HD-DVD and Bluray aren't going to see the sort of adoption that DVD had. DVD offered a lot of features that VHS didn't have (menus, commentary, scene selection, bonuses) and there was also a flood of content released on it (rereleases of old movies and boxed sets of TV shows).
HD-DVD has no substantial new features aside from higher resolution and there is no back library of HD content. A lot of people aren't going to be upgrading their TV and DVD player just so they can watch 300 with a sharper picture. |
I'm pretty sure that isn't true, as I think that many films have been recorded in HD for a long time. heck, there was even an HD version of betamax tapes! Reason for this being, is that the film industry knew that HD would come eventually, and I think that most cinemas have been displaying in HD for a considerable time. So there is plenty of HD content available, just hasn't been used in the home yet, so you'd probably be able to expect many films from the past 5/10 years or so, to be available in HD, within due course.

Hello Movies dont have to be recorded in HD for you to have HD content. 35mm is the standard for almost one century now and is good enough to be transfered in digital 1080p. So the back library is there, it is most of the movies ever made. The lowest resolution for movies projection is generally about 2K, 2048x1080 and it will be soon 4k, 4096x2160. Cinema is in HD for a long long time already. Bye. |
Ok, you're probably correct lol. I knew that cinema had been HD for a long time, didn't realise it had been that long! :)
