Now that the HD wars are over, I am sure things will start to move forward. However, I think it might be a long time coming. I have a feeling that this Christmas will be the year that blu-ray will be hyped to insane levels and the very well to do will buy it up like crack on 48th street.

Then Christmas of 2009 the price will drop to a level where it will truly be the hot item of the shopping season.

Then 2010 will be the year where Blu-Ray is the standard and even poor metal fans can afford it. This is when I think you will start to see a flood of metal artists release Blu-Ray collections like crazy.

This is just my prediction, but I was wrong about Google winning the bandwidth auctions too. So who knows. :cry

I think you predictions are not bad at all.I am very lucky as a independent videographer to be able to shoot in HD / edit in HD / and deliver in HD on Blu-Ray using HDV as shooting format.I have do the move fast because some clients have Big Screen HD and will not pay otherwise.Also my system can produce both standard DVD or Blu-Ray so no drawback.:thumbsup

Yeah, poor people like me have no use for Blue-Ray at all. Without a big screen and a huge sound system there just isn't any reason to jump on. But I think it will still become the standard in a few years.

I'm curious though, what OS do you use? I have heard that Vista is driving people like you fuckign nuts. :D

I use Mac OS X 10.5 also called Leopard , no crash , no antivirus here.All the system is 100% macintosh both in hardwares and softwares.Personal video system is Sony and Pro video is Sony also.:thumbs

Do you use Bootcamp to run the Sony software or was it made for the Mac?

I use Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard with Final Cut Studio from Apple to edit.Sony make Plugin for the Mac and you just install them inside Final Cut Studio , also these programs call Plugin run on macintosh native Mac OS X 10.5.

I dont use windows of any kind or versions on Macintosh and do not use any Windows PC at all since 1999.Even if you need Microsoft Office Microsoft make it for Macintosh too and the files are compatibles with Windows PC.

But even then i do not use Microsoft Office i use iWork 08 from Apple who can read Microsoft Office files when i need-it and do conversion to what i want to.

In short with ilife 08 (consumer video editing) , Final Cut Studio 2 (Pro video editing), iWork 08 ( a substitute for Office) , and Toast 9 Titanium (Burning software) i can do all i want and in a Macintosh Only Workflow.:monkey

Cool. I plan to get a Mac at some point. Especially since I have been getting into video editing and concert photography. Right now my main machine is Ubuntu Linux, but it sucks for both photo and video editing.
