| Turkish said: Yeah, Bluray has lots of shelf spaces, almost as much as dvd in some stores. I want bluray to do really well, the quality of bluray discs are amazing, so superior in comparison with a dvd.
@the guy claiming to have watched a bluray via Netflix. Did you stream a 45GB movie?? Most of the blurays are huge, between 35GB-45GB |
They're not quite that big, usually 20GB-30GB
Let's talk about bandwith here, blu-ray has a theoretical bandwith of 48 Mbps for a movie, but most are about 20-30 Mbps, and netflix HD says it requires 8 Mbps for HD, but they stated that 1080p HD uses 4.8 Mbps. That's an obvious difference right there. While the image may decompress to 1920x`1080, there are obvious distortions in my HD streams that shouldn't be there. Overall the quality is very good, but you can't control where there may be blips in the data speed. If you never watched a blu-ray movie, you probably wouldn't know there was a difference. However, not having to buy the movie or wait for it to show up in the mail is totally worth it for HD streaming :)
