You’ve got to admit: the “spinning silver thing” has become familiar with consumers (when I say consumer, I mean the people at home).

If you’re a videographer and some wants their wedding in HD, I would definitely give them the BD option. If you’re and independent film maker, it wouldn’t hurt to distribute on BD.

However, if you work for a production company, who deal with television commercials and the like, I believe BD may not be the option to go with. If I create a commercial for a client, it gets uploaded to a password protect portion of my site for the client to preview (I like Flash, but have been experimenting with Silverlight and it’s not too bad). If they like the product and want it to air on the local television or cable insertion, I will send it on a requested format. I’ve never had a broadcast facility ask for a DVD or a BD.

That being said, BD is the best way to watch all of your favorite movies, and it is FAR from dead. HD-DVD, on the other hand…. well you know.

Bob,

Thanks for your reply. I want to point out that I’m not looking for “cheap.” I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good rackmount unit.

Thanks again,
Brent

Thanks. That’s what I thought, but I figured I would see if anyone had any additional insight.

Thanks,
Brent
