Engadget,

While I'm sure Aaron's intentions are good, I wouldn't take intellectual property legal advice from someone who can't spell "copyright."

Don't thank me.

Thomson's film grain for HD DVD: if you can't play it, fake it

Jul 6th 2006 5:09PM on Engadget

You think 24 fps is too slow (and it is for some people, physiologically), fine. Let's work on speeding up the frame rate. Don't replace the media with an inferior one that's faster. Make the good media faster!

Duh.

Thomson's film grain for HD DVD: if you can't play it, fake it

The key difference between film and video is NOT grain. It's the perceptual difference of being presented with a new complete and whole image every 1/24th of a second, vs. relying on persistance of vision and low-level visual processing to "create" a solid image from a single scanning pixel (whether that's a scanning electron beam, or a single LCD/DLP pixel being addressed).

This is a deficiency that video can never compensate for, and the reason film will always have those who support it and recognize (consciously or not) the difference it provides in appreciation of a film.

I believe in protecting the environment for our children, but not for our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.

Denon's AVC-A1XVA receiver, or a small car?

Meltz, it really *is* that easy to tell the difference between $10k and $2k. And furthermore, nobody buying $10k receivers use Monster Cable's overpriced crap. (We use MUCH better cables, also overpriced)

Holy crap. The first post about a moderately expensive headphone amp was intelligent! Is this the twilight zone?!!?

Please! Some Engadget nerd in mom's basement talk about how his $75 sound card and $20 headphones sound just fine for his FLAC files!!!

You know, the iPod doesn't use tape for music storage. You don't have to change the pitch of the music to adjust the speed.

hahahaah yeah good point. all black people look the same!

you fucking racists.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
