javierg dijo:Al precio que siguen las pelis en este país es difícil que las cifras aumenten de manera significativa.
Parece un sinsentido que mi incipiente colección de pelis en BD sea en este momento de 55 a 2 a favor de la zona A, pero tiene mucho menos sentido que tenga que pagar de media, más del doble del precio que me han costado en Amazon si quiero ayudar a que se eleven las cifras de venta en Europa.
Un saludo, Javier G.
New Sharp AQUOS DVR with Blu-Ray and 1TB of HDD
Sharp will release in Japan in early July three new Blu-Ray DVR (Digital Video recorders)... The BD-HDW30 with 1TB of storage, the BD-HDW25 (500GB), and the BD-HDW22 (250GB).
All three DVRs record video in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, with three different BR (4.8, 8 and 12Mbps), have both digital and analog TV Tuners. They don't support AVCREC and you won’t be able to record HD video to DVD.
The perennial online-vs-physical delivery debate seems to have entered a more serene phase, owing principally to the recognition – by the online prophets – that packaged media is still an enormous business – $70 billion worldwide, servicing an installed base of 1.3 billion DVD playback devices – and that online digital delivery revenues are still minuscule. Screen Digest forecasts that they will account for just four per cent of movie spending in the US and Europe by 2012.
Sonic’s Taylor reckons that, while inexorably heading thist way, delivering high-definition content without physical media “might still be 20 years into the future.” There is not yet consumer-friendly methods of delivering quality content over the internet on a on-demand basis “unless you are not very demanding,” Taylor quips. Internet speed, price of blank BD disc, burning time, DRM constraints, cross-device standards, all conjure up to make a physical-free entertainment world far off the horizon.
Simon Calver, CEO of LoveFilm International, sounded a note of warning as he reminded delegates that "free is the price point people want to pay online" and stressed that in the intensely competitive digital delivery space heavyweight consumer brands will have a substantial advantage.
It is a time of experimentation. Recent moves to include 'digital copy' (also known as 'second session') electronic movie files on DVDs were welcomed as introducing traditional DVD buyers to an easy – and, crucially, legal - way to access digital content. The continuing fragmentation of the digital marketplace remains a barrier to progress, although the increasing willingness of the Hollywood studios to experiment with different business models is a positive development.
“BD will replace DVD. It will be the last mainstream physical delivery format,” forecasts Taylor.
Pepe dijo:Una curiosidad sobre el tema:
Científicos de la universidad de Swinburne, Australia, trabajan con nanotecnología para conseguir aumentar la capacidad de los CDs actuales hasta 20.000 veces la de los populares Blurays.
los nuevos CDs podrían llegar a almacenar un Petabyte en un solo disco, es decir 1.000 Terabytes, o lo que es lo mismo, un millón de Gigabytes. Semejante capacidad nos permitiría almacenar miles de horas de contenido en alta definición, teniendo en cuenta que la capacidad de un disco bluray es de “sólo” 50GB y eso ya nos permite grabar películas en full-HD con extras y sonido multicanal 7.1.
De momento no es una realidad, y la pregunta es si dejara de ser "ciencia ficcion"

RSendra dijo:¿A qué precio? ¿Comprarías tu una edición con toda la colección de ESDLA por 200 euros o más?
Hace años ya existia el FMD, a 1 TB... y se murió. Bonito como experimento... nada más.

Osaka, Japan - Panasonic, the leading brand by which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is known, has developed the world's first Blu-ray Disc (BD) player-specific single-chip signal processing LSI (product number: MN2WS006), in response to the latest BD standards*2. This LSI combines a front end to read the signal from the BD, and a back end to convert this into AV data. Samples of this LSI will begin shipping in June 2008.
By using this product, Panasonic will be able to realize smaller sizes and lower power consumption in BD players compatible with the latest BD standards*2.
This product features the following characteristics.
Complete support for the latest BD standards*2, and functions including dual-screen simultaneous video playback, high-quality audio playback, and network compatibility achieved on a single chip
Creation of a single chip for the signal processing system, through use of cutting-edge microprocessing, allows for 50% reduction in mounting surface area and 25% reduction in power consumption, compared to current Panasonic products
Application of the new-generation UniPhier®*3 platform developed originally by Panasonic enables customers to achieve higher-quality software improvement with shorter interval
This product has been created using the following technologies. (**: compared to current Panasonic products)
Multi-standard video decoding technology to enable video playback for BD, DVD, and CD media, and standards including MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 and VC-1; high-quality audio playback compatible with lossless coding; and dual-screen simultaneous video playback including high definition video, and a high-performance and high-speed graphics engine technology which enables not only 2D graphic processing but also 3D graphic processing or curved surface drawing
Unified memory architecture technology reducing about 45% of major semiconductor parts** (including external memories) together with integration of LSIs into a single chip using 45-nanometer process technology
New-generation UniPhier®*3 platform technology making it possible to reuse the 75% of software assets of BD recorder, and enabling us to improve our development efficiency by three times** as a result of concentrated development for function improvement only
Up to now, in order to construct BD players with conventional BD LSI, separate front end and back end LSI were required, in addition to seven external memory chips. Since the BD market is now expected to grow rapidly, it was necessary to rationalize the signal processing components in order to realize better functionality and appeal to the hot-selling zone of LSIs.
