BTW, it just occurred to me about what material to release. Since sports and nature documentaries get the most HD ratings, more of those should be released. Planet Earth has some of the best legs in either format, so it shows there is a market for these in HD.

Anything that is visually appealing, really. The Lord of the Rings? Star Wars? Hell yes. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail? Um...what's the point?


It's not quite anything that is visually appealing. Nature shows and sports can be filmes specifically for HD, while films can't, not yet. So no, those films are not likely to push their sales in HD based on visual appeal alone.


All films are filmed in analog, and .35nm film has a theoretical pixel count in the millions, if it were to be scanned and converted into digital. Most films are filmed in much much higher than HD.

 


Visually appealing is an artistic term. You can't just switch to pixel count, since even films that look like crap have that.


In regards to your sig: it only seems like all of the assholes are lining up behind Blu Ray right now because Blu Ray appears to be winning. I can recall about a year ago when you heard nothing from the HD DVD supporters but "LOLZ BLU RAY R SONY FAGZ" and yet another final nail in the Blu Ray coffin. Now these same people who were gloating(not pointing at you, as I don't recall seeing a single post like that from you) are bitter because they're having to taste the same medicine they were dishing out last year. I personally will not gloat, but fuck those guys. They're getting what they had coming.

Yeah, I remember all the HD fanboys back in Nov/Dec of 2006.  First it was, "the ps3 won't change anything."  Then it was, "It's only temporary.  Ps3 owners are cashing in their free coupons.  The bubble will burst soon," 

Then later in the year, "studios don't care about toal sales.  Attach rates are where it's at." and "studios don't want to rely on gamers."
