Well, I make the statement of HD-resolutions needing more disc space
predicated on the fact that electronics manufacturers are busy crafting new
DVD technologies using Blue-rays and higher density discs specifically for
HD-DVD movies (I will admit that my area of expertise, so to speak, lies in
Home Theater rather than actual computer graphics.) I believe there are 3
different formats currently in development.
Widescreen magazine went so far as to compare the new formats in development
along with the current DVD format, Video CD as well as D-VHS (currently the
only format where you can buy pre-recorded HD movies.) They compared the
amount of storage on each format where the new HD-DVDs and D-VHS went up to
as much as 50 gigabytes while current DVD maxes out at 9. When they compare
amount of HD recording time on each format current DVD was listed as "not
practical" while HD-DVD and D-VHS featured up to 4 hours of HD video.
So I'm lead to believe that there is a direct correlation between HD
resolution and storage space.
Thanx for enduring my rantings
