As crazy as it is I still buy VHS. (obviously if its a new movie ill either get dvd or blu ray) Even though I have an HDTV and a PS3 I continue to buy VHS Tapes. VHS tapes of older movies literally go for a penny on amazon. Eventually I'll upgrade to blurays completely but as of late I've been careless about quality but more concerned with just watching the films. Call me crazy...because i clearly am XD
Now me, I can really tell the difference between HD and SD, I went from using a 720p 23" Dell HD TV, to a crappy Sanyo 27" TV and holy shit it sucked trying to play my xbox 360 on it because the TV only did 480i
Now that I have a new Toshiba 32" inch 1080p LCD HDTV using HDMI for my 360 and future PS3 I can see a big difference, and after showing my parents this video and your other video Jon, now they can see the difference. Thank you for the videos, keep them up!
it sucks because games don't support standard definition anymore, my parents won't buy me an hdtv, and as far as I know I can't find a place that sells sd tvs besides on online websites, but after a while the tvs decay even more over time blurring it more.
I like those new DVD/Bluray players, you can play your normal DVDs and your Bluray discs on the same machine and record 1080p and 480p videos and TV shows onto a HDD or USB drive (if you have the right configuration and model).
I love HD videos, but in my option, if you a just watching a 1 min clip of your family I wouldn't record in HD because like Jon said, "it's a little bit tricky to edit then SD."
i could tell the difference between those two options (the this and this thing) because this video is only standard def 480p and that isnt HD but proper HD yea i can always tell the difference
I remember when digital HD public TV came, it when from spending every commercial break fixing the antennas to seeing every out of place hair and zit on the the weather lady's face.... :)
Some movies, like "who framed roger rabit" and some others, I can only watch on VHS. In a way, it's kind of like needing to listen to a song on vinle.
I will say, as a 17-year-old tech geek, there is a HUGE difference between 480p DVDs and 1080p Blu-ray Discs. Unfortunately, many people turn a blind eye to this, saying that they can't notice a difference. Bullshit. I recently made the shift to Blu-ray (very late, I know), and the difference in quality? Instantly noticeable.
Don't mock the blind they have a lot of trouble they have to tap the computer with a white stick and put comments in brail! NO OFFENSE IF YOU OR A RELATIVE IS BLIND I'M JUST MESSING AROUND HERE!!
Anyway, I do use 360P because of bandwidth limitations on youtube, and videos on my computer do not render at 24FPS at 720P, but for a TV, HD is great.
HD vs SD in Verbal Definition. Anyway, the main difference between HD and SD is you get a choice between juvenile american movies in standard definition or juvenile american movies in high definition...and listen to juvenile idiots like the above in between.
why does your SD camcorder have a green tint to it's color?
I know this is way off from the subject but in the side by side examination and your ipad 1 review I noticed the green tint most heavily and it started to bother me as I've recently gone back and started re-watching your old videos (which obviously are in SD)
back on topic: I can obviously see the difference... too bad I don't have a blu-ray player or an HDTV (other than the family TV, but still no blu-ray player)
@Jon you're right but in retrospect, if you haven't had anybody actually explain to you that Blu-Ray and HD is the same, it may sound a bit different, don't be rude, but yes they are the same thing. (Love your videos though)
i don't really care either way, if it isn't broken don't fix it. my DVDs and TV are fine for me, i don't give a crap if HD or Bluray gives you more special features of better sound quality. it's basically a waste of money if you already have DVD, puls, Bluray discs costs almost twice as much as a regular DVD.
@nikko623 "p" stands for "progressive", as in the video is scanned in line by line. "i" stands for "interlaced", as in the video has two images (one containing even-numbered lines, one containing odd-numbered lines). Your TV puts the two images together to create the full video. All video on computer monitors today are progressive, which is the reason YouTube has "480p" and sometimes "1080p", not their interlaced counterparts.
@Jon i know and acctually its my internet prowider too i think. but 720p still works ok if i let it load for a bit...
evrything on my comp takes time i bet ud prolly throw my comp out of the window faster than a speeding bullet if u were to edit an episode of whatever om my comp xD
ur channel is nice. please tell me how can upload high definition video like BluRay when i upload the video it quality is very poor. so can u tell me how can i maintain my vidio quality like BluRay.
i guess the main reasons why people don't see a difference, is because1. most content isn't in HD yet, it's just widescreen and 2. unless you get a HD version and an SD version and you are watching on a HDTV (yep, thats the catch, you need a HDTV to watch proper HD content, it doesn't count if you buy a blu-ray player, HD tuner and you connect it up to an SDTV because then your content is limited to fit to the TV settings) you won't be able to see the difference
@originalLDS1992 , and also some manufacturers sometimes do a piss poor job with the panels that they make them look really bad and also, especially with the bigger panels (+40") the do a shit job at scaling. about 32" to 40" is best for HD content. but make sure the content is HD for it to show it's best quality. but the main reason i won't switch to HD for movies and tv shows is because they make the content look really bad and in some cases give it more of a handheld cam look.
@originalLDS1992 i thought the whole point of HD was to have a better quality image, and not to have weird frame rate issues. but that's just what i think about HD
i don't doubt the recording may be good, it's the playback where everything gets screwed up. i noticed on my brother's 46" lcd with an lg panel with 100Hz motion stuff, and also on a 50" panasonic plasma, that any format of video, whether it be hd, sd, dvd or blu ray that it made the video seem amateurish, they looked and felt really bad. it was just jittery . if you've ever seen the chase scenes from need for speed most wanted, it felt like that.
@originalLDS1992 the only thing i've found that works well are games, especially racing games. but don't try to compare a cinemas experience to a home experience (unless you're comparing to a really crap cinema) thousands to millions of dollars are spent on making sure the image is perfect or as close to perfect as possible, how much does the average home cinema experience really cost, possibly no more than $3000 realistically, whether or not that includes movies is irrelevant.
i personally prefer a vhs over all else. i honestly dont care what quality the video is portrayed in, i just want to be able to see the video. for me, i prefer the vhs because it has a nostalgic sense to it, something that i value above all else.
i have avatar in dvd and blu ray its a super huge difference...its hard to explain but in blu ray there is no blurryness on the pixels its like you are looking outside a window in perfect quality
i need to have an sd tv to play video games. i just dont give enough of a shit about hd to sacrifice a second between hitting the button and the action happenning. it doesnt seem like a long time, but when playing a game, you want the action to happen when you hit the button. and, my friend has the whole hd setup, it just comes off as annoying, its way too loud. i dont want to be in the movie, i want to watch it
FUCK UP. REAT US WITH CARE, I KNOW THAT THERE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENCE BUT NOT BIG. I HAVE AN HD CAMERA AND I KNOW IT BETTER THAN YOU. I AM NOT DUMB BLIND OR DEAFH, DO NOT SAY THAT YOU RETARD
@theblackwingedsoul god dammit, i am 12.5 years old, shut the fuck up, RIGHT NOW BEFORE I PUT YOU ON MY BAD LIST AND BLOCK YOU!!! WHAT THE HELL HAVE I EVER DONE TO YOU
we have HDTVs in our house, all of them are Full HD. I just wanna ask what's the difference of our TV compared to the ones I saw in a local electronics store that says HD Ready?
wait. What is the difference? The difference i can see through those two pictures is a picture with a grey background and writing of "Standard Definition" and a picture with a green background and writing of "High definition" and the SD title is centered and the HD title is at the top and HD is bigger WTF i must be blind
@Jon yeah i know the actual difference. one looks more blured and stuff,I've got a mix of SD and HD and woah they look different, but those two pictures with the green and grey, they had no difference.
I was skeptical about a HDTV. I had a SDTV and as long as it was working, all was good. Then my SDTV went out so it put me in a situation to look at HDTV's. I finally bought a 32' Samsung LCD HDTV. And I couldn't believe what I was missing!
Watching a DVD through my PS3 on my HDTV, I see why people say they see no difference. I feel the same way. Then I watched a movie on Blu Ray and I was wrong again. Big difference.
if you have an SD TV can't you still watch HD content on it? because HD is technically just resolution, anything = to or higher than 1080x720 so if your TV downscales that to fit, it would look even more crisp right? because computers do that. Or are TV's different and can't downscale?
Jon I think it depends on the size of the TV, I have a 32' TV and you can eaily tell the difference between HD and SD(the TV is an HD TV) and I have a 52' HD TV and you can't tell a difference other then the DVD player displays in a green shade because I never changed the settings to default:P...
@Jon If you look at my 52" TV and you look at the 32" TV on the 52" TV you can see the pixels at a closer distance then the 32" TV. if you look from 4-5 inches away you can tell the difference, But the comparison isnt really fair because ones LCD and the other is plasma.
How is it stupid cos some people think that 5.1 is amazing and end up spending money on a set of 5.1 speakers thats are not great quality but with the same money you could get some nice hi fi speakers
@andrewdavies4 Unless the people are honestly stupid enough to spend less than $400 on a surround system then yes. But those people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference any way :P
Hi Jon. I completely understand your explaining the difference between HD and SD. However, would you be able to give some insight on why there has been such a difference in the quality of my videos I've uploaded to Youtube? My first videos done in SD are perfectly clear. However, when I got a new HD camera and uploaded a video from it, the video on Youtube had less clarity sharpness. Also would the difference in formats matter? The SD was uploaded as a .WMV. The HD was uploaded as a .MPG. Thanks
I mean in the space of 10-12 years we've gone from VHS-DVD-upscaled DVD-HD and now 3D ! Boy, would I love to have a pick of that money tree that these companies seem to think we have, I've got nearly 1000 dvd's - how am I meant to upgrade to HD let alone 3D? Win the lottery ?
I have a BR and a good 1080p upscaler and although there is a discernible improvement in PQ I don't think it's worth the money upgrading to HD in general except for maybe my most favourite films, bluray for now in the UK at least is still too damn expensive. The problem is these consumer giants want everyone to follow the upgrade path and spend the big bucks folks just don't have.
on the TV it is a difference if u look from like 1-3 feet but at a distance there's a MINOR difference.you can stick to a dvd because they are cheaper and still look good
SD tvs are really old to enjoy films, mine is from 3 years ago and it suports up to HD Ready (720p) the old HD, and is not as well as FullHD(1080p) but is really better than SD Tvs, I don't see DVDs on it, and I don't have BR, so I uses HDMI and my laptop.
If you pay by a film better in BlueRay. VHS is as DVD as DVD is as BlueRay, really improves quality and resolution.
jon ill almit i was on that mind set tht i didnt see a dif while my family was on the corect mind set in which hd is much better and uve insired me to look into it and notice the diference in hd and im not going back
the difference DOESNT MATTER. i DONT see the difference. im not going to pay double for something that takes ages to load and there be no difference. stuff it. the only way BD are going to win me over is BD3D. otherwise DVDS are better! theyre faster, cheaper, simpler, end of story.
I can tell a huge different my TV is my room = shiity TV in living room = awesome I watched the National College Championship game in HD and it was 10000000x better than SD
A problem with your prices in the first minute. I got my 37" HDTV for $500, bluray player on sale for $75, and surround sound system on craigslist (works great) for $50
Jon, what if you have a SD television, on which you play DVD movies, in my opinion, DVD on SD TV looks just a good as BD. (for those idiots, BD is short for Blu-ray disc)
I am not in the market for another TV, and do not plan to be so anytime soon, I have some SD TV'S that are about a decade old, and they work just fine. the only reason why I think you are pushing blu-ray so much is because SD television are not even being made.
Just an observation, you used the acronym BD once, and proceeded to undermine the reader's intelligence by using more characters than it would have taken to just say "Blu-Ray" (which you say again near the end of your message)
On another note, I also love the games of Zelda :D If that is where your name stems from.
SD YouTube is faster on my iPod which I can't change the quality on unless I use hacks

muzz3256 10 months ago
wait. What is the difference? The difference i can see through those two pictures is a picture with a grey background and writing of "Standard Definition" and a picture with a green background and writing of "High definition" and the SD title is centered and the HD title is at the top and HD is bigger WTF i must be blind

I was skeptical about a HDTV. I had a SDTV and as long as it was working, all was good. Then my SDTV went out so it put me in a situation to look at HDTV's. I finally bought a 32' Samsung LCD HDTV. And I couldn't believe what I was missing!
Watching a DVD through my PS3 on my HDTV, I see why people say they see no difference. I feel the same way. Then I watched a movie on Blu Ray and I was wrong again. Big difference.
I agree with you Jon.Thumbs up!

if you have an SD TV can't you still watch HD content on it? because HD is technically just resolution, anything = to or higher than 1080x720 so if your TV downscales that to fit, it would look even more crisp right? because computers do that. Or are TV's different and can't downscale?

Jon I think it depends on the size of the TV, I have a 32' TV and you can eaily tell the difference between HD and SD(the TV is an HD TV) and I have a 52' HD TV and you can't tell a difference other then the DVD player displays in a green shade because I never changed the settings to default:P...

@w1ldyovvnz - What you're saying doesn't make much sense.
Trust me, I can tell the difference between SD and HD anywhere. It is very obvious.

@Jon If you look at my 52" TV and you look at the 32" TV on the 52" TV you can see the pixels at a closer distance then the 32" TV. if you look from 4-5 inches away you can tell the difference, But the comparison isnt really fair because ones LCD and the other is plasma.

you don't NEED 5.1
Yes its cool but 2 hi fi speakers would sound better than some shitty creative 5.1 set
andrewdavies4 11 months ago
@andrewdavies4 - No... but a good 5.1 set is unarguably better than 2.1

@Jon He actually said two speakers, meaning 2.0, meaning no sub. It destroys his argument.

If you have a good pair of speakers and a shit 5.1 system the 2 speakers would be better

Thats what I was saying in the first case which makes your argument pointless.
andrewdavies4 10 months ago
@andrewdavies4 My argument of shit 5.1 vs Hi Fi 2.0 yes.
My argument of you going out of your way to say that being stupid still is though.
TheTigerStrike 10 months ago
@TheTigerStrike
How is it stupid cos some people think that 5.1 is amazing and end up spending money on a set of 5.1 speakers thats are not great quality but with the same money you could get some nice hi fi speakers
andrewdavies4 10 months ago
@andrewdavies4 Unless the people are honestly stupid enough to spend less than $400 on a surround system then yes. But those people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference any way :P

Hi Jon. I completely understand your explaining the difference between HD and SD. However, would you be able to give some insight on why there has been such a difference in the quality of my videos I've uploaded to Youtube? My first videos done in SD are perfectly clear. However, when I got a new HD camera and uploaded a video from it, the video on Youtube had less clarity sharpness. Also would the difference in formats matter? The SD was uploaded as a .WMV. The HD was uploaded as a .MPG. Thanks

I mean in the space of 10-12 years we've gone from VHS-DVD-upscaled DVD-HD and now 3D ! Boy, would I love to have a pick of that money tree that these companies seem to think we have, I've got nearly 1000 dvd's - how am I meant to upgrade to HD let alone 3D? Win the lottery ?
eridgeboy 1 year ago
I have a BR and a good 1080p upscaler and although there is a discernible improvement in PQ I don't think it's worth the money upgrading to HD in general except for maybe my most favourite films, bluray for now in the UK at least is still too damn expensive. The problem is these consumer giants want everyone to follow the upgrade path and spend the big bucks folks just don't have.

SD tvs are really old to enjoy films, mine is from 3 years ago and it suports up to HD Ready (720p) the old HD, and is not as well as FullHD(1080p) but is really better than SD Tvs, I don't see DVDs on it, and I don't have BR, so I uses HDMI and my laptop.
If you pay by a film better in BlueRay. VHS is as DVD as DVD is as BlueRay, really improves quality and resolution.

Jon, what if you have a SD television, on which you play DVD movies, in my opinion, DVD on SD TV looks just a good as BD. (for those idiots, BD is short for Blu-ray disc)
I am not in the market for another TV, and do not plan to be so anytime soon, I have some SD TV'S that are about a decade old, and they work just fine. the only reason why I think you are pushing blu-ray so much is because SD television are not even being made.

@Zeldagigafan90210
Just an observation, you used the acronym BD once, and proceeded to undermine the reader's intelligence by using more characters than it would have taken to just say "Blu-Ray" (which you say again near the end of your message)
On another note, I also love the games of Zelda :D If that is where your name stems from.
