You know, if you think about it things have gotten smaller. For example, at first we had CDs, then we had DVDs. When the mini DVD came out it held 1.4GB, the disc was smaller but if you think about it, they still held alot more than CDs and they were half the size. So I think in a way things are getting smaller because I'm sure when HD-DVD and Blu-ray formats become more popular they will make a mini version of those formats too, and as just an estimate I would say they will hold around the same amount of data as a single (if not duel) layer DVD.

One day, I'm sure they will be the size of a dime. That will be kinda scary, because then, they'd become a lot harder to keep up with.

HVD can basically do that. That's why I'm skipping the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray thing.
-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

I don't think this battle between the 2 formats is going to help anybody, they both have their advantages but neither has any major disadvantages.
In the end it is the customers that lose out who chose the wrong format.
I expect whichever becomes the easiest/cheapest format to pirate/backup will end up the winner of this one.
And as for it bieng cracked I think the method described in the article is not going to be very practical for most people and will require quite a long time to make a backup of a disc.
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent...

Sure, HVD will have the quality of Blu-ray or HD, and will probably make them look like 1960's broadcast TV. HVD is a storage system, which is why I mentioned it apropos to gogochar's comments. Whatever picture standard and compression mechanism will be used on top of it is up to the standards committee though there might be something better more proven than h.264 and whatnot by the time it is standardized as a video format. Last I heard 300 Mb discs were ready, which is about 12 BR discs. Or you could hold a conventional, hi-def movie in a "disc" about 1/12 the size of a current BD or HD disc, if you want to look at it that way.

@aabbccdd:
HD-DVD is also encoded in 1080p.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD
Quote:
All movie titles released so far have had the feature encoded in 1080p (although the currently available HD DVD players do not have a 1080p output option), with supplements in 480i or 480p. Most titles are encoded with VC-1.
The ideal situation for either BluRay or HD-DVD would be:
(1) a player that can output the pure 1080p/24 signal without processing
(2) a display that can accept the pure 1080p/24 signal eliminating 3:2 pulldown and motion judder.
The Sony Ruby and Pearl projectors and some Pioneer plasmas accept 1080p/24. Am I right Ced? Some next gen HD-DVD players (Toshiba HD-XA2 in particular) will output 1080p/60 thru HDMI.
BTW, I got the Panasonic DMP-BD10 BluRay player from my dealer yesterday and I'll spend the next few days putting it through its paces.

I thought JVC won. I'm thinking of the Betamax vs. VHS battle.
Anaway, HD-DVD all the way!!!
Dave[/quote]Yep and Sony never wins. The PS3 trojan horse is Sony's only hope.

I was also looking at this model. Let us know how it works on your setup.

ISF calibration for me is the holy grail. If I do decide I'll probably have him calibrate my projector too.

True. Actually, it's a never-ending quest to get you to re-purchase the same crap you've bought umpteen times before, essentially turning you into a human ATM. I prefer to call it Getting Milked Like A Cow.

Does anyone know if ISF calibrators will work on 1080p displays with a 1080p test signal? I have a Sony XBR1 series SXRD and a Sony Pearl projector both at 1080p. The Pearl can accept a 1080p signal thru HDMI.
Here's a video signal generator that can output 1080p signals - the Sencore VP403C

@eatsushi: Give me a couple more days with the Panny then I'll post my impressions. I need to get a few more quality BD releases.
