James Cameron to Shoot 'Avatar' Sequels at Higher Frame Rates, Aiming for 'Reality' (Switched)

Apr 25th 2011 4:21AM @Dr_white

I swear, every time high framerates are mentioned, there's always someone who claims that "the human eye" cannot possibly perceive beyond 30 fps. I work with computer graphics and use all kinds of video sources and I can tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps ALL THE TIME. I'm not alone either. Maybe your eyes (or rather, your brain) can't see properly?

HD DVD outsold Blu-ray 4 to 1 last year...in England (Engadget HD)

Feb 25th 2007 9:27AM Are you running out of ideas to keep spreading FUD? You just don't know what else to do to keep getting hits, do you Engadget?

Get over it: Blu-ray's winning, HD-DVD's failing and the situation keeps looking like it is not going to change.

Blu-ray basically owns HD-DVD in terms of support. But I guess you just hate Blu-ray for the sake of hating something.

Toshiba's triple-layer HD DVD / DVD discs (Engadget)

Sep 11th 2006 10:22AM There has been a BD-25 / DVD9 disc in the works for a while now. Needless to say consumers and publishers should prefer to have and release content in DVD9 and BD25 quality rather than in DVD5 (obsolete for movies) and HD-DVD30.

HD-DVD will have no advantages over Blu-ray in the end, not even price.

First PS3 interface video walkthrough (Engadget)

Aug 21st 2006 3:25PM That's NOT the interface that the users will be using.

This is it: http://e3videos.killerrabbits.net/e3-2006-ps3-dashboard.mov

It has way, way more options and features than the one shown by Engadget here, which is the interface for the development kits. The linked one was shown at E3 this year, which means that it's not complete either.

HDMI port coming to the Xbox 360? (Engadget)

Jul 9th 2006 1:05PM "Sorry Hmmmm, you're the one that doesn't know what you are talking about.

DVI can do 1080p50/60 as well."

I didn't say it couldn't. I just said HDMI 1.3 >> DVI, and that component can't do 1080p60. Just tell me where exactly I denied DVI-I could do 1080p60 or that it was inferior to HDMI 1.1

HDMI port coming to the Xbox 360? (Engadget)

Jul 8th 2006 4:33PM Farley, you have no idea what you're talking about.

HDMI 1.3 is way superior to DVI-I. It provides more than double the bandwidth HDMI 1.1 did and it will simply become the standard over DVI in the next few years. PS3 will use HDMI 1.3 to provide up to 48 bit colour for Blu-ray playback and, to name an application. Future-proofing is the main reason.

Component could do 1080p30, but not 1080p60. HDMI can do 1080p60 and go much beyond.

And current HDMI cables can carry HDMI 1.3.

Primera intros first Blu-ray pirating, er... duplication system (Engadget)

Jun 22nd 2006 5:40PM HD-DVD doesn't stand a chance against the support Blu-ray already has. I don't believe we'll see Blu-ray dominating the market anytime soon (even though I expect it to be an interesting backup solution soon enough), but there is absolutely no reason that makes me think HD-DVD could win given the circumstances.

Sony turns 60 (Engadget)
