I predict that your skull is at least two to three inches thick
dense bone where brains should be.

>There are 7 excellent reasons:
>
>1. DVD is, exactly like VHS, "good enough", cheap, and ubiquitous.

Nope. It IS good enough for the shit TVs that "good enough" twits
like you have, but it is nowhere near good enough for those of us with
higher resolution display devices. If you do not own one, you are too
fucking stupid to opine about them, dig?

> Even
>playing on my computer, the video and audio are crisp.

Your computer is a higher resolution device than your TV is, you
fucking idiot.

>2. The HDDVD & Bluray hardware including monitor, video card, and drive
>are hyperexpensive and beyond the means of most people.

The formats were NOT meant for the computer realm, you dumbass. It
is a home theater/consumer electronics device. To put it on the PC
means that if YOU want to play, YOU have to pay.

It is the same as it ever was. You are the one wearing the fucking
blinders.

> The minority of

You're an idiot.

>The only hope for HDDVD was the Microsoft $200 USB drive, but without a
>good ripper program to let the consumer avoid buying a new monitor &
>video card, even that is useless.

Your mindset is far too bent for you to even be considered as having
any knowledge about the industry at all, pirate boy.

>3. The Bluray-HDDVD war has only just begun.

You're an idiot.

> Expect 2 to 5 years for it
>to be resolved.

Being idiot you are, how could you expect us to believe your
pathetic prophecies?

>4. Actual movie theaters are far better pictures than HDDVD or Bluray.

Not much, you retarded fuck, and wasn't it you just a few lines ago
stating the regular DVD was good enough? Make up your mind, bone
head.

>Even the low-end digital cinema projectors have a 2048-pixel wide
>image.

You don't even have a clue as to what you speak of. Those
projectors cost thousands of dollars, dipshit.

If you could declare what the data rate of the stream they process
for that 2048 wide pixel array, and the spoundtrack, I MIGHT put an
ounce of credence in your remarks, but there is zero chance of that.

> Compare a $4 matinee ticket to the insane cost of HDDVD & Bluray
>hardware

Matinee tickets haven't been $4 for first run shows in years, boy.
Are you a fucking recluse?

> -- even the game systems are expensive.

That has nothing to do with the disc format, dumb ass. The amount
of data in the games requires more capacity. Players demand better,
sharper graphics.

I demand that you leave this newsgroup till you get some brains.

Go back to jacking off, pops. We don't give a shit. Your opinions
are pretty fucking lame though.

>5. DVD's rippability is perceived by a certain percentage of consumers
>as a precondition for purchasing.

You're an idiot. Property protection is in your future. Get used
to it, you pirate sounding fucktard.

> Lack of it makes HDDVD/Bluray a
>non-starter.

You're an idiot. My library grows now no differently than it did
before. Only pirate fucktards like you think that you should be given
the right to steal.

Calling a US business a "terrorist organization" is as retarded as
the rest of your spew has been. People have the right to protect
their property, and they will do so, and little wussified twits like
you are not going to make one dent in their market. The only
difference is that this time, you retarded bastards will not be
ripping them off.

Fuck off, link boy. shit snipped.

>7. Better technology is always coming.

If you knew anything at all about the electronics industry, you
would know that it constantly evolves.

The thing is that if an idiot like you standing on the way side,
mouthing off peanut gallery piss and moan baby bullshit is going to
miss it all. If you want to play, you got to pay, dumbass.

Dumbass. HD DVD is NOT for data. Check my posts. I have said that
holo discs are going to win for a long time now... over a year.

A holo disc has to be processed while the stream is popping off,
just to assemble the stream, them further processing would be needed
for A/V streaming. So holo seems to me to be for data. A linear
worm, like what our current standard optical disc methodologies are
today is ideal for A/V as the stream only has to be processed once as
it peels off.

The current set of HD displays, and the current level of resolution
provided by HD DVD, and BluTurd IS the state of the art and is going
to be what the industry goes with for some time to come.

Regardless of what bullshit your widdle bwain concocts, that's the
way it is.

Shut up with the ripping, you retarded fuck!

This group is about DVD video, not your PC rip it store it
fantasies. Grow the fuck up!

>The consumer is king and he holds the cards,

All yours are bent, and tattered, and there's that thing about all
those missing marbles.

Your brain is on one. Sheesh.

That is aside from the cross-posting Usenet retard thing. Do you
know or abide by ANY fucking rules?
