Echo Screen #3 : The Inevitability (or not) of Blu-Ray

This is an 11 minute sample of the full Clan of the Gray wolf videocast (edited to conform to YouTube standards). The Echo Screen is the official podcast of the Clan of the Gray Wolf.

We've all seen the buzz and heard the talking heads. Blu-ray is the heir to the throne of video and storage because of all of its amazingly superior specs... rrrrrright!

The Commodore, Roo, and Boomer talk about the hits and misses of the HD format, the future of storage, and whether not they (or any of us for that matter) should switch to Blu-ray in the foreseeable future. This is NOT a "bash the PS3" podcast... well mostly it's not.

so basicly storage capacity was senseless, the game itself whiout videos took aprox 2gb whit textures, rest was movies..ff7 took 4 disks because they had movies they needed to get inn, so they had to copy gamepart for eatch disk and add movies, so game took some parts and movies covered rest :P, but the game itself whiout any movie fit on a single cd about half of the cd

so even if they added 20 channels it would still only take about100-200 mb per hour.. woopefreekin do :x, also in relation to ps3.. well ps3 has only 256mb of memory, so most of the data from blue ray to ps3 is geometric data that their 8 core prossessor mashes away for nice smooth stuff, but if you look at the textures they use, they mirror alot and save as much as they can while trying to have high quality on the textures they use.. but still at one time they only have capacity for 256mb..

max res on a single screen as far as i know is on old crt 2048x1536, but videos doesnt use that. they use the hd resolution 1920x1080 or something like that, so theres no point makeing a movie whit higher resolution than that so quality from dvd to blueray can only be noticed in lenght of movie.. soo you can probebly watch a 12 hour movie on a blue ray.. and as far as audio goes 20hz to 20000 is what we can hear, and a standard 1 hour long stereo sound aka sound x2 equals about 10-20mb..
