Generation High Definition DVDs
06/23/2004 10:36 AM

Apple today announced that the DVD Forum has ratified the H.264 Advanced Video Codec (AVC) to be included in the next generation High Definition (HD) DVD format. The H.264/AVC codec was jointly developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and has been ratified into the MPEG-4 specification as the next-generation video codec. H.264/AVC is based on open standards and will ship in Apple's QuickTime software in an upcoming release next year.

times_uhdv.jpg imageHey, who told the Times' Circuits section about something interesting? You made us miss a incisive column they were going to write about why spam is bad how some people like the iPod. Instead, we got this profile of Japanese broadcaster NHK's work to develop Ultra High Definition Video (UHDV), the 7,680 by 4,320 pixel resolution television standard that aims to hit 'as good as really there' levels of visual fidelity (you know, the kind of quality so good that it makes people puke from watching it. The awesome kind, I'm saying.) Take that massive resolution, add a 60 frame per second refresh and 22 channels of surround sound ("10 speakers at ear level, 9 above and 3 below, with another 2 for low frequency effects") and you end up with video files that end up taking up 3.5 terabytes of storage for just 18 minutes of footage. Don't expect UHDV anytime soon, of course. NHK started developing HDTV, which is just now taking hold, in the 1960s. (Thanks, Jeffrey!)

The show of support from Microsoft is considered a boost for the next-generation, blue-laser DVD technology, which is promoted by Japanese conglomerates NEC and Toshiba. Blue light, with a shorter wavelength than the red laser used in conventional DVD recorders, can read and store data at the higher densities needed for high-definition recordings.

roomlink.jpg imageKeeping with the fresh announcements of new Vaio desktops and laptops today, Sony has also announced a new version of their "RoomLink" network media player, the VGP-MR100. Because the RoomLink requires Vaio Media Server to be installed on a the host PC, users without a Vaio still seem to be up the creek without a paddle; but those of you who happen to own one will likely enjoy its seamless integration.

Connecting by either plain old Ethernet cable or 802.11b/g, the new RoomLink has added support for playback of HD content (up to 1080i), and now also features compliance with DLNA guidelines (DLNA, "Digital Living Network Alliance," is an industry effort to standardize media communications across home networks). Sony has most likely chosen to throw in the HD support because of the release of their consumer-level HD camera, the HDR-FX1.

Besides these two new features, it looks to be the same RoomLink — it still plays MPEG-1/2/4 (and DivX) and WMV video, ATRAC3 and MP3 audio, and your standard run of image formats.

I've been meaning to get this up online for the last couple of weeks but keep getting distracted. While I was up in Norfolk for Christmas it started snowing insanely hard and I almost accidentally got about fifteen seconds of it on video. So for your total lack of interest, here's the view from my bedroom window as the snow comes down (.avi 3.9Mb). I find it strangely soothing.
