Og her er der lidt tanker om lyden på de nye HD skiver:

Var i Fona på strøget i kbh i dag. Der har de en Sony Blueray afspiller stående!  (desværre kun til demonstration)

What! Den ville jeg gerne se!

Man skal åbenbart ikke regne med at kunne få analoge HD billeder, men det er nok et større problem i det store udland end det er i DK.

Priser på BD og HD DVD:
fra et forum:
http://www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6305651.html

New Releases: $34.95
Catalog Releases: $29.95

Edit: I just found out that HD-DVD Catalog Releases from Warner will also be priced at $29.95

Virker ikke som om at BD bliver meget dyrer som der har været meget snak om...

Sony first to set prices on Blu-ray Disc titles

Posted Feb 8th 2006 9:07AM by Thomas Ricker
Filed under: Home Entertainment
Sony is the first major studio to announce their pricing model for the upcoming release of their Blu-ray Disc titles. BD films fresh from the theaters should hit the shelves for $23.45 while catalog titles will drop for $17.95, wholesale. Yeah, that's a 15-20% premium over what new-release DVDs cost back at their '97 release but, according to Sony, it's meant to "accommodate the sell-through and rental markets" which DVDs initially avoided since the world was beset by video rentals at the time. But you won't see a Sony MSRP slapped to the back of their BDs. Instead they will allow retailers to set their own margin of profit (like Amazon who lists catalog BDs for $22.49) allowing for the invisible hand to sort it all out. Sony also plans to bundle in DVD and/or UMD formats (not for free, dig?) with some BD releases as a key component of their marketing strategy. While this allows you to watch your new flick on multiple devices, it doesn't mean they've given up on managed copy. That's something they (and a few notable others) are "still working on."

For dem der tænker på at bygge HTPC som kan køre BD / HD DVD

ATI and NVIDIA's "HDCP support" video cards don't support HDCP?

Posted Feb 13th 2006 11:03AM by Paul Miller
Filed under: Displays, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Media PCs
The FiringSquad has some disconcerting news for those of us hoping to wrangle our current desktops into Vista-ready, HD playback machines. Apparently all of those graphics cards we've been snapping up with "HDCP support" emblazoned on the box aren't quite what they claim to be. Instead of doing something logical, like, uh, supporting HDCP, turns out only the GPUs support HDCP, while the actual boards don't include the required hardware key to make the hi-def magic happen. NVIDIA isn't as much to blame, since they have published specs for HDCP compatible boards, and are holding up their end on the GPU front, but ATI doesn't look so good here due to the fact that they're currently cramming their own HDCP capable GPUs into boards that don't support the spec. If all this is to be believed, the only currently existing fully HDCP capable boards are a couple of GeForce 6200 and 6600 cards residing in Sony Media Center PCs, and the rest of us will have to wait for word on high to build boxes fully compatible with the Vista OS due next year. Let the lynch mob begin!
Nok nogle folk der er lidt utilfredse..

Det er der helt sikkert men hvis man har fuldt lidt med omkring de nye DVD'er og hele problematikken med HTPC'er så burde det ikke kommer bag på folk.

 

Faktisk lige et par billeder mere som jeg ikke har set før;



Og det her fra the bits:
Also today, there's some major HD format news. Ars Technica is reporting that the final spec for the Advanced Access Content System (AACS - due to be used on both HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc) has been delayed once more. The delay is expected to last at least a month, meaning that the March launch of HD-DVD will likely now have to be pushed back until April or May (about the same time that Blu-ray was expected to hit store shelves). This HD-DVD delays occurs despite the fact that the final haggling with regard to the AACS spec is strictly related to a dynamic Blu-ray encryption protocol called BD+, which would allow the BD Group to change the format's encryption scheme at any point down the line, if an earlier scheme should be cracked (thus preventing the crack from working on all BD format software). HD-DVD has to wait for the AACS spec to be finalized too, so you know the folks at Toshiba have to be pulling their hair out over this. Apparently, the various members of the AACS licensing authority couldn't agree on the final spec last week, thus causing the delay. Could the disagreement simply be a delaying tactic by the Blu-ray camp to wipe-out HD-DVD's anticipated first-to-market edge? Well... I certainly wouldn't put it past them. All's fair in love and format war, right? We'll keep our eye on this, rest assured.

Desuden forlyder det at både WB Syriana og Superman 14 disk box kommer på HD DVD samme dag. Mon det også betyder at de også komme på BD? De har jo sagt at de vil udgive alt på begge formater.

Bare sony snart kunne få smidt en PS3 afsted sådan at man kunne begynde at købe sine fremtidige titler i BD, sådan at man var klar
Andre der har det på samme måde?

Vil du bruge PS3 som afspiller?

Ja i starten vil jeg, indtil jeg fåe noget HD skærm / PJ så skal jeg selvfølgelig have noget bedre.

Et meget negativt punkt for Blue-ray er at Sony tager royality betaling for understøttelse af formatet. Dvs. at ingen kan lave en Blue-ray afspiller uden at betale licens penge til Sony for hver solgt afspiller.

HD DVD er derimod gratis at bruge, og alle multimedia maskiner kan frit inkludere formatet. Synd, men jeg tror HD DVD herved får et kæmpe forspring, og det kun fordi Sony er blevet for grådige.

Hmm det tror jeg ikke.  Ved DVD betaler man jo også royalties til sony / philips..
Hvorfor tror du HD DVD får et forspring? Prøv at se hvor mange elektronik firmaer der bakker op om BD kontra HD DVD.

Lige i øjeblikket ser man frontløberne inden for elektronik føle sig frem. Sony, Playstation og Blue-ray er der blevet skrevet og talt meget om. HD har været lidt i baggrunden. Der for er der pt. flest der støtter om dette format.

Men, hr. og fru. Hansen køber ikke en DVD afspiller til 6000 kr. De køber en til 1000 kr. Og for billigpriducenterne kommer på bane, skal overskudet maksimeres betydeligt. Det kan lettest lade sig gøre når ikke Sony skal have 5-10 % af afspillerens værdi i rouality.

Bare et skøn, og alt afhænger selvfølgelig af at der er "næsten" samme udvalg i film, i de enkelte formater.

Det er vel BDA der skal have de $30 i licens og ikke Sony. Der er licens på de fleste formater - vi hører bare ikke om dem. Så vidt jeg ved koster
HD DVD også $30 i licens, og DVD ligger omkring $10-$20 pr. afspiller.

BDA? Nææ, det er Sony consordiet der har lavet Blue-ray der skal have rouality betaling. Du ved, ligesom Microsoft for alle de kameraer og mp3 afspillere der bruger fat filsystemet (eller som de forsøger at opkræve).

Du kommer nok til at vente på den Playstation.

Den kommer tidligst til Europa i 2007

Men vi får se.

Jeg tror vi taler om det samme. BDA = Blu-ray Disc Association. Det er dem, der står bag Blu-ray, og Sony er kun ét af medlemmerne.
