Ive seen a HDTV rip of TTEE in 720p and it looks awesome and thats only 8GB. When they come out in a HD box set ill be buying them and a player. |
1080p has over twice the resolution of 720p, so it would take up at least twice the space. Also, as I stated earlier, my far stems from the fact that Universal had to cut lossless audio from King Kong because it wouldn't fit on a dual-layered disc. King Kong isn't as long as the LotR: EE, so they'll either be missing lossless audio as well, or else will be split up onto two discs per film.
As for tripled layered discs, the current drives used in HD DVD palyers can read any HD DVD discs with more than two layers. The same goes for all Blu-Ray players on the market. Those 200gb 8-layer discs won't see the light of day for a while, because nobody can play them.
