HD-DVD on the XBox360

Filed under: Films, HighDef — Xevian @ 8:19 pm

Just got me a HD-DVD drive for the XBox 360, Seems to work quite well, it’s quieter than the main drive which is good, playback is very good, at last! HD on a disc :p

Got Batman Begins and Goblet of fire, both look good and I like HD-DVD’s ‘pop-up’ menus and lack of regions :p

I guess in a couple of months time, when things have settled down I’ll pick up a PS3 to cover BluRay and I’m set for this format war.

1080p FTW!

Video Camera

Okay, So, I gave in, I’ve ordered a Sony HDR-SR1E from Purely Gadgets, I hope I’l get it before FC. I thought, We’ll can only really created SD DVD’s and as I have, egads, a copy of Windows on my Macbook Pro, I can use the Sony software with out too much issue. I’m just hoping AVCHD will be supported in iMovie before long, iLife ‘07 is no doubt due out next week, but I don’t think it’ll have AVCHD support, Just have yo wait and see I guess..

Update: *growl* There out of stock, even though it said it was instock when I ordered it… Now I’m gonna have to phone around :/

Sony HDR-SR1

Damn… This looks like a cool camera… HD 1080i, 30GB HDD for recording, one problem…. it uses a new format, AVCHD, all the major manu’s have signed up, but no bloody software supports it yet. It’s H264 based, so should be easy for people to add, we’ll see, at £795 I’m so tempted, but what to do with it’s video.. *growl*
