Thanks, heard of it many times. I'll have to checkout the trial.

Not so much predicting, as just wishing it, and I mean the death of DVD not Blu-ray. Hoping for Blu-ray to take its place. If (when?) it comes to distribution being "files on drives" (memory cards), the media will probably be the size of your thumbnail (like a micro SD card) and have even more storage space than BD's. If the price of cards is the same as blank disc's, I'm all for it. Either that or it all goes to the cloud and streams to the end user, but I think the consumers want to have their "thing on the shelf". On the other hand, with Netflix, iTunes and download-only games on XBOX/iPhone etc. kids are growing up without the traditional physical media we have always known. Soon they'll never even know that they are "supposed" to own a disc, everything is just there in their pocket wherever they are.

As Jeff said, you must be working in PAL. Over here it is lower field first for sure.
