DVD offered a huge change in how we look at media. It was flexable as a formate in the fact that it offered user menus, scene sellection, a much lower degragation in quality over time, and overall easier to use. BD does do all of these things but it dosnt change it up much. The conveince is the same. Digital download does seem like it would be a good alternative and I do think that it will become the dominant formate as long as the increase in flash media pull forward at the pace it is. Flash media offers many conviances that optical disc cant. You could easily put a dicoder into a tv with a small flash reader with almost no increase to size. You could download a video the put it onto a flash chip sd, Ms, your choice Take it with you and watch it everywhere. I think that the combination of higher bandwidth with the convience of flash media will provail over BD. Erm, while I think its a bit early to say that blu-ray is doomed, I think the author makes some valid points. While he focuses on the player, for me its more about the cost of the HD titles themselves. The prices for the players will come down dramatically, naturally, but I think many people will only want one if they can get a good selection of movies at non-nosebleed prices. When the price for an HD-DVD player came down to 200, it was worth it for me to buy one-but ONLY because it came with 6 free high-def titles, and I knew Id have something to watch. I have bought maybe 1 or 2 high-def titles since, and even if my chosen format was not doomed to oblivion, I would not be rushing out to buy many more at the current prices. Unless youre doing an A/B comparison, the comment about DVD looking good enough is right on the money. I have a 50 plasma not full HD, but 1366×768 and regular DVD titles look FANTASTIC. HD looks better, yes, but not enough to cause me to rush out and replace lots of titles from my DVD library. In my view, for blu-ray to survive, the cost of players AND titles needs to come down rather quickly. Otherwise it risks not being sufficiently entrenched by the time a better media format comes along, or digital downloading becomes sufficiently viable to render it pointless. Don; I have to say I disagree dr goldfoot and the bikini machine trailer agree to a point; Blu Ray is not doomed however, but it will be adopted by videophiles who already have big screen HDTVs and big bucks. The majority of people will not be getting Blu Ray for quite a few years from now untill they replace their SD CRT tvs and the price of players and especially discs come way down in price. Out of all the people I know only 3 have HD TV at all myself included, I know over 40 people. The rest all have SD tv and CRTs to boot! So they are NOT going to buy a blu ray player anytime soon. As for me Im still converting my VHS collection to DVD even though I bought a combo HD BD player Im the only person in my circle who has an HD optical player of any kind. I wont be converting all my DVDs to BD, I doubt half of the titles will ever even be released in BD anyway. many of the VHS titles I have were never even released on SD DVD! As for HD DVD the Chinese are going to be using it so even though as far as the west and Japan are Blu Ray, HD DVD will still be around somewhere, so dont feel bad those that are stuck with it youll probably be able to get some movies and players for some time to come online from China. Downloads are not going to be dr goldfoot and the bikini machine trailer in HD for most for some time yet and youll still have to burn it to a blank Blu ray disk if you want to keep a permanent copy anyway.
