HD Distro: Disc vs Broadcast

human · Post by **human** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 4:10 pm

For your general information, here is today's comment from "One to One," a promotional mail sent on behalf of DVD manufacturers:

...if we thought it is taking a long time and a huge amount of effort to get BD/HD DVD off the ground, it really seems quite easy compared to the pain and suffering that broadcasters are going through...

...with BD and HD DVD we have an unrestricted streams of 36Mb/s to over 50Mb/s, broadcasters are limited to a third of that at best. End result? As HD broadcasting rolls out with high compression ratios and material sourced at 720i instead of 1080p, consumers will soon find out that it does look better on disc, in fact a great deal better...

Note that I don't know whether Frost is right, but I find it interesting.

This just in:

"Amazon-Microsoft Project Will Bring Influx of Indies Films to HD DVD"

... Amazon.com and Microsoft Corp. today announced the launching of the 1,000 HD DVD Indies Project, which will encourage independent filmmakers to submit their HD movie content for HD DVD authoring and distribution through manufacturing-on-demand technology of CustomFlix (part of an Amazon group of companies).

Why don't you crackerjack animators gang up and produce an HD DVD anthology of some of the great work [already] created in Anime Studio?

I'm not proud enough of any of my works to even think about converting to DVD to be honest.
