Please support blu-ray

I dont get this.

Everyone is ripping HD-DVD when there is no HD-DVD burners.
And even when they are released, all the movies are on double layer discs which wont be available in recordable media for a very long time.

Blu-ray burners are already out, and i have one.
Blu-ray movies are mostly on single layer discs.
This should make blu-ray the easiest format to copy?

I want to watch movies on my HDTV not on my PC

If the end result is not something i can burn on a disc and play on my stand alone hd dvd/bluray player. its useless.

 

It'll happen in time but not soon.

 

Quit with the posts about bluray already. There are several posts about this topic. It will come in time if it doesn't fail like every other Sony proprietary format.

 

Just like the old beta-max vs VHS wars, we have come full circle.

 

A new recording dye based on proven AZO-Technology specially designed for HD DVD-R allows Verbatim to achieve optimum data writing quality, minimising the thermal interference between data marks which is a key performance parameter as the data density of HD DVD is over 3.5 times higher than that of standard DVD.

Verbatim proved the media's high read/write compatibility in numerous tests with the latest HD DVD burners and players. Movie fans can immediately enjoy the sharp images high definition technology provides.
I do not think Verbatim would be making recordables discs if the burners were very far behind.

Dual Layer HD DVD-R media with a capacity of 30GB will be available in February.

 

Blu_Ray sucks and only has about 6 months till dooms day... Blu_Ray sucks more now then ever.

 

I cannot make that assumption since I never experienced it yet, but I do know that HP is selling computers with HD recordable drives . Looky here

 

beta maxx should of won but its the same thing over (dumb people dont know which formate is better) the avg or less avg joe would assume hd dvd is better because "HD" is HIGH DEFINATION and blue ray might not ... lol i'v herad that one before...

i stronglly think blue ray should be the clear winner here more space = less conpression = better quality disc , even if hd dvd does have good video coding the less conpression the better the quality is thats plain simple

now back to the other reason why hd dvd wants or atlest getting the edge is because some support it more ( ie porn indistrys) are support hd or maybe hd is paying them not to touch blue ray who knows ...

BOTTOM LINE : i think both blue ray and hd should be combied so hd dvd can learn from blue ray advantages and blue ray can learn to better code their movies ... blue ray has more advantages then hd right now , harder to copy disc more compacity and other things that hd doesnt and i cant tihnk of many now

 

If you cant think of one ill give you one.....Blue-Ray=Sony=Garbage

The more you support these people the more you allow them to walk all over youre rights.Sony does nothing more than try to push their propierty garbage on all of us and its time for it to stop.Wouls be really nice to see Sony loose this one.They say that Blue-Ray out sells HD thats bs and their relaying on their PS3 which has ok sales in japan but is not doing well in the US.

 

well im sorry for mr i hate sony person but why you against them? i know the facts between both thats why im judging what about you? and this is coming from a customer that buys SONy MS toshiba well alot from either compeittors

 

I wont buy Sony period.Like i said if you look at their products they always lock consumers in to their propierty hardware which means you have to buy more Sony products.Also Sony has always banked on the Sony name but their products are not even close to being superior over other companies like Toshiba.Sony is trying to lock the comsumer down more than HD and is trying to decide for you what you can do with youre purchased media.As long as people support them there always going to be able to get away with what their doing and i wont give them a cent to justify their cause.

 

I've seen this topic (HD vs BR) turn into huge flame wars in other forums. State your points with factual information please. This is general warning (not aimed at anyone in particular): I will not allow this thread to turn into a fanboy vs fanboy flamewar. oliceman:

 

You don't sound credible when you don't even know how to spell the format properly.

Consider this a warning. oliceman:

If you want to debate, fine. Debate the points raised--and not the user's capacity to spell properly. Thank you

 

You are right. My apologies.

 

No problem. I know that this (BR vs HD) is a very touchy subject, and a lot of people get very angry and upset over it.

Now how about a nice conversation of religion and politics instead? /ducks

 

yeah tell me about it its a tough one alright , and sorry that i cant spell perfectly but you know what im trying to say

 

Because Sony has shown time and again, that it will screw end-consumers in order to get a "leg up" on anyone and everything. It truly deserves to lose the HD format war.

im not gonna flame or anytin like that but dude seriously i dont know what you mean by them forcing people in on more on their products....

 

Usually the one who is first in the market has at least an advantage from the beginning. And I see everywhere blue-ray writers but no HD-DVD writer yet.
However, I am quite sure, that in the end both formats will co-exist, similar to the DVD-R / DVD+R "fight". In the end all drives will read/write both formats and everyone is happy. Just wait a bit, at the moment it's anyway too expensive (> 650 € for a bluy-ray drive)
