cholla Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 anyone.. I still dont really see what is wrong with dvd.. I think just about everyone likes DVD.I have a player for my TV but it was only $60.00 new .It's a Samsung & it expands the wide screen to full screen when I need to. I like it. I still use a VCR to record TV shows so I can FF through the commercials.So I like a VCR too. My complaint about the one in the link was at that price I would expect it to record not just play.

Shug7272 Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 My question is what is wrong with dvd? DVD will not hold a feature length film at 1080p resolution that was mastered in HD. So if you have a HD TV it is gonna make a huge difference. Be like going from VHS to DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cholla Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 Thanks Shug7272 I understand now you would need this type of HD DVD player if you have a HD TV & want the best picture. If you have a regular analog full screen type TV it wouldn't make much difference & it might even be worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 VHS rocks !!!!!! and so does VCD but VHS is cool just joking i think dvd will do for me for now maybe in 2 or 3 years will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted April 22, 2006 CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 vhs has more uses than dvd. have you ever tried tying somebody to your bumper with a dvd? won't fly. but use a trusty 300 minute vhs tape and you have enough tape left over to tie a decorative ribbon.

I know 1080i you can get onto a dvd... yes swimmer, most movies are actually recorded at a must higher resolution then 1080p's 1,920x1,080. i know star wars episode 3 was recorded at twice the res. of 1080p.

dlewis23 Posted April 22, 2006 Author CID Share Posted April 22, 2006 if you want a play its up to $570 on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/BRAND-NEW-Toshiba-HD-DVD-Player-HD-A1-Plays-HD-DVD_W0QQitemZ9715385380QQcategoryZ61250QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and there are actually tvs on the market now that play 1080p. HOWEVER anyone who buys one now is screwing up BIG time due to the fact that HDMI next gen is just now being finished up and will be in tvs this summer. It will make a HUGE difference and add almost no cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
