Warner Bros. plans to support CBHD, the format war is back on -- at least in China {Engadget}
Mar 4th 2009 3:00PM You need to remember that this format isn't really meant to compete with Blu-Ray in a worldwide market. It's really only going to be utilized in China. Ive been working on some blu-ray projects with Warner Home Video and I haven't heard anything about them bringing it to the states. It's draw is the proprietary copy protections owned by the Chinese; but in terms of picture and sound improvements, it really has nothing over blu-ray.
Recession-busting $150 Blu-ray players coming this year {Engadget HD}
Feb 4th 2009 10:35AM There is no doubt in my mind that we will see a variety of $150-sub players this year. Overall player costs dropped profoundly in 2008 and there's nothing to suggest that, that slowdown is going to subside any time soon. I've been working with Warner Home Video on some blu-ray projects and have watched player and title prices alike drop like rocks.
Future Arcam Blu-ray player spotted at CES {Engadget}
Jan 20th 2009 2:16PM So what exactly is so special about this blu-ray player? Aside from it most likely being expensive, what's the point? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about blu-ray (I'm working with WHV on it); I'm just wondering why it's getting so much press?
DVD sales falling {BloggingStocks}
Nov 25th 2008 6:00PM While it's certainly true that many blu-ray titles are considerably more expensive than their DVD counterparts; there are still plenty of great movies out there in the $20 range. I've been working with Warner Home Video on some blu-ray projects and know they keep a list of sub $20 titles on warnerblu.com. Take a look if you're interested.
Magnavox Blu-ray player to be $128 at Walmart on Black Friday {Engadget HD}
Nov 20th 2008 10:42AM I think it's great that you can get players for such good prices. I've been working with Warner Home Video on blu-ray projects and the format has me completely hooked. I really hope it keeps getting more widely adopted, it really is a fantastic format.
Silicon Mountain's Allio: 42-inch HDTV with built-in PC / Blu-ray player {Engadget}
Nov 11th 2008 11:25AM Combos like this are certainly an interesting proposition; although realistically I'd probably opt for just buying a PS3/HDTV combo instead. With that in mind, having a TV with a blu-ray player built in is awesome. I've been working with Warner Home Video on some blu-ray projects and I'm completely sold on the format.
The rumors of Blu-ray's death are greatly exaggerated {Engadget HD}
Oct 30th 2008 6:44PM I think this topic comes up at least 3 times a week on different sites. Sure, tech pundits can say that downloadable content will spell the death of physical formats, but I think it's ridiculous to think that it will happen any time soon here. The simple fact of the matter is general broadband speeds are too low and the content is too large to be effectively downloaded or even streamed by most people. Downloading 50gig's worth of content is completely out of reach for most people. Sure, disc space is getting cheaper... but it still isn't anywhere as cheap as a blu-ray disc. I've actually been working with Warner Home Video on some blu-ray projects and they're backing this format for years to come.
Debunk: Xbox 360 streams HD Netflix over component just fine {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2008 6:04PM I'm interested to see how these types of services are going to affect Blu-ray. there's no question that it's biggest competitor in the future is going to be digital downloads and while this streaming hd isn't anywhere near blu-ray's level in terms of A/V quality, it's a great start. I've actually been working with Warner Home Video on some blu-ray projects and they're following the progression of downloadable HD content closely.
BluFocus beefs up Blu-ray control labs with BD-J / THX certification {Engadget HD}
Oct 16th 2008 4:40PM I think it's great how the format is being continually updated and improved. It should be interesting to see how THX certified blu-ray movies come out.
Volkswagen overtakes Ford in global sales {Autoblog}
Jul 31st 2008 3:21PM GM and Ford need to make some serious changes to their business models if they want to stay competitive in the next ten years. While they certainly acknowledge this, it will take a good amount of time before they are able to implement and see some positive returns.
