[00:04]	IsambardPrince	I found a copy of Sports by Huey Lewis and The News. This seller does a lot of buy 2 get 1 so I found a couple other things.
[00:04]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "You like Huey Lewis and The News?" -Joseph Cantrell (Microsoft)
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	That's actually one of my favorite albums. It's a very short one, just over 37 minutes.
[00:10]	IsambardPrince	But they didn't fill it with a ton of crap just to use up the whole disc.
[00:16]	MinceR	:>
[00:20]	MinceR	"TRY GETTING A RESERVATION AT DORSIA NOW, YOU FUCKING STUPID BASTARD! YOU, FUCKING BASTARD!"
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	I recommend booking Dorsia on Resy, with your American Express Gold Card. You get a $50 rebate twice a year on that.
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	:D
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	It really helps with the annual fee/
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, It's surprising how little DVDs and Blu Ray discs cost now.
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Even the Disney ones are losing a lot of their resale value used.
[00:22]	MinceR	not that surprising, given that they don't last (at least DVDs don't) and hardly anyone wants them anymore
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	I remember even ten years ago where Disney VHS tapes were still going for $5 each sometimes.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	Kids don't really care if it's a tape.
[00:23]	MinceR	they might prefer something that can actually see something of on the screen :>
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	They stopped selling VCRs around 2008 I think but like everything else they made so many that you can still find VCRs that work fine at any thrift store.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Yeah, Betamax should have won that format war.
[00:25]	MinceR	betamax tapes are too short to be practical
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	It was able to use more of the capability of TVs even back then, but VHS ended up being cheaper for movie studios so they used that and charged the same price, and most just refused to put anything on Beta and then it lost.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Some Betamax tapes can do 4 or 5 hours.
[00:26]	MinceR	though apparently betamax only had superior image quality at 1 speed, which was removed later
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	Which is shorter than a VHS on SLP, but that's not how commercial tapes are recorded.
[00:26]	MinceR	so betamax lost the one advantage it had
[00:26]	MinceR	13 012553 < IsambardPrince> Some Betamax tapes can do 4 or 5 hours.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	at a comparable mode to SP, the Betamax tapes still had about 2.5 hours on them.
[00:26]	MinceR	sure, in very poor quality
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	So you might need to put two tapes for really long movies, but the same thing happened with VHS.
[00:27]	IsambardPrince	Lawrence of Arabia, Titanic, and The Ten Commandments all on VHS required two tapes.
[00:27]	MinceR	recording a tv show on multiple tapes while you're not at home isn't terribly practical
[00:27]	MinceR	and i don't think many people were rich enough to keep a second video player or vcr just to watch prerecorded betamax tapes

[01:01]	IsambardPrince	Oh, those movies were so long they did all kinds of awful stuff to put them on TV.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	They edited them "to run in the time allotted" and to make room for commercials. They time compressed them.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	I've seen them crunch down a 3 hour epic movie into 1.5 hours to make room for a 2 hour slot with 30 minutes worth of commercials.

[03:11]	MinceR	and the industry likes to build applications on top of web browsers even if they don't benefit in the least from that

[06:51]	IsambardPrince	If anything ever happens where I can't use the Blu Ray the DVD format has been "cracked" for decades now.
[06:52]	IsambardPrince	It costs the same to get a Blu Ray that comes with a DVD as well as to get just the DVD.
[06:52]	IsambardPrince	So there's no real risk vs. just buying a DVD.
[06:53]	IsambardPrince	I think that Blu Rays are likely to keep playing in the future even if all you can get are one of these 4K players.

[09:13]	IsambardPrince	ebay has Urotsukidoji on Blu Ray. That's the most expensive Blu Ray I've ever seen.
[09:13]	IsambardPrince	The cheapest listing is almost $80.
[09:21]	IsambardPrince	I was an "early adopter" of DVDs, and the format had some bugs which were largely solved later.
[09:22]	IsambardPrince	Even the earlier releases eventually got re-encoded with later encoding software, problems at the factory where they had a run of bad discs largely went away.
[09:23]	IsambardPrince	The players themselves got a lot smaller and ended up being able to buffer a few seconds of video, so when it goes from one layer to another, you don't have that horrible thing in the middle of the movie where the entire picture breaks apart and then starts to re-assemble itself.
[09:24]	IsambardPrince	And the cost of a player fell from over $300 in 1998 (that's what I paid for one when most people I knew were still using VHS) to about $30, for one that has an HDMI port and even upscales it.
[09:25]	IsambardPrince	From my couch, I can tell you which video is a DVD and which is a Blu Ray, but the difference isn't nearly as drastic as VHS to DVD I brought a movie to Best Buy where they had a 4K Blu Ray system and a brand new TV set up.
[09:26]	IsambardPrince	I asked politely if I could play all three discs I brought with me side by side from the same time index. They actually had three televisions of the same brand and size hooked up there with the same model 4K Blu Ray player.
[09:27]	IsambardPrince	So I was able to use a tape measure to mark 8, 10, and 12 feet away from a 65" 4K TV each running a DVD, a Blu Ray, and a 4K Blu Ray of the same movie.

[09:28]	IsambardPrince	At 8 feet I could tell a slight difference between the Blu Ray and 4K Blu Ray, at 10 and 12 feet I could only tell the difference between the two versions of Blu Ray which by this point looked pretty much the same, and the DVD.

[09:33]	IsambardPrince	They had to go back in and essentially redo the animation work so that it wouldn't suddenly look even worse in higher definition.
[09:34]	IsambardPrince	It's never zero work to remaster something like this. Sony spent so much just remastering Lawrence of Arabia for Blu Ray that there are some entire movies that don't have that much of a budget.
