There you go folks - want A_S to shut up?  Just takes a few million dollars!


I started to get out my checkbook since I'd be more than happy to do my part.  Then I re-read his reply.  He didn't say he would shut up for a million.  He said he'd say HD DVD is the way.

So you can count me out.  Having him go on and on and on about HD DVD would be nearly as bad as what he's already doing for Blu-ray.

Maybe, but I just would have any facts to back me up then.  Well, not having facts to back up what you say doesn't seem to bother people that argue in favor of HD DVD, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.

It about time Bill fesses up.  But he's still a tool.  He should have posted much sooner that he was at least looking into it.  Instead, he choose to let that false information sit there for a week and a half.  And his "HD-DVD Evangelism office" remark is snide and unprofessional.

You don't understand.  That IS the name of the dept.  It's the "HD DVD Evangelism" office.  I stated this before.  Look it up.

I think the only fact here is that people quit reading this thread because they get tired of the back-n-forth arguments that can't have a winner.

The Dr. is *OUT*.

Please include links (no forum links) to assure that it is a fact.  That is why no one that favors HD DVD will accept my challenge.

I don't think anyone else really cares about this issue enough to do the research and provide links.  Furthermore, most people are smart enough to take EVERYTHING said in a forum with a grain of salt.  If someone is looking to buy into one or the other formats, they are going to be doing research at sites that give reviews of the players and the formats.  No one will be stupid enough to read a forum and expect to get unbiased results.  For example, you have people in 3 categories.  People who have bought into one format or the other and are biased towards it and will disparage the other format.  These people have NEVER owned the other format and are not qualified to be giving reviews about its pros and cons.  Until you have watched several movies on a format in your own living room on your own home theater, you don't know what you are talking about.  The next category is composed of people who own neither format and are not qualified to comment on the pros and cons of either one.  The last category is people who own both formats and could care less how this war will end.  The only category that is qualified to give reviews about the pros and cons of both formats and compare the 2 are people in this last category and they really don't care anymore because they know that you get the same picture quality and audio quality off both formats if a modern codec is used for the encoding.  The only big difference is the price of the players with HD DVD players being much cheaper than the Blu-ray players.

What is this "challenge" anyway?  Does it involve pistols at sunrise?

- - -

Lord Bullingdon, cock your pistol, and prepare to fire.

[Because of his nervousness, he misfires into the ground.]
         
Sir Richard, this pistol must be faulty. I must have another one.
 
I'm sorry, Lord Bullingdon, but you must first stand your ground and allow Mr. Lyndon his turn to fire.

That is correct, Lord Bullingdon. Your pistol has fired, and that counts as your shot.

Mr. Lyndon, are the rules of firing clear to you?

Yes.

Lord Bullingdon... are you ready to receive Mr. Lyndon's fire?

About time we get some good HD media info. I see the infamous Pacman graph isn't only alive in this forum, as the article clearly described.

Good link

Here is a good article that talks about the HDMI 1.3. It's by the same author of the article posted by Mark H.

A good read that helps clarify HDMI 1.3 and if it's really all that important.

That's also a good article, but it's a little outdated.  The new Toshiba A35 player supports Deep Color.  Why?  I have no clue since it's not in the spec and there aren't any Deep Color discs out there.  Can they make discs in Deep Color?  As I understand the situation, no.  But I'm not 100% positive.

But where it is outdated is the sound information.  The new high end Toshiba player is supposed to have the ability to send the encode sound track to the receiver.  I don't know the specifics, but I hear it will be possible.  Of course that leaves the question of why.  As the article points out, the encoded sound tracks are like zip files.  So does it really matter if the player or the receiver does the unzipping?  I'm not really sure.  But if nothing else, it will make the people who have recievers who can accept those tracks feel good.  Beyond that, I have no knowledge.
