will Blu-Ray/HD-DVD alter the way HB comes out on DVD?

[JCorey3rd]

So I was reading an article about how a lot of the studios are thinking about using the next level of technology to not put out HD versions of their TV shows, but expand content size per disc so they don't have to make boxsets for a season.

If you can put 20 hours of DVD footage on an HD/BR disc, then an entire HB series can be pumped out on a single disc. This would be a great way for some of the lesser H-B series to be put out. They could be able to piggyback series such as "Goober and the Ghost Chasers" with "the Funky Phantom." Or "Birdman and the Galaxy Trio" with "Space Ghost" - a double dip that would appeal to Adult Swim fans.

I was wondering about this as well, since it seems the only way we will ever see the Filmation library is by DVD, and I wonder how consistent Entertainment Rights will be in releasing all the stuff. Plus, it would cost so much to buy whole series, and even boxed sets can only cover but so much.
So it seem the new technologies may be the hope of having whole series on a few discs. I forget at the moment how much they can hold, though.

I hate this idea

There is something i love about box set's I guess i love the packaging,and opening the packaging and seeing the many diffrent disk's.Its kinda the fun about buying multi disk set's.If they put it on one disk,the fun will be taken out of buying box set's.:sad:

I think that there is going to be extreme resistance from the buying public for the new Blu-Ray/HD-DVD format.

Everyone jumped on the VHS bandwagon in the early 1980's because it was new and now you could own your own movies. In the mid-1980's came the compact disc music format and it took off like a rocket and everyone changed over their vinyl record/cassette libraries for the CD's. They were great.

Next comes DVD in the late 1990's and it was able to offer commentaries, bonus features and a lot more affordable pricing and storageable product with all the info on one disc.

I think it is too soon to ask everyone to convert over to another format. I have spent (and many others) a lot of money converting to the "newest" thing, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere. Just because the studios are pushing it doesn't mean I have to buy into it.

Laserdiscs started to come out before VHS was popular. The problem was that RCA had their own format, SONY had their own format and SANYO had their own format. They kept duking it out to see who would be the winner. When VHS was introduced, a different videocassette format was also launched called BETA. Retailers and movie companies let the two of them duke it out to see which one would be standing. BETA was much better at picture quality but VHS eventually won out. Somebody somewhere also realized that one laserdisc format was better than the ten being offered. They did okay with it but sales were never that good.

DVD has been standardized from the get-go; just like CD's were. I am happy to own all of the Flintstones on DVD, but I will not change everything over for a new format. They can't make me.

It's true that this stuff has all piled up one after the other. DVD should have come out 10 years earlier (not too far behind VHS, and it still would have picked up because of the convenience of a CD sized disc), and then it would not be too early to get the hew blue laser technology.
(Watch, as soom as many people get that, then they will come out with high capacity solid state video, just like solid state audio has quickly surpassed the new recordable audio discs in popularity).

they are predicting 3 million Blu-Ray units to be in American households by next Christmas - it's going to be part of the Playstation-3

"High Def"-DVD and Blu-Ray are designed for HD content so most of there space will be taken up by the movie. i doubt that boxsets are going anywhere for the time being

you can put non-HD content on these discs. And you can get 20 hours of DVD level video on these discs. There's already talk that Paramount wants to put all the Star Trek films on a single disc in DVD quality as something to sell folks who buy a Sony Playstation-3, but aren't going to buy an HD-TV.
