Haeh?

"Blu-ray Disc players will be [...] delivering entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality,"

BluRay Disc Players koennen HD-DVDs abspielen? ist das bloss unklar formuliert, sodass ich das falsch verstanden habe, oder ist das tatsaechlich der Fall? wie sieht es denn dann mit der PS3 aus?

aber was heisst dann "HD DVD, the format competing with Blu-ray"? also kann man doch keine HD-DVDs auf BluRay Playern abspielen ... verwirrter Woody

  • Tach Woody... es gibt 2 Formate, beide sind HD das eine ist blu-ray, das andere hd-dvd...

    HD bedeutet erstmal nur, daß die "Scheibe" sehr viele Daten speichern kann (bis 50 GB wenn ich richtig informiert bin). Beide können natürlich auch HD Filme wiedergeben - es gibt eben zwei Formate für HD Filme, beide laufen aber unter dem Oberbegriff "HD"... ;) Denk einfach an einen DVD Player, "+" und "-" sind auch zwei Formate für DVD, aber nicht jeder Palyer kann beide.

  • danke, freundlicher Anonymous, das hat Klarheit geschafft. denn das, was da fabriziert wird, ist alles andere als vernuenftig - darum fiel es mir auch so schwer es zu verstehen ...

    "Let's create a new medium: a disc, that can play HD content and store certainly more data than common dvds. And we'll call it: HD-DVD!"
    - "But, sir. There's already the BluRay Disc, with absolutely the same features."
    - "Shut up, will ya?"
