What do you think HD on the Internet will do for mainstream?
Consumers can now get a free upgrade to Quicktime HD, and if the reel was shot out of an HD camera, they can view full (wide) screen in HD quality.
I am not sure how things work with the PC, but my Mac has software that will import the reel and cut it up. Lowend software all the same, but still something to consider. I took a tutorial on it (shooting, importing, cutting). Now, I could be aloof to things, but I haven't noticed many pitching the concept. In other words, "CNN.com is now in HD..." Sites like IFilm offering movies in HD. Thing is, HD from your cable company requires a minimum of around $1200 considering you have to have the HD ready TV. Now the Internet can make it free. -Do all monitors accept the feed? -How many players will display too date? I only see Quicktime. Now, for shooting basic web content, you can buy the camera for around $2600. That camera is expensive, but it shoots professional footage. It is a huge camera. Sony has in the works a mini-HD cam, similar to the ones a lot of us run around with. This will go for $2k (which in my opinion will begin the massive price drop). Will this effect the web? Adult? I tend to think not, but might as well throw it in there. Will consumers want to view porn in HD? Mainstream content? Once you have the players installed, are you going to search out this type of content? That is what I do on my TV. |
I believe iFriends now offers a few of their girls shows in HD as well now. But I imagine you'd need an uberfast modem and equivalent processing power to handle the feed. I imagine it won't hit the mass market for at least 1-2 years if ever.

I asked them about Quicktime HD, they said the download was free and that anyone could view....but you know how that goes. |
I Freinds has had that for a year now. It looks good but your computer has to be in top shape to handle it.
Cory, you Mac people kill me with this, " -How many players will display too date? I only see Quicktime." stuff. Windows Media Player has been able to handle HD for a couple of years now. No special announcement was necessary to let people know either. That's how IFreinds encodes their clips. Anyway it goes it will be big once the Dual core systems have a decent level market penetration. As it stands right now, most consumers don't even have enough RAM to make it a option. |
I think the 1-2 year predictions is a bit off.
Not saying anything on you, just saying from some of the nimbrods that e-mail me (most aol users) I would bet these tools are a good 5 years off of just about any new technology, including taking care of their tooth. :rasta |

A technological adoption like this would take several years nevertheless. Look at the history of it, when highspeed came out, there were quite a few early adopters but still dialup remains the top way to get online even though there are better alternatives. Same for routers once wireless came out. Same for the adoption of Flash when it was introduced by Macromedia. I think it will pick up but it will take years to hit the mass markets. WG |

Film is chemical, it does not have a certain resolution per se, but it is always higher quality than HD, so it is possible to convert film into HD with special equipment. Quote:

For example if you wanna play an HD movie that is 1920x1080, on a 1280x1024 monitor. Quote:
Here is some sample HD movies encoded in Windows Media 9 codec: http://www.wmvhd.com/ Quote:

HD movies can range anywhere between 6mbit/sec to 10mbit/sec Quote:

Windows Media Player 9 and 10 have been around for a while. HD already works good on wmv files. I don't think a new codec upgrade from Microsoft is coming anytime soon. Quote:
There is already HD broadcast in the air. You can pick it up with special antennas. But I would suggest checking out your cable company. I also hear DirecTV offers many HD channels and they're affordable too. You can already create HD quality wmv files with Windows Media Encoder, for free, as long as you have your input files at HD quality. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...r/default.aspx Here is the FAQ on H.264, which is what the new quicktime player is all about: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/techn.../h264/faq.html Here is the new quicktime player for Windows: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/preview/ Once you get that, you can watch some HD movies here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/ Here is some sample HD movies for windows media player. You probably don't need to install anything: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...tshowcase.aspx I hope this helps clear things up a bit :) |
damn, cant edit my typos after 3 minutes, hehe
code = codec codes = codec |

Now, I think the end-user technology may be a some time off, but the fact is, the ability to create HD is here, affordable and becoming simple. One drives the other :) |

You heard wrong :) |
DirecTV has an HD package, but it only has about 7 channels currently.
HBO, Showtime, Universal HD, Discovery HD and a few others. They are in the process of launching new satellites that will provide close to 100 HD channels supposedly by year end. There is a lot of information on DirecTV HD channels, including the good and bad (voice out of sync quite often) because of their compression. I just picked up all the HD stuff over the last month or so and while the HD channels on TV are absolutely amazing, the # of channels is dissapointing still. |
Quicktime sucks.
True HD on the net most likely is not true HD. Just because it is in 16x9. True HD is 60FPS in either 720p or 1080i depending on what spec your camara is conformed to. Now think about that for a minute. What most of you are seeing is not really HD but emulated. Don't get me wrong its still kick ass no matter what but to call it HD is an insult. Shot by me. Sample Emulated of course and frame rate dropped. |

Great post. In regards to software, iMovieHD is now out making editing damn easy. Aside from that, I need to get some work done and I will respond a bit later so keep this bookmarked! Thanks for the information! |

Quicktime 7 introduces the H.264 codec, and their HD samples are encoded with this. Both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD technologies are going to use this compression standard, just like DVD's have been using the MPEG-2 compression as a standard. |

I shoot in HD now... (HDV)... on Sony HDR-FX1 --- the quality is amazing...
I think PORN and other internet stuff would look great... but--- in most cases... most sites aren't even using real good quality SD (Standard Definition) video yet... I think all these new compression techniques... wmvHD and h.264 will bring HD video to the net very soon. Like everyone said though, You need 1) fast computer 2) alot of ram 3) fast video card with alot of RAM Leg Out. Rack Me. 1. |
What is the best tv on the market today to use with windows xp media center.
I want to get a tv that I can use to replace my computer screens so I want it to be as vivid as it can. Any suggestions on a tv? |
I dont think we are quite ready for HD over the net yet, bandwidth is the main problem i see right now. For true HD using wmv a 30 minute video comes out to about 1.8gb.
|
i dont think HD porn will be so good.. hardcore doesnt look any better with a lot of detail.. imagine.. you'll be able to see ingrown hair in girls pussies.. mnn caca on guys dicks and all of those small details that Low resolution cameras hide so wonderfully..

Color TV? Who needs color TV?

There is new connection technology that is being tested in several places through out the country that will allow for this to happen. It is Internet over Electrical lines. It will make a T3 look like it is standing still. one article that I read, says that the speed's up and down can go into the tera Byte.

HD will spur hardware sales. Clearasil stock will probably go up too, HD has great detail.
|
i think one of the immediate effects once it gets very popular will be the need for increased internet speed.
i don't know if news sites will utilize it as much as say educational sites. at least not for a little while. |

So true!!! |
EXTREME FEEDS
We offer a high definition feed for our customers, and it's the most popular feed with members right now. These are videos encoded from true HD DVDS. Of course, it's impossible to stream true HD now, but our HD stuff is the highest quality available. The encoding process is expensive, but when you see the quality you can appreciate why members love it. |
Not to be the party pooper here, but H.264 has been around for a while in the mainstream world, mainly used in surviellance applications. Pelco, Sony, Panasonic have been using it for months if not over a year in hard-disk recorders. It was only a matter of time before the adult market upgraded to it, it was designed and tested for online security video applications, same with H.263.
edit - example, I can sit here in ohio and watch a near-real-time feed in HD using a security camera and high-speed connections, including PTZ control of the camera. |
Damn, for that matter, even low-end companies include the option for security recording hardware, like Samsung and COP Systems.

Test this out yourself. |
HD over the internet simply doesn't exist, and won't for many years to come. Anyone offering it is full of BS.
Broadband just isn't fast enough to stream it, and downloading it would take forever. A one hour video at full screen digital TV quality is going to be almost 1 gig in size. You could certainly pull off a smaller window, but as soon as someone goes full screen it wrecks it. Would you rather have a small window at HD quality, or full screen at TV quality? We can't even stream full screen TV quality yet, so even thinking about HD is jumping the gun. |

Thats nowhere near HD quality. Here is a video from Microsoft website: http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...gins_1080p.exe 1920 x 816 and 10.38 Mbps |

HD over the internet exists: http://www.wmvhd.com/ http://www.apple.com/quicktime/hdgallery/ most movies are over 6mbit. My cable connection is 5mbit.. Not fast enough to stream it, but way enough for downloading. |

I also said it was emulated ya fucken idiot. And in that my rendition of wide screen formated video on the net is very plausible and remain affordable. |

I would wait for a 1gig hour HD video file...
And I think a ton of other people would also... -- The Medium is The Message -- .. |

HD movies can be up to 1mbyte per sec or more
So u get 3 to 5 gigs per hour. |
HDV is 13gigs per 1hour... just like DV
wmvHD is about 5to1 compression on that, approx |
I'd wait for a 2.5gig 1 hour video file...
And I think alot of other people would also... --> The Medium is The Message <-- \ |
Sad thing is most people are still on dialup and seems like mostly countrys in Asia have 100mbps internet :Oh crap
|
Can someone explain how a 4.7 gig dvd movie is only 720x480p while you are saying hd is even larger, so shouldn't it be even a bigger file size?
I can post a video I downloaded a while back when I get of the best videos i've seen, I believe they were from Cybererotica in their version of HD. |

New compression methods, WMV9 and H.264 (Mpeg-4 Part 10), compress much better. |
I am not going to say anything. I will let these clips speak for themselves.
You will need to "Right Click" and "Save As" These clips are too large to stream. www.mayorsmoney.com/hdsample/480p.wmv size:6.85 MB res:852X480 www.mayorsmoney.com/hdsample/720p.wmv size:13.5 MB res:1280X720 www.mayorsmoney.com/hdsample/1080.wmv size:21.8 MB res:1920X1080 |

I am looking at the marketing angle which will accomodate expectations. Essentially, people just expect the quality no matter if they are viewing porn or the news. |
People saying true HD can't exist on the net are wrong IMO. It may not be true if you are gauging it from a TV feed, but I doubt that happens. It will be gauged on a Net expectation.
