DVD replaced VHS will anything replace DVD

[SnowPunk98]

Im not saying totally but its on its way out and DVD will stand for a while when if anything will take the place of the DVD? if so what I thought it was an apparent question within the statement

 

[triska]

mini dvds!!!

 

[DannyLove]

how can you ask such an obvious question like this. of course there is going to be a replacement for DVDs. just look back in history, there is always a replacement from a new technological idea, DUH!

danny~!

 

[triska]

DVD had better be around for a LONG TIME considering I've already purchased 300+ DVDs.

 

[VirusDub]

I'd guess FD-ROMs. Fluorescent data storage, 160 GB per disc. But who knows if they'll be used to replace DVDs, since 160 GB to store a movie just seems like overkill to me.

 

[GoldenTiger]

Um, your 300 DVD's would still work in your DVD player even if they stopped making them, RossMAN !

Probably a solid-state device will replace DVD's, after one more optical-disc step. Think about how cheap RAM is getting ($30 for 256mb), and eventually it HAS to end up happening !

[Joyride]

Yes of course DVD will be replaced

but

I have a pretty strong hunch it will not be for a very long time.

 

[GoldenTiger]

True, joyride. VHS stuck around for AGES (decades)... DVD's have a long time yet to go .

Geez, I wish I remembered the news source, but it said that in terms of the industry's long-term plan, DVD is simply an interim product with a lifespan of perhaps 10 more years.

Just wait until we start viewing movies holograhically
On a serious note, something will replace DVDs. Current DVD is easily the best quality consumer format to date, but (as a comparison)it's still about 1/4th the quality of miniDV. But DVDs will be here for a while (VHS is ~20yrs old).

I'd guess HD-DVD will come out, giving us true high definition video....probably start seeing it within 3-4 years...

and then we'll get to buy the same movies over again..YaY!

 

[erub]

Well I waited ~3 years after the first DVD players to jump onto the bandwagon, and wish I had waited another 1.5 years (with all the hot deals last friday, heeh) - i think i've used my $250 DVD player maybe 25 times max, I could have lived without it... No need to rush to get onto the next thing...

My question is: I wonder how soon DVD's will become the recording medium of choice (for TV type video, not computer)? I think I saw an ad over the holidays for a device that allows you to record live tv...it was mucho expensive though

Umm... I have no idea where you heard that statistic. Unless I am mistaken, miniDV (that popular digital video camcorder format) has less resolution and is of lower quality than MPEG-2 DVD.

 

[Angrymarshmello]

DVD will be the dominant thing for another 15 years or so. By that time I have no idea what'll replace it, but it'll probably be non-ruinable media (scratches on DVDs SUCK)

a wireless device will be made to stream movies directly into your brain and you will watch them on inside of your eyes. then someone else will create a device that goes up your nose to capture the picture illegally and stream it to their net-ready microwave so they can watch it as they make jiffy pop popcorn (which will make a come back in the year 2043 and bankrupt orvil redenbacker).

not to mention the discs themselves are not archival quality and will likely start peeling by then.

 

[dieselstation]

i say we need a dvd with 100x the current capacity... for real 3d hologram television projects.. sorta like the shark on top of the movie theater from back to the future 2.

on the way btw, I think we also need better CONTENT to store on the DVDs

[flame war alert]Will Linux ever replace that sorry excuse for an OS called Micro$oft Windows?[/flame war alert]

 

[lowfatbaconboy]

In a word, NO. Did you know that Dell just stopped selling systems with Linux. That can't be a good thing.

 

[Nefrodite]

probably hd dvd, normal dvds can't handle hdtv yet probably be backwards compatible since thats easy wtih discs anyways
