Re: Sony HD CAM and HD Burning

I hope so Spex, and personally reject the idea of buying yet another set of
favorite DVDs in BluRay, only to see them subsequently made obsolete when
Sony decided it is time for "UltraDefinition" DVDs a few years later. I have
used AppleTV with 720p downloads, and it does look very nice.

We unfortunately are still left with the issue of how to distribute our HDV
and other high def content. HD DVD is low cost and extremely high quality,
but BluRay will take a long time to reach this level of economy IMHO.

Sorry to see HD DVD retreating. Seems like the studios and Sony will
have there way with consumers.

I say I hope they enjoy their brief period of success. The future is
downloads straight into the home. The 720p downloads from iTunes are
surprisingly good considering the amount of compression but that will be a
short term problem until broader pipes are common which isn't far off.
Blu-ray hasn't won any war just a battle to be the eventual runner up. I'd
wager 100mbs broadband will be common before blu-ray even takes a sizable
chunk of the market away from good ol' DVD.
