    45 GB HD DVD Tested.. bye bye Blu Ray

    So does anyone have a calculation that if a movie was 1080p60 what the speace requirement would be? Just looking at the frame rate being 2 1/2 times higher than the current release would lead one to increase capacity that much? I know that compression could make a big difference here.

    DVDtalk- "BluRay is a bust"

    Of course in a cynical way the less capable videotape format mat won the battle from a picture quality aspect. Also deciding on which format is the best based on one player from one brand seems like a reach... Just don't buy the samsung...... I have read elswhere that the component output was...

    So the only format that is close to this is the 48 FPS of IMAX correct? I thought that some of the film production company were chaning over to digital 60 fps but that is probably a rumor.

    Blu-ray Hits Best Buy Stores!

    Thanks for the details of how they implement. Is it in the standard that if you have a video source that was 1080p60 that a future disc could have this? Future proofing is always a dangerous deal :)

    CompUSA pushing BR

    So why write a review on the sammy when you don't have an HD disc? At that point I couldn't care less about the rest since the only reason for buying it as an early adopter is to se blu-ray. Too me really weird to spend the time to type something up that is really incomplete.

    No Signal When A/c Kicks On!! Help!!!

    Too small of wire gauge so voltage is dropping too far for your unit. I would be concerned about it big time. Has the circuit breaker been changed by a previous owner? Get a volt meter insert into the socket that you have the unit plug into and then turn on the A/C good odds are you will see...
