Re: Format War

I'm guessing Blu-Ray, but it all depends on what format the porn industry will use.

Blue-ray .... those fast moving high detail closeups need high bitrate and lots of storage capacity!

HD-DVD just can't compete .....

Who knows ... maybe the expandability & extra capacity of blueray will spark a 3D video revolution

Admitting that you've illegally downloaded movies/songs and need help to process/burn is comparable to robbing a bank, and walking into the bank the next day holding the bags of money to deposit them into your account.
Don't be surprised if people laugh at you when you make the headlines.

Porn doesnt sell by quality, it sells by the pricetag. Blu-ray doesnt look likely to compete in that sense.

Re: Format War

One thing's for sure...I'm not buying any of this new crap until they get everything sorted out. I never want to be saddled with another Betamax (although, technically, Betamax gave a superior picture) and I'm sick and tired of the electronics giants acting like spoiled brats with our money!

Re: Format War

I'm grabbing a blu-ray burner, as soon as they become reasonably affordable
Aka under $200

I refuse to buy HD-DVD .. 15GB's is a pi$$-poor excuse for an improvement in storage capacity, it's only approx double DVD capacity!

Lets see..
1.44MB->100MB zip->650/700MB CD->4.5GB/8.5GB ->HD-DVD / Bluray
-> 70x -> 7x -> 7x -> 2x / 5x

HD's double their capacity every 24 months & DVD's were common 6 years ago! That corresponds to a capacity exceeding 36GB's.
Even blu-ray is a bit of a cop-out, but at least it makes a pretense of increasing storage capacity (with additional layers).

HD-DVD is an obsolete (and inferior) technology before it's even released.
I hope people understand this before flocking out to buy a mass-produced inferior technology that has deliberately flooded the market, again.

I would have to disagree. High quality, high resolution porn is just as important as the sheer volume of porn you have. While not all your porn need be the higest quality (you do have to keep quantities high), some should be the best quality possible.
(notice what you get if you take quan off the above word ).

Re: Format War

Make fun of it all you want, but the porn industry killed BetaMax and made VHS popular. I wouldn't be surprised if the same would happen in the new format wars.

Re: Format War

I'm not making fun of it at all, I have a lot of porn (and actually have one dvd backed up onto a verbatim dl disk (just one lol, on dual layer anyway). I always like the coment on the tv show scrubs, if they outlawed porn on the internet, there would only be one website left, and it would be named, bring back the porn!!!!! If enough consumers want porn, it could very well effect new formats, and as we all know, enough consumers want porn!!!!!

Fyi Mr. Belvedere, since you like doing polls, maybe we should have a poll. Do you just coment on porn in a living room thread to be funny, or do you actually have porn? A little, medium, a lot, or you are a sick bastard like ripit and have gigs of porn!!!!!!!!

Anyone with less than 30GB of porn on their computer is sick!

@Mr. Belvedere, didn't take it personal at all, bey heck, its porn, you always gotta defend the importance of all porn, including high resolution porn!!!

I couldn't agree more (if you only have a 40 gig hard drive, lol).

Re: Format War

I'm sick, call a doctor

I think the format which is first to be hacked and allow backups to be made, will be the winner.

Re: Format War

Sorry about that, females are of course given a slight reduction, since well, they're not as gullible as us blokes. I reduce your sick-factor to 15GB

And yes, when it comes to our favourites, HD-DVD-R/BD-R (???) we can be quite sure that the format giving us consumers the best options will be victorious.
