Would you upgrade to HVD if it were blu-ray compatible? - Blu-ray Forum

Please vote in the poll. The future of hi-def media may depend on it!

HVD is Holographic Versitile Disc and holds a reported 3.9 Terabytes of data on a standard size disc. That kind of storage technology is hard to ignore with talk of 1600p and 4k resolution TV monitors. Not to mention the newer DisplayPort spec.

Don't get too excited yet as the technology is still not fully developed. I do not work for any blu-ray related company. I just find this to be interesting market research.

Personally, if blu-ray ever gave way to HVD I would gladly switch as long as it was backwards compatible. Blu-ray is so good I doubt I would have to double dip on most of the movies. No harm, no foul. Right?

When this technology is as viable and accessible for public consumption as HDTV and Blu Ray is now, then Blu Ray will be as relevant to me as DVD is now.

If I stopped moving with technology at what I thought was the best and brightest at the time, I'd still be listening to music via a boombox.

Honestly, I think BD is enough as far as resolution goes. However who knows what technology may bring...
I would be willing to upgrade as long as it supported BD and DVD as well. Also, as long as it was priced right and was not too difficult to upgrade to.

I voted yes, but it is with a caveat. They would have to have a commensurate increase in the transfer rate as well. I "assumed" they would so I voted positive for HVD. How else am I going to truly appreciate my paint on, wall sized, OLED tv? I don't have one now, but we're talking about the future!

BD players/drives have two lasers now, would this mean drives would need a third laser?

Would need 4. If I understand it correctly as I quickly went over the material, one laser reads, the other acts as a guide to keep it on track. I believe the read laser for HVD is green so forget combining them into one to support BD and HVD.

in less I won the a $100,000,000 lottery there would be no point because I can't even buy expensive enough equipment to get the best out of Blu Ray.

Getting Best out of Blu Ray

Front Projector 1920*1080
