In Reply to: RE: DVD is based on 60 yr old NTSC technology and lossy DD/DTS sound posted by Tom Brennan on February 2, 2009 at 08:41:08:
I bought a fine HD DVD player shortly before that became the wrong choice, and I own about 15 HD DVDs, all that I could think of wanting. Now I own a fine Blu-ray player,and I haven't found a single thing (yet) I want to buy that I don't own in the HD DVD format. Moreover, there are only a few films that I can find that I even want to rent. I'm sure I'm getting to be an old fogey, as I find that the vast majority of new films being released today hold little interest for me. They suffer from many faults: poor writing, silly plots, high dependance on action and stunts, overly loud and noisy sound for its own sake, etc.
But the picture quality in HD on my 58-inch plasma set is stunning, and the sound quality played through my system is better than any theater around. This is why I have invested in this technology. There are many fine older films now gradually coming out in BD. And opera on BD can be a vastly more enjoyable experience than it is just listening to audio recordings. So I have hopes that as many classic films and those that have special appeal to me become available plus opera discs become more numerous I will definitely get my money's worth out of this. I'm close already.
