michael bay on ms and their stance on HD disc formats
- Thread starter McBunny
- Start date
No
Digital downloads, how would i watch them through my TV? Spending no more than £150 on hardware?
nope

For what?
You can watch HD DVD on the XBox (with the player) or HD videos streamed from your computer or a network drive.
Whatever format wins downloading films will probably be the future. Hes probably just pissed that Transformers is on HD-DVD and he'll make less cash. Dreamworks were signed up to HD-DVD a long time before this film came out, maybe he should have checked that before agreeing to direct it.

21CN or ADSL2 won't be around nationally for another 5 years though McB, it needs HUGE investment and nobody wants to take it on.
On demand content (particularly HD) just doesn't work over ADSL, I think the prospect of waiting 24 hours for a movie, then have to foot the bill for additional bandwidth sucks. Be better off offering DIVX movies for £1.

yup i agree 21cn is scheduled for my village 2011
Don't think i'm understanding.
I don't have an Xbox so this is just what I know from my mate. His xbox connects to his TV via the VGA port on the back of his XBox, he doesn't have a HDMI port on the Xbox.. i think.
So surely there is a loss in quality when watching a HD video through the XBox?

"Does anyone out here want to challenge what I feel suits my films better in terms of look. I see every frame of my films over a hundred times before it is ever released. I know the lighting conditions I shot it and the result on the DI. I know the range. I know what the final product should look like - Blu Ray suits my films better. But that said - I don't a care about this format war because I have both formats in my screening room - I'm just filling you in on what people deep in the film industry feel ultimately is going on -
Transformers looks great even in DVD!!"
Thats michael bay again.
To be fair its his film why shouldnt it be released in blu-ray....blu-ray is the superior format, whatever fanboys might say

actually, no, its a paramount film which until august was Blu-ray so he was all set to release it on bluray which he thought was the better format.
Then late august paramount announced they had struck a deal to go HD-DVD and he was annoyed as he didn't want it released on what he thought was an inferior product. But then he found out about the web content on the HD-DVD and that the advanced features wouldn't be ready for bluray to support before it was released anyway so was then sort of happy etc.
The deal for Paramount going HD-DVD also had a clause in it though, that Spielberg films would be excluded from the deal so he still gets to choose!
in the early days HD-DVD was using the better codecs.
Plus HD-DVD is region free, thats a plus point!
DB is catching up now on extras with the release of BDJ.

Streaming is the way forward, I just think the price needs a re-adjustment.
I wont pay £8 for an album from iTunes when you can get it for £9ish from Tesco, then youve got the case/disc/covers and you can copy and do whatever you like with it.
But its taken over from CD's massively, films will be exactly the same once they sort out the bandwidth/downloading issues.

With slow motion, tints and non-sensical military radio chatter in teh background. I f**king hate Michael Bay. I mean, really really hate him.
Probably right. In the future we won't even have TV channels as we have now, more that channels buy the rights to show certain programs, then you will probably subscribe to a channel and can download content as it becomes available.
Internet speed will have to be faster though still, so it will be almost instant to view and episode of Eastenders or whatever.
I think its a great idea personally, saves tons of transport cost which is good for everyone and the environment. Way forward for sure. At the rate I am going, I will have so many physical CDs and DVDs and games by the time I am 50 I will need a warehouse to keep it in.
The other advantage is that you won't need to keep buying different players for everything, just one monolithic box which does everything, eventually even controlling your home, even remotely via the internet.
We are on the eve of Tomorrow's World.
