Computer playback? You do realise this thread is about the XBOX dude talking rubbish eh? Xbox is generally connected to a large screen TV where HD makes all the difference.
@naveen_reloaded: In VLC, press C to crop video to predifined sizes. In Media Player Classic, I enable the number lock on the keypad and press 9 to zoom into the video.

I Always Prefer 1080p
Have they completely forgotten the concept of what is called Backup ?
I literally use WD 1 TB Essential Edition USB 2.0 Drive for my backups.
Common you just cannot download 4.5 GB or 8 GB of content to watch a movie again sometime later. You gotta back them somewhere.
Microsoft is jealous of Sony's victory that shows it all.

this is just trash talk after loosing.
who the hell said downloads can destroy a media ?
I for example, still need DVDs inspite of everything being available online.
even for 1080p or 720p rips, I need media to store them in.
and BDs play a huge part there.
even with the 720p or 1080p AoTuV b5 vorbis + VP7 videos in MKV that I download, I reserve a DVD per movie, as each is ~3-4 gb.
infact, I have indirectly replaced Blu Ray DVDs and DVD-Video discs with GE-DVD(Gautham's Enhanced DVD) which uses MKV format for video with menus, VP7 or x264 codec for video and MusePack or AoTuV Beta5 for audio. And soon it will evolve to GEBD(gautham's enhanced blu ray disc)

Didn't you get it? Internet will be so fast and cheap, that you won't mind downloading the movie again. Sort of like a streaming thing. It's already happening. Burning those downloaded movies and saving them is just another chore that most don't want to do.

I myself do that btw. I delete all movies (HD) I download. If I have to watch it again, I just download it again. And all this coming from 2x2mbps connections with bandwidth capped. Imaging what it would be like on a 5mbps connection without any bandwidth restrictions...continue living in 2208

These guys are saying that the disc's will become extinct in some time. So where the hell are you going to store all your d'loaded data??? U'll run out of space sooner or later!!
and beside's this revo is not even remotely applicable to India. An 8mbps UL connection costs abt 560 INR in china where as we have to pay ard 1k for a 256UL!!!!!
WTF!

@goobi, That's completely true. Bandwidth has become far more disposable than storage space abroad. People keep only a few gems, otherwise it is download - watch - delete.
@napster, I know man!!! It pisses me off so much too!

The thing is internet will be so fast and cheap, that you won't need to store your downloaded data. How difficult is it to grasp that concept? Even your documents, photos, will all be stored in the cloud.
And if you haven't noticed yet, the rest of the world gives a pi$s about the technological status of India. Forget that, even the Indian govt does the same I think.

Think Zen.
I agree, but still , we do need backup of important data dont you think?
We cant just store data online and hope the server's wont crash.
IMO it's always more satisfying to have important data as copy.
Movies and songs can always be streamed.
Got that part right,the day we get a 10mbps unlimited for cheap will be the day the world would have forgotten about internet speeds.

^^ just use FUSE over eCryptFS for privacy
but the point is, the data won't be WITH you. take the event of a disaster. What will you do with telephone lines and towers cut off ? I myself feel crippled when these bloody BSNL guys have their regular 4 hours per day downtimes.

Point taken.And with every online service provider trying to use customer data,I'd rather have my data offline in a hard-disk.

and even the cost factor is important here.

So you saying you'd rather have your important data on something as unsafe as an optical disc? Whoever said your hard drive isn't going to be there (some say that of course). The hard drive capacities are on the rise. You will have your data on your local disk. But what you won't have is 10GB movies cluttering up that disk space. Cause without movies, pictures and music, there isn't much you can do with so much disk space (other than maybe video professionals). Flash disks are getting more widespread and reliable.
I'm not saying Optical discs are going to fly out the window in two years. No way. There will always be people who would like the boxed version and the covert art. But there's a lot of heat on people not having to store movies, music and pictures (flickR/.Mac + AppleTV?) locally. And I think it's very much possible in the near future.
