Has a poll like this ever been done?
What hardware do you use most often for capturing analog video:
1. VIVO/AIW graphics card
2. dedicated capture card
3. dedicated capture device (canopus, etc.)
4. camcorder pass through
5. standalone DVD recorder
6. other
7. I don't bother with analog video any more

How big is the screen which you watch movies on at home:
1. 21" or less
2. 27" or less
3. 32" or less
4. 42" or less
5. 50" or less
5. 60" or less
6. more than 60"
7. I don't watch movies at home
Sorry about the English units...I don't know how they rate screen sizes in metric...Also, the gammar is bad but it's understandable

How about a Poll on how hacked off you get when you give Forum users advice and they never respond to the advice given, not a 'Thank You' or 'No that didn't work' or 'Yeah great that did the trick' etc,etc.
I've noticed that since I've been using this forum and giving advice that there are many users who take no notice of the advice you give them, they give no response at all then go and start a new thread along similar lines of the topic you have just tried to help them with.
So you just think, 'Hey why do I waste my time giving you advice if you can't be bothered to take notice of the response you get'
What do you think, and if this it a bit out of line them I apologise, just having a small rant.

Would you buy your DVD/VHS collection again on HD DVD/Blu Ray?
Yes
No
Not Sure
Who cares about HD
Depends on Price
I don't own a HD television
Only the collectables (LOTR Trilogy, Star Wars etc...)

How cheap will DVD+R DL media have to become before you'll stop shrinking your backups (from dual layer to single layer)?
1) 50-cents apiece or less
2) $1 apiece or less
3) $2 apiece or less
4) $3 apiece or less
5) I already don't shrink my backups
6) let me buy a double layer burner first, then I'll decide
You can also specify, for example, that Verbatim double layer discs are the ones that will have to drop to that price.

by the time they drop to less than a $1 apiece, we will be "shrinking" HD-DVDs to fit on a DL DVD-Rs, and waiting for recordable HD-DVDR to drop down with price hehe

I think a "rate yourself" poll based on this would be fun!

When it comes to DVDs, there are really just 3 people:
(1.) Anal retentives that insist on using the highest resolution and high bitrates, all in the hopes of retaining theoretical data that may or may not exist. Many of them just don't know any better. Some of them have a valid reason for what they do.
(2.) Normal folks that want high quality, but without getting into overkill, and without filling their house with disc after disc after disc. You can put 2-4 hours if you have the right hardware/software, and if the source allows for it. It's about slight compromises that really don't affect quality perceptions. A 3-hour DVD in Half D1 will look good from most sources most of the time. This is an optimal setting for home users. Again, assuming hardware and software allows for it.
(3.) Compressors. These people suck. They destroy video by compressing the crap out of it, and toss out huge amounts of data to make their crappy little VCDs, KVCDs/KDVDs, XVID/DVIXs and other junk. These people should lose their video privileges. Morons. |
