gamestooge.com — Tech UK is reporting a startling new disc storage technology that could end the HD war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray: the Tera-Disc. How much data? On a 1TB disc, you could store 212 DVD-quality movies, 250,000 MP3 files or 1,000,000 large Word documents. Holy flarging snit!

But what realistically is going to take up that much space other than extremely high end movies and games? Oh and your an idiot.

They may have an idea how, but that doesn't mean they always make the effort to get the best encoding vs getting the title out the door faster than the guys using higher compressed formats.

The VC-1 codec is quite capable, and like I said, there are people tweaking the compression at every point in the film, they don't just run it through an automated program. I'm aware Zip isn't lossy but the point is that compression isn't NECESSARILY lossy, and with enough care even lossy codecs like VC-1 can shrink the video size considerably while remaining nearly identical to the master.

Yes, why was patik dugg up? Obviously he hasn't seen 50 year old films like Casablanca which look absolutely gorgeous when remastered from the original negatives...

Exactly, although Gates never said that(which you stated)Gates,and anyone semi smart about computer knows no amount of storage will ever be enough.
