What will come after Blu-ray? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

CasualKiller · 07-26-2009, 11:20 PM

With advances in Blu-ray discs being made that are increasing storage up to 200 gigs I don't think we'll be moving off of it anytime soon. With the extended storage capacities even the next high resolution formats should be able to fit on Blu-ray discs.

the simple answer is no one knows. Back when DVD came out, it was much easier to know what the future would hold. Companies where working on thinner data layers, they where working on blue lasers, HD was here and audio was way too lossy. Even then except for a new HD format everything else was murky. On the other hand, and this is why I think BD will be around a long time, there is no real research in any tech that appears even remotely feasible, there is no obvious directions for benefits that would need something better. Obviously you could say lossless video but that would need a hell of a lot more from the format and a bit less lossy is not a selling point, you could say real 3d but BD can handle it so why a new format, you could say higher resolution but how long before enough people have such SHD TVs....

As for DL, I don’t see it happening. It will be many many years before the internet has the BW for DL BD standard and any new standard needs to have advantages (i.e. beyond the previous one) so it would be many many more years after that for DL to be able to offer more then BD (TO the point of making it sellable), my guess studios/CEs will want to give us a reason to upgrade before such time.

HBD. Holographic Bluray Discs.

My guess is that we'll be forced to go back to VHS simply because they are more sturdy. I could drop kick a VHS movie, body-slam it, then punch it and it would still play back the movie.

I agree as well. I've already got so many movies in both DVD and blu-ray. Some even on VHS still. Need to clear out the way. I think it's safe to say that Blu-ray will be around for a long time. DVD will still be around for at least 5 more years.

I had my thread similar to this shut down...don't know why.

Anyways, there's no doubt in my mind, physical media is almost dead. 1080p will live on, but spinning disks are a waste of time.

Cassette's were replaced by Cds. Cd's are being replaced by data.

Same thing goes for DVD's and BDR. Just a matter of time.

Flash and solid state drives or variations there of are the future. They'll easily handle new media formats.

My guess is the resolution won't necessarily increase (there's only so much the human eye can discern), but instead we'll get uncompressed 1080p as well as newer and better 3D technologies.

As for the carrier, I think it will be physical.

As for blu-ray, I think it has the potential to have a longer run than DVD ... heck, blu-ray could potentially be the carrier for the next evolution. DVD had a maximum of two layers but blu-ray can potentially have more: 4,8, etc layers. This increases the available space and as such, I believe it at least has a chance of surviving longer than DVD (which by all means and purposes isn't dead yet, by the way).

Super Bluray will come next. There won't be a higher resolution THEN 1080p but there will most certainly be a higher resolution THAN 1080p, namely 2160p

i hope we still have optical discs even higher res.
because i read a dumb article in pcplus about life after blu-ray that everything would be online which a load of rubbish because not everyone has internet or want it
