Blue Ray Rom Views
In December, Toshiba and other HD-DVD media backers formed the HD-DVD Promotion Group to promote the format, and to ensure early product launches and subsequent market penetration. Other pros and cons seem to bleed together as both formats offer similar features. For example, while HD-DVD touts the ability to create discs with red-laser standard DVD format on one side and blue-laser HD-DVD standard on the other, a Blu-Ray Disc Association spokeswoman points out that JVC announced in December a disc that allows both standard DVD and Blue-Ray content on a single side of the disc. The Blu-Ray Disk camp has argued that single-sided discs are more consumer friendly. In the vital area of picture quality, both formats also have a difficult time differentiating between one another. As the battle heats up in 2005 and well into 2006, customers will have to decide which format will be the final winner.
Does anyone have any experience with a blue ray rom in their machine. I am thinking of getting one but have some concerns. 1) is performance. The site states a P4 3.0 1.5gb ram and 30gigs of HD space. So I am guessing any core2 based computer would do the job with a decent GPU. 2) is HDCP. I have a HDCP capable graphics card, but my computer is hooked to a HD (720P) tv. So does that mean I won't get HD and just better looking SD.
Hey ya i have that same exact blue ray rom its really good. Well u might want something faster then a p4 but you dont need any high end core 2 duo. Remember these days ur gpu handles it so make sure have a good graphic card. It would look better then standard but you wont get the full benefit. If you cant get a monitor at 1920 by 1080 try to least get 1680 by 1050.
