No more HD DVD!

[DAdams91982]

i'm just saying hard drive space is as cheap if not cheaper than buying blank hi capacity discs, and in a networked home, its more convenient

No doubt, like we said.. there are other factors than just HD space that keeps people like us from doing so.. plus portability.

err i have over 4 terrabytes of storage on my home network. backup my existing purchased discs once, watch whenever and whereever in the house I want to without having to hunt for the disc

You must have a very understanding wife. My wife constantly asks me why I would need 4 computers?. Also why I don't get rid of some my "computer junk"....

Right, it's more convenient to drag your HD over to your friends house when you want to watch a bootlegged copy of American Gangster.



I suppose it's more convenient if you don't have others to share your movies with.

Actually, I have an 80gb portable drive (powered by USB) that I use for that. given that we were talking hi def movies, most of them eat up 8~15 gb anyhow, I guess you guys use the dual layer dvds to record on? most movies would still need to be split for those

You are persistent, though beating a dead horse.

A DVD/HD-DVD is more convenient for portability than a HD, I think you can agree to that buddy.

Sorta. A blank hd-dvd or blueray is around $10, and not a whole lot of people have drives to read them. The dual layer regular dvds are better at 8.5gb or so for around $1.50 but still won't hold a whole hi def movie without splitting. Then again, most people don't have pcs hooked to their tvs so most of them can't play the hi def movies anyhow for regular movies I guess yeah, dvds work. I buy printables, and have a printer that prints directly on them

I'm speaking of movies in general. It is vastly more convenient to put a DVD, into a commonly owned DVD player, and sit around couches watching that, then what you are proposing.

Surely, even with your inability to admit you're wrong, you'll give in on this one!

never on regular movies sure, but this thread was about HD-DVD and high def movies. Convenience is nice, but frankly if I have the option to watch something in 1080p vs 480i, i'll take the high def version.
