But I can\'t really say anything that is based on acknowledgement; only quessing.


good cause i buy like 2 dvds a week, i would hate to think that they will be replaced in a couple years. I\'m just now getting dome replacing all the movies i had on vhs with them on dvd.

Phantom Menace DVD rumored to appear this Christmas.  FMD is not the DVD killer.  The specs are far off from being finalized, this includes the faggy movie execs who want to make sure these 1920 x 1080 discs will have state of the art copy protection.

DVD is too popular now to be a fad.  Sony, Philips, Panasonic, and Toshiba will make sure of that.

damn i hope so THX...and mm you are WRONG, FMD is generations away...DVD is going to be around for a very long time...longer than VHS in my opinion.....we still don\'t have DVD players made to take advantage of H/S/D/TV for christ sakes...

Actually, DVD is 480p, progressive players take advantage of this SD resolution.  HDTV can be 720p and 1080i.  DVDs are pretty low-res when you think about it.  Even NTSC broadcast can be sharper in many instances.

Actually I agree with mm to some degree. I don\'t think that DVDs will not be replaced immediatly but I do believe that they will not be around as long as VHS. VHS was the standard for so long because we didn\'t have the technology for anything better. Sure, CD ROMs had great quality sound and visuals, but not enough storage capacity for an entire movie. In my opinion DVDs will be replaced with a better medium within the next 5-10 years. Buts thats just my opinion.

You know whats funny?
Everyone likes complaining about the DVD quality of the PS2,
but I as of yet have had no problems playing movies.
And the Matrix wont play in 7 leading manufactures DVD players, it works fine in mine. So does Scary movie.

Quality and compatibility are 2 different issues.  On the compatibility side, my ps2 seems to be working fine as well.  Maybe we got a good batch. :)

Yeah, same here.

BTW, did anyone read the article about a PS2 at that Mac-thingy in Japan? I think it was on CoreMagazine. They asked Apple why they had chosen a PS2 to demonstrate some DVD-authoring program. They answered something like "because of it\'s high quality playback". :)

I have to hook my PS2 up through my VCR which sucks because it decreases the picture quality.
 
But I\'ve had no problems. DVDs play fine. No skipping or anything.
