Blu-Ray wins?

[yesthattom]

Warner backed Blu-Ray for the HDTV DVD standard, no longer siding with "both". This is very exciting to me. Blu-Ray has much more storage capactity and high bitrate. It is the better standard from a technology wise. It's sort of like Betamax beating VHS. I was really converned that the lower technology would get the better market acceptance.

It doesn't seem impossible to me that in three years the very concept of distributing movies on physical media will be a dead technology thanks to on-demand video, and that this will look like a debate over which kind of kerosene lamp is best.
