I wonder if it's like what I did way back when. We started to convert our video
library from VHS to DVD. Maybe the next step is DVD to BR. Speaking of which,
how many of you have local video libraries with BR DVDs in stock?
I had a browse of a local Sanity the other day while waiting for my wife to get
her purchases in a woman's fashion store. I didn't see any BR titles at all.
And a local video hire library didn't seem to have any, either.
I'm wondering if it's worth the dough to get the Panasonic BR Recorder or
whether to settle for the cheaper DVD HDD Recorder which has two hidef tuners.

Hi
yeah, i'm much the same. i've invested a fair bit into dvd; with
surround sound and a mid-def tv it is adequate for my viewing... ie do i
need BR or HD... ?
no.
most movies are crap, or at best, fine on low-res. there are probably
2-3 films that might be better on hi-def, eg matrix, lord of rings, but
definitely not enough to warrant a whole new spend and change-over.
btw i haven't been to a video library for 5 years (just wait for paytv
to screen).
i might just wait for the next generation (holo ?).

My local (VE) has maybe 100-150 titles. My secondary (BB) store has perhaps 30.

Yeah, it really is a crock.
Blu-ray isn't going to magically make movies look "better", despite
what some people think. Older TV shows are another quality issue as
well since a lot of shows post 1988 were edited on tape. Transferring
these shows to HD will make them look like crap. One has to go back to
the original film elements if they want to get a decent HD picture.
I'm happy with my upconverting DVD player and HDTV thanks. Blu-ray can
piss off for all I care as I'm not going to get sucked into the
spending circus yet again.
Your right on the money, I was told a while ago at our local Sanity outlet.
"It's simply not worth the shelf space to stock bluray"
WOW Wicked, don't stock BR ether. And while it might always be out
there, it will remain a nitch market. It's hardly worth the trouble of
paying fancy money for a recorder. When media is such a small market.

A couple of years ago, or maybe three years ago when I first subscribed to this
NG I noticed that there were quite a few people who were busy building up a DVD
collection.
After a while I asked some of them why they were doing this, particularly if
they were ever going to only watch a movie or TV show once. Basically a lot of
them said that the movie would be there if they were ever to want to watch it
again.
Lot of these folks are no longer on here. I therefore wonder if they're flogging
their collections on Ebay or if they're sitting in the rack gathering dust and
slowly deteriorating.
When I was watching Star Trek Voyager I was buying the VHS tapes as they were
being released in Oz. At the time, Nein was refusing to air them, or if it was,
it was a couple of seasons behind.
Thing is, after the S7 concluded and we started buying or renting DVDs, I mulled
over the idea of putting my VHS collection onto DVD. In the end I said, "bugger
it, what's the point?" and flogged them all on Ebay.
Then I got onto the Stargate craze and because I'd missed most of them I bought
the box sets as they became available from Amazon. They too are now sitting in
the DVD rack rotting away...
These days we hire movies if we want to watch one, or watch whatever pay
television has to offer on its movie channels. As for TV shows, well there's
Network BT for that. I was building up a bit of a library that way too, but in
the end, hard disk space won out, as it was unlikely that I'd be watching these
shows again, with the exception of a few.
