The new Kubrick collection is entirely new. It replaces the older one. More "bonus features", and several of the movies now have anamorphic transfers, like 2001. You're right about the other two movies, though. There are tons of DVDs that already have this RCE stuff.
Sorry, I've been using the OpenDivX code since day one, as well as SBC through Nandub, etc, etc, etc.. It's all still far far from being usable on a large display, like a TV.
The 2GB AVI file size limit is dead. OpenDML killed that problem off.
My intermediate files for SVHS output are routinely over 30GB each, single AVI files.
I think what he was getting at is an entirely optical computer, not just an optical bus slapped onto a conventional PC. If you work with photons the whole way, there's no need to convert "Voltage -> Light -> Voltage", etc, etc.
Agreed.. Using fiber to connect your video card to a current-day PC would be dumb.
HDTV won't really take off until we start seeing "HD-DVD" on the market. Who cares if you can see the pores on the faces of the guests on Power Lunch on CNBC.. Enthusiasts want a better movie experience, and enthusiasts drive the market.

I'd bet good money that over 50% of the college students in the U.S. have never heard of any of the people you mentioned.
Doesn't Kolibri mean "Hummingbird?"
Learned that from the old Genesis game. Possibly the best hummingbird-based shooter ever. =)
I've never had a cop ask me why I was speeding. They just ask to see my license, and then give me a ticket.
Well.. Maybe Samsung can catch the thieves when they send in their warranty registration card?

TiVo didn't put that connector on there just to be irritating. It's on the PowerPC reference board from IBM that they designed the TiVo around.
I was being sarcastic, but thanks for the link.
You're right. A PC without Linux on it wouldn't be useful to anyone.
We don't have any swampy grassland left in Florida. We've drained it all to grow sugar cane.
Actually, products that let you record DTV streams do exist:

Didn't you read last week's story?
Your privacy rights exist to the extent that you can defend them, and not beyond.

High-bitrate LAME MP3s sound great. High bitrate DivX files still suck. Max out the bitrate slider, and it still looks like crap compared to a DVD.

Sure, someone invented those concepts, but it wasn't these guys.
I didn't say it was easy, or coming soon. Heh.
Well, then what he was getting at is dumb. Heh.

So, what IS his role in the big picture?
You make an interesting point.. What do you propose?
I was afraid of that, so I didn't mention the possibility.
Naah. I have a SprintPCS StarTAC as well, and the coverage is awful. I just wish it worked better indoors..
Linux companies couldn't afford to hire him. Heh.
