I don't think BD is going to overtake DVD for a while. |

Blu-ray is a new step in quality, but it needs to have a rather large HD screen to see the difference with DVD, specially if the DVD player allows a good upscaling. If your screen is smaller than 32', it is hard to see the difference between a Blu-ray and an upscaled DVD. With a more than 44' HD screen, the blu-ray is really a great experience. But many people have not yet very big screens, and do not see a real difference.
I want just add one thing: It's not just the size of the screen. It's the screen size with the watching distance. That's a very, very true fact that most people don't realize. A 70" set isn't all that impressive if you're sitting 15'-20' away. You'd actually see more detail on a 30" set from 5' away. They both have the same number of pixels after all. It's not like larger sets show more detail. You just see more on a larger set if it's the same distance from a smaller set. Viewing distance is the key factor here, not the size of the set. Or to put it another way, check out the following viewing distance chart. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

That's a very, very true fact that most people don't realize. I disagree with that. Even if you are the nose touching your screen, if the pixels are smaller (which is the case with a 30" TV), it is more difficult to see the difference between an "original" pixel (original image 1920x1080) and a "generated" pixel (original image 720x576 upscaled to 1920x1080), specially when you have a succession of images (movie), and not a static image that you can examine as on a screen for computer. So, the smaller is your screen, the less you see the difference between an upscaled DVD and a blu-ray. I agree with you that for the same original images (1920x1080), the size of the screen is directly related to the distance for viewing experience. | | | | Images from movies | | | | Last edited: by surfeur51 |

It's not a quality issue, but rather a choice issue.
This is why I am not interested in the Blu-Ray format at all. 1 . I don't want to invest more than 1000$ for a new TV and audio system when I got a big TV screen for my last birthday, 2. the film available aren't my genre at all (just a fast look at my collection will show it), 3. I don't like the idea of overcleaning a film print (for me that remove the vibe of a movie), 4. as long as the independant label will continue to release the new stuff on dvd I don't see the interest. Like said in the quote it's a matter of personal choice and interest for me. Maybe the image is better, maybe the sound is better but for me it isn't an issue. I just don't care to watch a better version (or just watch) something like Avatar or Harry Potter or anything like that... | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |

(just a fast look at my collection will show it) I'd love to take a look, but there's no link to it...  EDIT: Found it regardless. Yours is indeed not your average type of collection.  Nevertheless, there are some releases in there which have good Blu-ray counterparts. I do understand your line of reasoning though. | | | | Last edited: by dee1959jay |

Hi Jimmy.,, Hey is Blu ray Technology available for a lot of, or just some of,, or none of Adult titles ...? I read some days ago, there's a big adult BR market, but I don't think the mostly older movies, No Name likes, will be on blu. |

Hi Jimmy.,, Hey is Blu ray Technology available for a lot of, or just some of,, or none of Adult titles ...? The new ones are available on Blu-Ray, but I only like the real movies (the 1972-1989 era with some exceptions). I know that Video-X-Pix currently do high definition remaster for most of their films, but the only one who will be available on BR soon is Deep Inside Little Oral Annie and my dvd is more than enough since it's not really my type of film (this is more a loops carrier than a movie). | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |
