“A negligible change in quality”???!?!?
You sir, need your eyes checked.
By the way, previews and ads are skippable. You either press fast forward or next chapter.
Actually, unless you’ve gone out and bought a high end TV, it is negligible. I have a 27 inch 1080p that yes, if I’m looking for it I can tell the difference between between Blu-Ray and DVD, but it’s certainly not stunning.
There’s a snob in our midst, and his name is Roger.
I guess I’m a snob for having a 47 inch 1080p then. DVD’s look like crap on it, BluRay looks freakishly amazing.
I do have to agree on that with a 30 inch or bigger 1080p tv Blu-Ray does look quit better than dvd as long as you use hdmi cables.
*quite
and if you want to go right to the movie on some dvd player press stop stop play
Unless you have a big screen TV then no, there isn’t any noticeable difference between standard TV and HDTV. If you are sitting on the couch across the room from an average size (~30″) TV, SD is just as good as HD, except the TV set costs $40 instead of $400.
To bad that studies show that an HD TV no matter what size shows a difference in quality. unless your eyes suck. in which case you should not be talking about HD.
I don’t sit two feet away from the TV, so even though an HDTV is technically better, the human eye is unable to see any real increase in quality from an average viewing distance. I’m not talking about big screen TVs or sitting close to smaller sets, I’m talking about normal people who sit on the couch to watch TV. But, of course, “HDTV is always better” is exactly the mindset electronics companies want you to have so that you will keep buying their products.
I have watched a 32″ HDTV and a 32″ SDTV AND I have bad eyes, yet I can STILL tell the difference between Blu-Ray and DVDs at a glance.
Kind sir/lady, I put it to you that you exaggerate to add validity to your point. In doing so your opinion is made less credible, as an argument that requires such embellishments is clearly of inferior quality.
Also to further the general debate; whether the difference is noticeable or not from a short distance on an excessively large TV many people do not have access to such amenities. In addition when have you felt the sudden inexorable need to see the subjects of said digital versatile disk in so much more superfluous detail? If a film cannot capture your imagination without the perfect conveyance of imagery surely this is a sign of lacking plot, characters, or other aspects pertaining to a quality piece of entertainment. You may answer yes, I have found myself wanting of more than the usual level of detail, but I cannot see that you got the quantity of quality your money paid for. Lower the prices or increase the quality, I say! Bally good day to you, I hope you at least are convinced by your superior quality merchandise.
Most ads are skippable, but then there are the unskippable variety. I really don’t think that a person in this day and age would fail to grasp the concept of skipping a chapter.
Don’t forget heavy-handed advertisements about the evils of smoking. Big tobacco is about as moral as puppy killers.
A pirated version doesn’t have all of these. Just the movie. Learn to use torrents people! P2P is the future!
Actually I submitted two versions of this and the other one had a 2nd chart that read “Contents of an Illegally Streamed Movie” with a solid pie chat that just said movie.
I thought it was funnier, but what ever. This site seems to shit can a lot of my stuff that I think is great, but then grabs the stuff I did on a whim.
And I agree that DLC is the next format.
isn’t it “obnoxious” ?
The Abnoxious is Tony Little’s new exercise machine.
Thank you.
And they wonder why people don’t legally buy the movies.
Stole the words right out of my mouth.
The adds for Blu-Ray on DVDs don’t bug me so much, it’s the adds for Blu-Ray on Blu-Ray. I already have Blu-Ray dammit!
I know, they have been doing that for years. When VHS was moving to DVD, DVD’s would have DVD format ads. So annoying!
The “movie” slice should be about half that size.
I don’t think there’s actually a joke here. This is a more or less literal assessment of what is on a DVD.
Therein likes the joke. It’s one of those laugh-to-keep-from-being-seriously-depressed scenarios, because we’re mostly powerless to fight what we don’t like about DVDs.
This is why I miss Laserdisc… or even VHS. You could painlessly skip all the previews and warnings! Analog for the win!
Except for the LOTR DVDs. They’re bloody brilliant. I wish more movie DVDs were like that.
More literal “contents of a DVD:”
15g polycarbonate
.5g UV curable adhesive
< .001g Silicone
< .001g Aluminum
Basically, saying BluRay looks no better because you have a small TV is the equivalent of saying sex is no fun because you have a small penis. If you had a larger penis, you’d be having loads of fun. Don’t hate, just sayin’.
Ha!
So you’re saying your TV is a phantom penis?
My penis is a phantom TV.
My GF is Asian so she thinks it’s massive, so shhhhh, she doesn’t know it’s average.
Does that make DVD format masturbation?
if you think the FBI warnings are bad; there is a certain UK anti piracy ad where a man with a branding iron destroys piles of cd’s and dvd’s, and the voiceover goes like ‘Piracy funds terrorism’. First time I heard that I was like “what??” and I literally lol’ed.
Too bad I can’t find it on youtube now.
I once saw a nice effort on the DVD though, different from all the anti-piracy ads: A whole film crew cheering for the watcher, for they bought a legal disc and so supported them. I like positive ads. Also, this one was skippable.
Well to be fair the first people to write a boot sector virus were a pair of Pakistani brothers…in Pakistan…
they were pirating Windows 3.11 and selling illegal copies. they thought anyone that bought from them should be punished for being Sinful.
FYI, Blu-ray players are also upscalers, so buying a blu-ray player will not negate your current DVD collection, only make it EVEN MORE POWERFUL!!!
Plus some movies really don’t need to be Blu-Ray. King Kong looks awesome in Blu Ray, but do i really need Gran Torino in Blu Ray? Nah, I’ll stick with DVD for that one.
I agree. Blu-Rays that I buy are action movies, ones with a DVD included, Pixar, and movies with really cool special effects. I don’t need to see pores on Vince Vaughn when I watch the Breakup, or to see how old people really look in Grumpy Old Men. What I really hate is the fact that studios are putting everything on Blu-Ray, when the DVD format is cheaper and perfectly fine for certain movies (and not everything was filmed in HD, so your studio upgrading is not always up to par). I am really fine watching Drawn Together on DVD.
Except for some TV shows and independent films, movies are filmed on film, which is still much much higher resolution than even the best digital cameras. When they make a Blu-Ray they just scan the film at a higher resolution than they did for the DVD version.
If you can’t easily notice a difference in DVD and BluRay… you’re doing it wrong.
Only poor people say blu-ray isn’t amazing.
I’m not that rich and i never bought a blu-ray in my life. Don’t even have a player for one. But i watched hundreds for free on my computer just using the internet.
I have a blu ray player, high end hdmi cables, and a 40 inch hdtv by sanyo… The quality is negligible, unless I stand 2 feet away. My vision is 20/15.
Blu-rays make my head hurt a bit more though.
FAIL, Blu-Ray players can play DVDs so you don’t have to get rid of them.
Did they mention on those Blu-Ray ads that on Blu-Ray you can SKIP the ads (except for the Blu-Ray ads, which tell you how much you should love the product you’re using).
Only advantage of VHS
booooooooooooo! get with the program people. DVDs are going the wayside like the VHS…and prices are not inflated if i’m getting brand spanking new blurays from amazon for 15 -20 bucks a pop… accept the DVDs fate because eventually…SOON.. it’ll be gone and you won’t have a choice.
FYI blu-ray players can play DVDs too
