FYI, what i meant was, if the source's bitrate is higher, the movie won't fit in a single layer DVD (DVD5). Which mean, most movies with higher bitrate will ONLY fits in dual layer DVD (DVD9).same thing like a single layer BD can be better than a DL BD  |

QUOTE DVD-5 DVDs can easily hold 2 hours of video content. The average bitrate for 2 hours on a DVD-5 is roughly 3.5 kbps. DVD-9 DVDs can hold twice the video content at the same bitrate or can have higher bitrates (average bitrate of 7 kbps) for the disc. Higher bitrates can often mean better picture quality so many Hollywood DVDs are DVD-9 discs. That said, if your video was shot with a miniDV or DV-CAM you may not see that much of an improvement with higher bitrates. The downsides of higher bitrates are slightly less compatibility with older DVD players and cost. It is more expensive to replicate DVD-9 discs. http://www.bpstudio.com/dvdauthoring.html This post has been edited by neoardi: Aug 18 2007, 12:13 AM |

Thanks guys for all your input. I feel slightly better now about my PS3. Still wish I could play my PS2 games though, but oh well, this way my PS2 won't get left out. Again, I think my main concern was Blu-Ray; if that was crippled by region lock, in addition to DVD, then I think I'd be at a huge disadvantage.
Snipersnake: Going back to the States? Not for a while...just came back from studying there. And I did get stuff in bulk; Reg 1 DVDs and PS2 games  . I had thought of buying a PS3 while I was there, but I was lucky enough to snag a Wii, so I brought that back with me instead! |

Not true. Try to rip an original DVD without all the extras. In most cases, esp newer movies, its not possible to fit the movie alone into a single layer DVD.

Its pretty difficult to get good quality on ahem DVDs anymore and that's why i rent these days. I rather wait a bit longer till they get released on the rental shops. Why bother getting a DVD9 when u know its gonna be a DVD5. For all u know, the DVD5 source is actually a 700++MB Divx file. Urghhh....

I rent my dvds from Ez Video. They can censor all the kissing scenes for all i care. I think its worth it considering the picture i get is so much better than those ahem dvds. If u think about it, most movies are left uncensored.

^ If u'r LCD monitor has HDMI inputs, then u shouldn't be paying additional to get a HDMI-DVI converter.
