Interesting. But I am not sure if a movie company want to invest immediately in this new technology. Blu ray is just beginning to make an impact at home and thier technology have not reach its full potential yet. Remember dvd is still running strong after 10 years, but it has reach it maximum potential already. It will be awhile before we see this HVD reach the consumers market. By that time, I think I will be on the holodeck....

Can't wait to buy a $15,000 HVD player and start adding $180 movies to my collection.

I'll just type it up on my invisible typewriter. Fruitcake!!

However, holographic drives are projected to initially cost around US$15,000, and a single disc around US$120–180, although prices are expected to fall steadily.[4] The market for this format is not initially the common consumer, but enterprises with very large storage needs.
I doubt it will be anytime soon. Soooo, I'll enjoy my Blu-ray now...

Blu Ray will be around for a long time but if it gets wacked by something it will be this and not downloads. With a maximum storage of 3.9 Terabytes it will probably allow for uncompressed video, as well as uncompressed audio. With HVD it will be like going to the local cinema in terms of potential quality, although only a small number would actually be able to take advantage of the quality do to the financial resources you would have to invest in a home theater to get the actual quality availible on the discs.


Oh god should I stop buying Blu Rays now so I can start on my HVD collection. If by chance HVD becomes available to the average consumer I will be so damn old I will have coke bottle glasses and will have my hearing aid turned up to 11. For the next 15-20 years or so I will be blissfully enjoying my Blu Ray's!

Good New Car > HVD Player

My initial response to that price tag on the Wiki page was; "God Damn!" That's a lot.

To double dip a Blu Ray for another format would be totally insane. The PQ on a BR is already the PQ we want. This format is so out there not many wants to double dip HD with just a "little" better picture.

This HVD thing sounds excellent. I can't wait to get a player and hook it up to my "too expensive to even guess the price" Quad HDTV.

The free market has a hand here too... this product would never sell to mass market at the prices it'd need to be to be profitable.

I really don't see this being feasible for anything beyond archival purposes.

well sure, if it is more accurate, affordable and simpler than the current digital cinema masters that would be a great use for it... but there's always gonna be something charming about dust and the judder of film from a film projector
