Re:Why is it taking this long? (Score 1)

The reason why this has been taking so long is that you need MAJOR storage, I am talking BIG, on the terabyte level. You have to understand that you cant just take a DVD and pop it into a video projector and put it on a 70 foot screen, it would look like crap and it would look pixalated and dim. You need much higher resolutions. So the storage requirements are big, plus they are bringing it down by satelite which means they need to find a way to encrypt the video which I doubt the encryption is any good, so the next generation of piracy is going to be downloading the high resolution streams from satalites and then decrypting those extreme high res videos. I really can not see how digital cinema is better than film. A well trained projectionist can make film look good. Film is an art and a lot of projectionists dont treat it this way, I should know, I use to be one and took a lot of pride in my job. We shal see how this turns out, from what I understand the resolution of the typical DCinema setup is still less then the what "would be" resolution of film. DCinema still has a long way to go, but I dont think its there yet.
