Hi,
>News that every first run movie was to be released in HD
>would help.
The list of Movies which where the first to be released on HD-DVD
was really letdown, only new US-Baddies.
As I know really old ones (from 1949 and before) will probably not
be better on HD, I might wait for long time also I do not have a HDTV
yet. As I watch film mostly for the story, not for effects and picture-
quality, I am not really interested in HD.
What also turns me of, that I noticed, that quite a lot of DVD's are not
even full DVD-Quality (might be the source-material, I watch a lot of
TV-Series), so I ask myself, how can HD better, than they make mistakes
even on DVD?
Bladerunner might swing it for me, but as above stated, no HDTV.
What I need is something to backup, but cannot pay (and will not
pay) Eur 1000 for a drive. Blue-Ray might be better for backup,
but I'll wait for either one of two things for a drive:
- price-tag lower than Eur 200 for an external computer-drive
- what Apple puts in the next-gen iMac, if I can pay for that
(24" iMac = HD-Resolution, but so far no HD-DRM-Playback...).
A standalone player for me is nowhere in sight.
Given that my player is a cheapo, bought before MP4 / DivX / Xvid
was really out, I might even buy another DVD-Player, just for that
reason.
Bye,
Ingo Lembcke
