HD DVD is dead. Long live HD DVD!
By converting your movies to a more enduring format, you can ensure your movie collection survives the death of the machine that plays them.
The process is simple in principle but excruciating in practice, thanks to the complexity of the technology, the myriad of applications needed and the predations of an industry that doesn't want you format-shifting at all.
The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?
I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*
Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.
Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.
Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.
The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.
"A Windows machine with a fast processor
An HD-DVD drive
A Blu-Ray burner
30GB of free disk space, at least, though 40GB or more is recommended
An internet connection to download all the software you need."
Seems kinda of pricey.
Or just rebuy the movie @ $20 - $30.
cant i just keep my hd dvd drive and watch my collection of 30 movies? wouldn't that be the best choice? its not like my hd dvd doesn't work anymore... silly people. why don't people understand as the technology get more commonplace and the hardware becomes more reasonable we will soon see dual format readers for about $100 for pc's ect that will play any optical disk placed in them. so the smart mans choice would be keep his HD DVD's watch them on his HD DVD player until a cheap mainstream multireader is common place.
Either re-buy or just keep a HD DVD player handy. CC is selling the A3 for $99 now.
maybe when the rest of the studies become blue all the movies will be rereleased in the blu ray format giving everybody the option to buy them then. There are a few movies people would love to see on blu (Transformers)
What a waste of time reading that.
It stands to reason that people who have bought HD-DVD discs also have a HD-DVD player ... therefor they don't need to "convert" the movie to view it.
tsktsk
No need to convert and create a whole new selection of macroblocks and artifacts while transcoding. It's cheaper to rebuy the movies right now anyways.
