In Reply to: RE: new to forum, what's up? posted by racerguy on December 06, 2007 at 10:33:10
My name is Ole Lund Christensen, not Christiansen
When I post a link, even without any comments from me, the attacks starts from all the hidden HD DVD fanboys here.
They rarely present new links or facts, and they get very emotional and use strong language.
Do also notice that I use my real name, in the tradition of the Danish Knight Holger Danske, who fought with an open helmet, without hiding his face. See link.
So if you look around, you will find me as the designer of the PUK recording studio and its 10.000 W monitor system with 4x30". It was used by George Michael and Elton John for their best selling recordings.
I also designed the GamuT D 200 amplifiers, which HP and Valin praised in TAS. And Professor in Mathematics at UCLA, Robert E. Greene in TAS 124 called my work "Exploring the Boundaries of the Possible"
Therefore I am happy to have much better mealtickets than promoting Blu Ray, I am one of the highest paid loudspeaker engineers in Europe, and my clients pay luxery hotels for me.
But as I have written several times, simply do NOT read my posts, if you do not like them.
But if you want to read links about Blu Ray, and make your own judgement, then just read my posts.
Follow Ups:
especially the work on behalf of tsunami victims. So why make yourself the Zekyl here??
Examine your motives: just like when you realized about the power cords making a difference, is there any chance you are making an ass of yourself? We have word for it, haughty. If you don't have a dog in this race, why must you post every "My side is winning!"? Why would you be happy if people here bought equipment that ends up useless and worthless, what do you get out of that? Vindication? Do you need that?
HINT: When Jazz Inmate eggs you on, it's time to pull the plug.
Neither side will win, both are already withering. But I will take no joy from seeing mediocrity in video succeed like it did in audio.
Dear Duilawyer,
thank you very much for the time you spent on this post. I do appreciate it.
Clearly my enthusiasm for Blu Ray and its progress in the market must have given you and others here a different impression, than I intended.
I will try to improve my posts.
I have no wish to hurt people, who have bought HD DVD movies and players,
indeed my intention is to do the same, when I can find a good deal.
The cheapest in Denmark is USD 559.80 with 5 movies.
It will not end up useless and worthless, because the movies can play for many years. (and the player plays normal DVDs) Indeed I suspect some HD DVD discs will become collector’s items and rise in value, because they will not be reissued due to low sales. Like concerts of music.
The reason I promote Blu Ray so intensely, is that I also take no joy from seeing inferior formats succeed. I want my HD sound and picture, and I believe Blu Ray is my best chance. I will not get one more chance, it is now or never.
Yes, downloads of video will improve, but the best experts in that field tell me, that it will take 7 to 10 years to extend the fast HD infrastructure to enough people. And many places will never get it.
I am 54 years old, so I want HD now! So you can see my motives are purely selfish in this case:-)
Please tell me, who is Zekyl?
Best wishes and thank you again
Ole
It was not intentional. If it was intentional, I would have called you Ole Lund Cheerleader, which is more fitting :-)

See, this is the crux of the issue. You have a clearly-demonstrated bias, and an obvious agenda. You post a lot of data to support your agenda, and much of it is very biased. Given your bias and agenda, you don't have to post any comments for people to know that you are cheerleading.
To further cause issues, you accuse anyone who does not agree with your agenda or care for the biased way in which you promote it, of being a "hidden HD DVD fanboy." That's the trouble with you fanboys - you get so blinded by your biases that you think everyone else is equally as biased as you.
> > Do also notice that I use my real name, in the tradition of the Danish Knight Holger Danske < <
Actually, I don't really care what you call yourself. If we were engaged in a business transaction, your real name would matter to me. Here, it really doesn't matter.
> > Therefore I am happy to have much better mealtickets than promoting Blu Ray, I am one of the highest paid loudspeaker engineers in Europe, and my clients pay luxery hotels for me. < <
Gee, I'm just soooo happy for you. I'm one of the highest paid business/technology consultants in my industry, and I stay in luxury hotels too :-) We're great people, you and I :-) However, unlike you I don't feel the need to parade my professional credentials to bolster my opinions.
> > simply do NOT read my posts, if you do not like them. < <
I'll offer you the same benefit - do not read my replies, if you do not like them.
> > See, this is the crux of the issue. You have a clearly-demonstrated bias, and an obvious agenda. < <
This is where you equal opportunity adopters lose your marbles. You mistake an informed decision to adopt the better format with "bias". Being open-minded doesn't mean that you forget about critical format specs like capacity, nor that you pretend it doesn't matter. That is not open minded. That is empty-headed. You masquerade your failure to understand the superiority of one format as being "unbiased" when in fact, by ignoring capacity you are showing much bias.
> > You post a lot of data to support your agenda, and much of it is very biased. < <
Much of it is sales figures that are verifiable and easy to prove wrong if incorrect. But the fact is they are correct.

a reasonable video bitrate.
You're the dude in the chair getting the chip implant, not me. I based my buying decision on attributes of the formats.

Jack informs.
What's the fascination with pretending two formats that differ by 20 gigs in their capacity are equal...and then pretending people who correctly identify the differences--including the higher sales of blu-ray--are "biased" or "gloating".
In forums where you're supposed to share and discuss information, the key is the information. As long as it's correct, that should be all that matters.

than the technical superiority of the format. I'm afraid Toshiba's strategy of cheap standalone players and the (badly needed from HD DVD'S POV) Paramount defection has leveled the playing field so-to-speak.
I'm a firm believer that HD DVD is crippling Universal/Warner/Paramount releases because of bandwidth/storage limitations (including Warner Blu-ray's because they are saving money using HD DVD-crippled encodes) but that argument doesn't mean anything to J6P with typically modest HT systems. > 95% of the people out there couldn't care less about lossless/uncompressed audio and high bitrate video encodes. In fact, i suspect they (and the studios) care more about special features which, unfortunately, is an area Blu-ray is still playing catchup on.
Only if Blu Ray wins will we get good sound from most movies. So staying neutral is wrong if you care about quality.
Every other bit of news would pale in comparison to Warner's making an announcement to go format-exclusive.
Attach rates ? Wal-mart sales?, Nielsen pie charts ? Australian sales, HD DVD in China ? Forget about it. what matters is studio support.
Warner can end the game, and they know it. Price?
either way.
Jack
Warner going HD DVD still maintains the stalemate.
Warner is the number 2 studio in BD, one title shy of Sony (94 Vs. 95). They are putting out 1/4 of the BDA's titles, much more than most. Add the fact that *if* they were to go HD DVD way (that's a big if), it would be the second major studio to defect. As you know, perception is everything.
Time will tell.
Jack
And virtually all their releases won't fit on a 30G disk without a re-encode process (in addition to the quality hit). It would be painful for those Studios to switch.
Security has been cracked on DVDs for some time now-yet I don't see them stopping production. And as stated before, 1/2 of their discs are BD-25s. They just won't be able to use MPEG-2. No loss there.
The truth is, regardless of what side the studios are on now, they will change if its in their best interests. Some will take longer. I think Disney was the last to adopt DVD-and I believe they were VHS exclusive for quite a while.
Jack

Blu-ray with his actions of propounding its sucesses and features here, showing he hs some stake in the matter.
Not the same.
That's why one fanboy like yourself cannot recognize another fanboy of the same product.
so long as it's got substance.

And no haughtiness.

thank you for your detailed response. I am unbiased in reading, I do read all posts:-)
You called Blu Ray my new mealticket. That implied I am payed to post these links, and that had to be corrected, so I provided information on my self to counter it.
You are still fighting with a closed helmet.
I think it is an honor to cheerlead for Blu Ray. It is the best system, and it is gaining ground every day and making profits by selling on quality.
Provided HD DVD soon stop, Blu Ray have a real chance of replacing DVD.
But HD DVD confuses many people, so they buy nothing.
Dual formats players or discs are expensive, so we better have a quick end to this format war.
People can read my links and make their own judgements on bias. They do NOT need all these added comments to make up their minds.
If Blu Ray did not excist, I would promote HD DVD. My real agenda is against DVD and its DD sound.
