Well, that's really the only stuff that counts, right?
Not "European stuff" either.
Daddy,
BD is made to watch on a large screen with a nice sound system. PQ is only half of what BD offers. AQ is the other part of the equation and is equally as important as the PQ.
Good post. Yes, AQ from the blu-ray is very good. Don't they call it high definition audio? But even without it you can get good sound out of good speaker system, like off 1080i files. The audio bit rate is around 256kbps or higher IIRC.
It wasn't intended to watch on a PC.
You mean the PC blu-ray drive?
So you mean watch off the standalone external blu-ray player?? I heard horrid stories of having users to download firmware to get certain blu-ray movies to play or work right. This updates and firmware crap must put to end.... it's ridiculous.
If you are concerned about "updates," get a PS3. It will update the player automatically, so every time you insert a BD, you are 99.99% guaranteed that it will play flawlessly.
Thanks for the heads up, but I don't play PS3 games or any other console games. I am grown up adult. No I don't play computer games either.
And quit with this uncompressed MPEG2 files BS. It is not a standard available to consumers, so quit pretending it's an option.
It's not a BS. It's real, and we use them everyday. This is original broadcast 1080i recording from top-end HD stationary cameras, not a handheld cameras you like using. The resulting PQ is a blast, right there with descent class blu-ray titles, and close to to reference quality blu-ray titles. Just because you can't get access to the stuff I shouldn't call BS.
ESPECIALLY if you can't even watch American movies.
You made a mistake in your sentence. It's not "can't". It's "
don't". Huge difference.D:
So what are your options, some "foreign" (non-American) movie OR some shitty DVD? Wow, fantastic. Those sound like horrible options.
I rarely watch movies. I might watch one in a month or two. That's 6- 12 times a year. No, this is not an exaggeration. It's accurate. I watch TV dramas and music performance.
The facts are, BD IS the highest quality consumer standard for movies available today. If uncompressed 8K transfers become available in the future, I'll pick that up too. But for now, BD is it. And none of your little 2 man protests (you and your dad) will change that. The only thing you're doing is denying yourself some fantastic experiences with BD movies.
Yes, I know BD is still superior overall. I didn't say the format is inferior. It's the recording skills / technique from the camera crew and management. And of course the performance of the HD camera. You want a $100 handheld HD camera or a $150,000 stationary camera?
Oh, and BD is alive and well. Sorry.
Too much hassle with Blu-ray. No thank you.
Hmmm.... He has to be trolling us.
My cousin, I'm not trolling. I clearly stated reasons why blu-ray is no good.
