I wonder how many Episodes theyll fit on a disk!

I mean I still find it amazing that they got so many episodes on DVD's like for
Blue Submarine No 6

and the fact they got a whole 2 episodes per disk on FLCL

What can they do with 25 gigs? 5 episodes mabey even six and only at a slight 200% increase in price!

I'll be astounded!

hhhmmm yea, I don't think that's going to change. It's not the disc it's the makers.

but the import dvd maybe.

go here

According to inside sources I talked to at Anime Detour, the industry is in no big hurry to get into blue ray or hd-dvd. There is to much of a format fight going on right now and hardware hasn't been delivered as promised. He thinks that the industry will soon be moving to a new format, a holographic card. Put the card in a slot and lasers read it with almost no moving parts. Best thing is they have put over a terabyte on the size of a credit card, with lots of room to spare.

Jeez... You do realize that you all have it good with an average of 4 episodes per DVD, right? In Japan, FLCL was released with ONE episode per DVD. On the other hand, by putting fewer episodes per disc, they usually leave more room for "digital omake" and for a higher video bitrate. But not only are there fewer episodes per DVD over in Japan, the DVD price is higher.

And I wouldn't take oldwrench's post above mine seriously.

Eh, I won't have much need for either format right off the bat as I don't have an HDTV (my grandparents do, though); the only advantage would be for editing, but that relies on the ability to break the AACS encryption, and moreover, to be able to continually break it, since AACS has been reported to be upgradable (whether that's actually true or a media farce remains to be seen). It will be nice to have HD res, AVC-formatted anime or movies, though, once I actually have an HDTV to view it on.

I will however, have an immediate use for blanks to use with a burner, provided there isn't anything screwy about the formatting. I could honestly care less who wins the format war, as long as Blu-ray takes market share in blank media. Give me as much space as I can get; this does depend on whether, like I said, there's anything screwy about writing to blanks or not.

I'm sure they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if they incorporated something that would hinder your access to your own data stored on the discs.

Hopefully, most of the Blu-ray Discs will not incorporate ITC which at least leaves a possible opening around AACS. It's not full 1080p, but at least 1080i or 720p would be a great step up, even if it meant some amount of digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion. Plus, it means the HDTV I bought a few years ago won't be totally useless for HD.
