„And now (to finally get to the point of this post!), your Mac makes it easy to time shift all sorts of content, including radio, streaming audio and a surprise you won't believe!I received a DVD player this past Christmas after my VCR died after nearly a dozen years. So I doubt I'll be getting a DVR any time soon. Still, a couple of the other items mentioned are worth a look:“

Is Hollywood Undercutting Music Sales?
[Archived in Direct Video Dvd, Dvd Music Video, Dvd To Video, Dvd Video Sales, Entry, Music Video Dvd, Video And Dvd, Video Dvd Rental, Video To Dvd]
Jason on 2004/03/31:
„While music and movies are vastly different pastimes, NPD analyst Russ Crupnick argues that the decline in CD sales is increasingly attributable to the rapid rise in DVD sales. (Similarly, many publishers believe the lure of inexpensive DVDs, available in big chains like Borders, has eaten into book sales.) Researchers note that purchases and rentals of movies and music, along with videogames, typically come out of the same household budget for entertainment, so an increase in one can have a direct impact on the other.“

Dude, you are getting a game!

Joel Comm on 2004/03/30:
„I've been telling you about a newcomer on the video game/DVD rental market, GameZNFlix.com . They have finally launched their new site and they just announced that Ben Curtis (the former spokesman for Dell Computer) is going to be appearing in their new television commercials. This is a huge coup for GameZNFlix.com as they seek to compete with Netflix in the huge DVD rental market.“

dr.k on 2004/03/29:
„Perhaps independent in distribution? Distribution of independent film parallels mainstream cinema; both are watched on screens, or rented on video and DVD, or broadcast. With the introduction of a web/downloadable subdivision in the IGF, distribution seems to be a significant distinction for independent games. But why not just make it the Downloadable Games Festival?“

The Death of a DVD Player
[Archived in Dvd Video Quality, Entry]
John F. on 2004/03/27:
„In 1998 I had the money to blow so I went out and got a player before the format even took a firm hold on society. Over the years, my Panasonic DVD-A105 has shown hundreds of hours of DVD video in high quality without a ton of bells and whistles like some of the new models that come out. It isn't a progressive scan DVD player, it doesn't have digital zoom, or a hard drive or whatever... it's just a solid machine that has gone the distance time and again.“

„We spent 6 hours over 2 nights watching one of two things -- either a) videos, 5 hours of them, or b) the teacher hitting the forward button on the DVD the state provided as fast as he could. He wrote two things on the board in the two days of being there. One was his name.“

sara on 2004/03/25:
„But with our old setup, if any of these shows were recording, we couldn't watch anything else. So if Emma wanted to watch Dora on TV and not one of the many we have on DVD or VHS (which, believe me, isn't that far-fetched), we had to keep her mind off of this desire for a full hour. Have you ever tried to occupy an hour of a toddler's time? I rest my case.“

The hardest job of them all
[Archived in Entry, Video And Dvd, Video Dvd Releases]
Scott on 2004/03/24:
„DWM has had over a decade and a half of covering a television series that (save for the 1996 TV Movie) had no original TV content to cover. While Who-related fiction has never been in short supply -- with book series first by Virgin and then the BBC and Telos Publishing, then audio dramas from Big Finish and the perennial video and DVD releases of old classics -- such output has generally been designed to appeal to existing fans. And so, the magazine has evolved to also cater for that market.“

8.5GB DVD drives hit the stores

Alex on 2004/03/22:
„These double-layer DVD+R discs can contain about four hours of DVD-quality video or 13 CD-ROMs worth of data, which can be accessed without the need to turn over the disc. Another key advantage of double layer DVD+R is its compatibility with existing DVD Video players and DVD ROM drives. In addition to the PC drive, Philips will be among the first to introduce a double layer, 8.5GB disc.“

"Shipping in early 2005, Toshiba's Advanced Digital Media Server will start with a connected DVD recorder, but it will also simultaneously-and wirelessly, of course-stream three TV signals (including an HDTV signal) and digital audio to at least two devices, without signal loss. The package will also include a PVR to perform TiVo-style recording and a 250GB hard drive for storing your digital content. In addition, it will provide software that lets users see and access all of the multimedia content stored on the network from any properly connected device....“

„My wife Lucy is from West Virginia and remembered this film as being really good. We couldn't find a DVD at the main chain video rental places, but we did manage to locate a tape at Alphaville , the arthouse geek video rental store in town. It's down in Nob Hill, and since Matewan was directed by John Sayles, they are morally obligated to maintain a copy.“
