What does it matter? As soon as the Blu Ray 4 comes out and i've converted everything to Blu Nutz then the Red Laser 6 will be out and Mac will be upgrading from intel to C64 chips and Rosetta will be obsolete because the G5s will be upgraded to i1s and you will need 8GB of Ram to sync up with your iPhone which will only accept HD memory sticks and they will have upgraded the pixel technology to see new colors in the rainbow so we will have to upgrade our eyeballs and apple will have to rip out our eyeballs and transplant them with the iBallz and we will see from our nutz forever only apple.

You can hold your breath for every new bit of technology that might come out sometime. Or you can buy what is available now and either upgrade it when it is available OR buy an external blu ray disc drive, which is what I plan to do.

1gb aint shit now, I just recently bought my first dvd burner just for backups and things. and started converting xvids and burning them to dvd and it works great and takes about an hour from start to finish. I don't even have a dvd player on my tv anymore, gave it to my mom.
The d-link medialounge plays xvids wirelessly. It is like apple tv minus HD. They have a model that plays hd and you don't need to use iTunes and you can hack the shit out of the software to make it play quicktime and wmv, mpeg4 etc.
this software that works for the d-link called tversity, while ugly, is incredible, cnn and bbc news feeds, works with podcasts and vidcasts thru rss, really cool, I learned a ton if shit about networking just getting stoned and playing with it.

yeah, even new movies are out there. I scoped the new Rocky flick last week and same deal- on a 32" sony trinitron flatscreen it looked DVD quality.

I got a rip of the borat movie that you would swear was the dvd. I burned it and watched it on a 42 inch 16x9 hd lcd last week and it was excellent. the sound wasn't 7.1 in the surround sound but who cares about borat in 7.1?

yeah, bandwidth is the only real peoblem (besides licensing) and that is being solved through fiber-optics or whateverthe hell soon enough. But yeah, I know some peeps that enjoy downloading full, high-quality movies and burning them with dvd quality

I hope you are right. "a friend of mine" started downloading xvid dvd-rip movies in november and now has over 150 full length movies.

By the time they figure out which format to use, all HD will be avail for download like music.

the ability to put 40 xvid dvd-rips on one disc is a crazy concept though. Although not HD, that is a lot of f-ing movies.

the real test would be a hybrid hd-dvd/blu-ray burner. Otherwise the porn industry will call it hd-dvd.

(Jan 15 07, 08:04)i was just at ces, and the rumor was that, although the lg player can play video from both blu-ray and hd-dvd, you cn't access the menu system on hd-dvd discs, so this player isn't really a viable sollution...

rocky on regular dvd is amazing. I can't see spending $1G on a blu ray player so I can watch movies from the 70's.

i saw rocky on blu-ray the other day at a friend's place, and it fucking blew my mind.
though, if i didn't have a HDTV / nice audio-setup, i wouldn't even consider it a format.

(Jan 15 07, 11:18)I would consider the resounding tone of "BluRay is dead" to be a valid response to your question. If I think BluRay is a dead-end tech, then why would I anticipate Apple putting it in their computers? Connect the dots, buddy. Geez.
