audio and video than a DVD is. The video isn't too apparent until you start getting into 40"+ TVs (and the larger the size, the more noticeable it becomes.. ) and the audio becomes more apparent the more channels you have (5.7, 7.1, 9.1) and the better quality speaker you have.

If you play a Bluray and a DVD on a 32" TV with stereo sound, you may not notice even a small difference.

I originally banked on HD-DVD and own a player. Backed them because they allowed other companies to manufacture HD-DVDs. Bluray didn't. The moment Bluray started licensing their software, I knew HD-DVD was dead. And it is...

Me and the girl just sold 90% of my DVD collection. Think we had 200 of them or so, and sold the entire box of them for $50.00. We kept a few that were hard to replace and that's about it. Got 8 Bluray for christmas (boondock saints, band of brothers mini, fight club, star trek and some others) and really, next time I go to buy a movie, it will be on Bluray. The price has come WAY down.

Now.. 4 of those Bluray (50% of them) actually came with a second disk to load onto my PC/iPhone/whatever a digital, high-quality version of the movie.

So now, they're just coming with it. Soon, I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced it. I've downloaded probably 50 movies unto my Xbox hard drive (some just rentals) and many of them have been available in HD, and sit at about 5gb.

Terabyte hard drives are down to like $100.00. Entire houses are networked. (My computer regularly talks to my PC) Everything is getting cheaper. Internet is getting faster. Storage is getting easy.

If Bluray doesn't replace DVDs, HD format saved on hard drives will.

Onto Video games... the other removable media. Companies like OnLive are having their way with that as well, and if I were a major developer, that would look very tasty. Ubisoft and others seem to think so, and have already signed up.

Won't be long.

You can get high capacity CDs, called Super Audio CD (probably because calling something "super audio" makes it sound badass). Apparently there is also a DVD-Audio format, and there's a format war, but neither are really kicking off. I don't really see the point. If you compress to a slightly lower quality, you can easily fit ~100 tracks on a CD with no worries. I believe a lot of the CD is taken up by DRM.

A single layer BD is 25GB, dual layer is 50GB, and higher disc sizes are in the making (and have been for a while). Apparently we're going to see 500GB BD this year, and even up to 1TB is being developed, but I think this is ridiculous - and of course incredibly unnecessary. I think BD will stick around for a few years, and it's definitely starting to take off already, which is nice. You can get cheap BD movies now so I actually buy some. I have a ridiculous DVD collection (between myself and my family) because you can get DVDs for super cheap 2nd hand or whatever, but I have a lot of my favourite movies on blu-ray.

I'm not a huge fan of digital copies because I don't think there is a suitable system in place yet. Steam is fantastic for digital distribution, because it's available for PC and that's the only platform you need it for - however with movies, you can view them on so many devices that if you purchase a copy you want to be able to play it on anything. With DRM, this is very difficult. It'd be fantastic to download a movie/video and be able to transfer the file to my PS3, iPod, other PCs.. and be able to watch it on all those, but it's not going to happen. It'd be great if there was a service like Steam that I could buy my video on and re-download anytime I need it on a new device, but that would mean making the platform application run on PS3, 360, etc. This could be done (for the most part) through a website, but that's not perfect.

I prefer to have physical copies of things.

Also I'd just like to say:

its possible the publish settings has the jpg quality set low.. the default setting usually sucks, same with the audio quality, if you leave it at default itll sound terrible.

Thanks Luis. I know this is not the problem though. It looks fine on spam the web, and the same file looks crappier on NG for some reason. It's almost seems like it's been resized by a pixel. That would cause all the raster assets to look crappy, because the vector assets all look fine. Whatever it is, it's a fairly recent development (last 2 months).

Actually, I can play any movie I have on my PC streamed through my xbox360 or PS3, or plugged straight into my TV.

They'll think of something.

That's a good point, I do that myself.. though my video collection is on an external hard drive so I usually just plug that in to my PS3, but it's a good way to watch my things in friends rooms over wifi.

Was Tarboy this year? Heh. I haven't watched much flash this year. Tarboy was great though.

Movie-movie though, is a very difficult choice between Inglorious Basterds, District 9, Avatar and "In The Loop" (which I doubt anyone saw >:3 it was a spin-off from some English political comedy that I forget the name of and don't watch, but it was fantastic).
