Next gen system optical formats

Some news came out about HD-DVD.  Rather than creating a new thread...

- HD-DVD will output hi-def over HDMI ONLY.
- Analogue outputs will be downrezzed to 480p
- Mastering material is based on 1080p (no word yet on native HD-DVD res)
- At launch there will be 3 options for studios: 15Gb / 30Gb / 45Gb disks (single / dual / triple layer)
- These disk sizes translate into 4, 8, 12 hrs using MPEG-4/AVC compression.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds22406.html

Sooooo, if you see a fancy new set that catches your eye make sure it has HDMI.  Toshiba is stepping up security to appease the studios.

On one hand it screws the consumers who have an HDTV w/o HDMI.  On the other, studos will push for this more secure format and ultimately try to phase DVD out.  They hate the thought of people having perfect digital copies of their material.

I didn\'t notice this thread...so I missed this thread and didn\'t vote before.

BTW, I just voted for Blu-Ray and was quite surprise to see all the vote goes to Blu Ray.  Horray.

Oh, something I like to point out that wasn\'t mention in this thread, Sony is working on 8 layers on Blu Ray which total out 200 GB.  I know some of you know this already, but I just thought I should mention it.  Oh, this 8 layers is also backward compatible with the current 2 and 4 layers on Blu Ray...at least, that is what i read on the internet...

Again, Blu Ray all the way.

Ahh nice catch.  That\'s what I get for skimming over the article. ;)

DVD just like CD has served us great.  You won\'t get any complaints about that.  For now this new tech will be for the early adopters but in serveral years time when the average Joe has an HDTV maybe you\'ll start to browse through the HD-DVD/BR titles.

Just to let you know I was the one who voted for HD-dvd, not becuase I favour it over Blu-ray, I just felt HD-dvd was looking loney there in the Poll.,

BTW I prefer Blu-Ray over HD-dvd.
