this RDM thing is 1920p, (Super HD) and at the moment barely anyone anywhere has a super HD tv, people are only just taking up HD, super HD adoption is at least another 5 years away and even then youre assuming that RDM will get early adoption from majour studios

 

Soooo... what your saying is Buy this new format, because your 1080p movies will look just as good and cheap, and in 5 years when prices of the "Super HD" models come down, we will be ready...

So true furture proof Format at the price of DvD's... ya I'd say it's a safe bet.

 

what studio is gonna adopt another format that wont sell for 5 years? i can see it happening in 2013 when people start buying super hd tvs, but i doubt any majour studios will adopt before then, and Blu-Ray isnt that expensive, its the same as dvd was when it first launched, and as for future proof, youre making the assumption that no one will release a competetive format and at no point do i suggest anyone should buy a technology that wont be value for money for 5 years and even then only if it sees mass market adoption and has no competting formats.

I don't see why the studios would not adopt this format; as long as it provides what the company is currently claiming. The players and media is suppose to be in line with current DVDs and upgrading the production to support this new format from DVD does not seem to require much.

Even if it supports resolutions that current TVs cannot display, it is not going to look worst than current HD movies. Lower cost and ready for future TVs at a lower cost than blu-ray; how is that bad?
