You have to laugh.

Making Blu-ray's layer sizes and peak raw bit-rate even more pointless.

Still, it'll leave plenty of room for all that 'security' BS they're going to shove down you PS3 fanboys willing throats, eh? ]]>Feb 13th 2008 1:53PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/Feb 13th 2008 4:22PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/
But then again I wouldn't expect a rational argument from the reigning king of bullshit. Are we a little butt-hurt from our inferior format losing? If you are so distraught, I'm sure Nfinity would be happy to come over to your logic-obscured universe and cuddle with you.]]>Feb 14th 2008 4:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/
As usual the PS3 game cionsole kids can't see the wood for the trees.

This is about advances in compression technology.

That means my comments about Blu-ray's capacities being redundant & already outdated stand.....and this will be very relevant with downloading high def.
Ignore the truth if you like.

I know you can't abide to hear anything less that devotional to your beloved but there you go.

Also have to LMAO at your violent/abusive anal/gay sex obsessions getting an airing again.
Closet case.

Too funny.]]>Feb 14th 2008 7:19AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/
Maybe something like this:

Where's the comparisons to VC-1 and AVC? The compression ratios may turn out to be the same or worse. No one is going to even care. Especially when this format war is all but over, for a THIRD format to come of it? Yeah, right.]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:08PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/]]>Feb 13th 2008 2:16PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/Feb 13th 2008 2:57PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/
And even then, if I wanted to be like the dynamic duo, I'd mention that this would only be useful on something that has the capacity that Blu Ray has, but I won't. :P]]>Feb 13th 2008 3:03PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/Feb 13th 2008 4:36PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/02/13/avids-dnxhd-codec-approved-for-vc-3-standard/It is intended to carry HD information without or little loss on quality, but with limited bandwidth (for RT treatments by NLEs and to be easier on the HDs).
VC3 is not intended to save space on plastic discs for consumers.

And even if there was a declination with that goal, VC3 has been developped by AVID and SMPTE, not MS, and thus:
"DNxHD is intended as an open standard. Ikegami's Editcam camera system for example records directly into DNxHD encoding. Such material is immediately accessible by editing platforms that support the DNxHD codec. The source code for the Avid DNxHD codec is licensable free of charge."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNxHD_codec

But maybe you were thinking about VC-2 ?
Too bad, despite misinformation from some members of AVS/ engadget, I finally found some interesting facts about this.

VC-2 is being reviewd by the SMPTE, and has been finalized on Jan. 21st 2008. The other name it is known under is Dirac.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_%28codec%29
http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/pubs/whp/whp-pdf-files/WHP159.pdf

It has been developped by the BBC, and is also under open standard licence.

Morale: If a new gen codec were to show up at this point in time, be it VC-3 or VC-2, Blu Ray could use it just as much as the dead HD-DVD.
Come on man, stop BSing around.]]>Feb 13th 2008 3:51PM
