Comment on Is Blu-ray dead already? by geekrawker

I think from a consumer standpoint Blu-Ray will always be a hard sell. �At home i only have 1 blu-ray player, and like the article stated… �at 6 to 8 feet away, i can hardly see a difference in the up converted DVD stream vs the Blu-ray stream. �About the only time i can see the difference is watching one of my sons animated cartoons in�HD. �Traditional movies, even those now shot in a digital format don’t offer enough of a resolution boost for the viewing distance to make the investment worth it. And yes, streamed IP media is the future and we all know it. �

I am also a huge audiophile, and i still use RCA hookups (shame on me for not using Digital or optical lines! �what? it still sounds great, lol)�
I will say however, as a 15 year video pro i don’t want to see blu-ray go anywhere. � I love the format for my post production work flow. �The media isn’t too terribly expensive when compared to other large storage formats such as solid state or traditional spinning hard drive discs and arrays. �

This said, it has not replaced my drive storage for media. Rather, its provided a remarkably robust redundant backup at a fraction of what we would be spending on hard drives and arrays. � �We shoot to card media, this $$ card media is then transferred to a long term hard drive for storage, and a second copy is generated to blu-ray for working. � We can then abuse these discs until the media becomes un recoverable and simply make a new copy from the archived hard drive. �Wow, good by magnetic tape for ever! �(i still have a DVC, beta and 1″ tape library in the back office). �

We are more than willing to sacrifice the slightly slower transfer speeds when capturing media off the blu-ray vs the fortune it would cost to keep this media backed up on 2 drive units. Keep in mind we are not writing a authored disc… simply utilizing the insane amount of storage in a data format to make a replica of the card used to film. �

I feel that if Blu-Ray is going to stick around, they need to start attacking it from a PC/Mac drive storage solution standpoint for consumers, not authored HD Video.�

I prefer DVD, Blu Ray is a format that has taken off in the same way as DVD. most people don’t want to replace their collection of dvds so the stick with a format that is tried and tested. plus you can upscale DVD, so buying Blu Ray becomes insignificant.

Well, it’s 2012, and I’ve still not owned a single Blu-Ray DVD or player, not even a PS3 (cause I don’t have that kinda money). I have not missed out on a single movie I’ve been interested in, nor do I feel I’ve been left behind, unlike the way VHS users felt when DVD was introduced. We’ll see how I feel in another 5 years.. I didn’t go pro-DVD until maybe 2004 and kept watching my old VHS tapes until maybe 2007.
But as far as I’m concerned, Blu-Ray was dead to me the moment it came out. The obscene price for anything related to it (maybe not so bad TODAY, but when you don’t have a lotta money, it’s a huge difference) certainly didn’t help sway my decision. Plus, I don’t have an HD TV and don’t play to get one in the foreseeable future. Honestly, I wish the Xbox 360 games had better text display, as that’s my only real concern.. but that kinda thing has ALWAYS been a concern on TVs, regardless of whether they’re new or old. :p
I also never saw much quality difference between DVD and Blu-ray, so that was another big contributing factor.
