Apparently #Toshiba rushed #HDDVD so hard to the market they literally released [www.youtube.com] a #Pentium4-based #Linux box with a #Desktop #Drive as their first #Player...
Please, go ahead!
So in the format war of blu-ray vs HD-DVD vs #HDVMD (yes you read right [www.youtube.com] there existed a 3rd format [www.youtube.com], HD-VMD, that just tried to do absurd layer numbers to still use red lasers and be in theory cheaper to make discs and drives for!), the real winner are shitty Streaming Services like #Netflix and the like.
I just don't pirate so I can talk about it!
I wounder: Is there a #HDDVD #DemoScene?
Cuz apparently HD-DVD menues are just #Web 2.0 pages with #JavaScript, #HTML 4.0 and #CSS, so way easier to get started than #BDJ aka. #bluray - #Java...
Hands up #HDDVD #nerds who here also has a LG GGC-H20L [www.youtube.com]?
*me: *
To answer #f4mi's Question re: #HDDVD:
Either way, the #Enshittification of #PhysicalMedia AND #Streaming is the reason why #piracy is rising!
And yes, #BluRay really #enshittified harder than #DVD...
