30GB is not enough capacity for HD-DVD. For one thing HD-DVD camp is working on a triple layer 45GB or 51GB disc since they realize they need higher capacity. As an owner of the D-theater D-VHS system I have seen prerecorded 1080I movies with 1.54MB per second DTS sound tracks that use 50GB just for the movie with no extras. I know the D-VHS format only was supported by 4 studios with around 100 titles before dieing off. My point is D-VHS looks great using a 50GB tape encoded with MPEG-2 at up to 28.8MB per second. There was no room for extras using 50GB with MPEG-2 on D-VHS to maintain a Super bit HDTV quality. Now the Blu-ray camp made some bad decisions in the early days which have been corrected now. The first Blu-ray player was a Samsung that had a poor picture quality compared to the HD-DVD format and other Blu-ray players. Then the studios did something total stupid they released 25GB movies using MPEG-2 on Blu-ray. They should have used VC-1 or MPEG-4 on Blu-ray like HD-DVD does. In the early days this gave Blu-ray a black eye. Now many 50GB movies are being released.
Technically to have as good as picture as D-VHS movies one either needs a 50GB disc using MPEG-2 with no extras or one needs to use a MPEG-4 or VC1 with a HD-DVD 30GB or Blu-ray 50GB disc. I would like to see super bit HDTV movies. Studios can always place the extra stuff on a second Blu-ray discs and maximize the 50GB disc for picture and sound quality. The smart move is for all studios to move away from MPEG-2 and use either VC1 or MPEG-4 for all movies regardless of the size of the disc. With possible 100GB and 200GB disc using MPEG-4 or VC-1 the movie could look very close to the studio master using a super high bit rate approaching 40MB per second for video. Right now 1080P is the highest standard HDTV for consumer electronics for the next 5-10 years. Possible in 5-10 years consumer 2K and 4K projectors will be available with resolutions much better then 1080P. Then having large 200GB Blu-ray discs with VC-1 or MPEG-4 will be important feature. |
