A good 4K master on UHD Blu-ray will look and sound as good as a typical digital cinema, but falling short of IMAX. Fitting, too, since this will likely be the final optical media format.
@@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane I do too and I have to agree with you all the way, I had properly taken care of them carefully all the time cause I was worried that something on the disc will never fully read the data as they run, so that is why I really had to take care of my DVDs of all times, heck i made a video about it guilding people how to properly take care of their DVDs and all, if you fully take care of your dvd disc properly, they will last forever
Much better as it was back then I'm very happy for DVD changed everything a better way to watch movies forever. Get the whole DVD movie experience relive VHS sound as it was required when it first came in theaters bye bye VHS welcome to the new future of DVD Cinema a perfect way to watch movies forever. Future is changing. Welcome to the DVD age it's going to be here forever.
Ultra 4k TVs and program content four times the resolution of Blu-ray, would make DVDs and Blu-rays obsolete. The studios and copyright holders fear that release catalog content in 4k would spell the end for them.
4:44 DVD is the format for the future.... for the next ten years and then Blu-Ray will be the format for the future.... and, another ten years after that, 4K Blu Ray will be the format for the future.... but, if you wait just another ten years after that, streaming will be better than any one of these digital mediums.
I got into DVD in May 1999, I bought discs before I had player. At the time this demo was making DVD sound cool. But, this demo does not mention the laserdisc (a format launched in 1978). This demo making that DVD sound like the last word in home theater, but we know the Blu-ray disc is the true home theater format, since DVD offers only 480p lines of resolution (blu-ray is 1080p). Yes, superior to VHS. Sony has similar material at the head of their Blu-ray discs. In fact its getting annoying.
Sony technically didn't make the Blu-Ray, it was coincidentally made by a company called Blu-Ray Disc. Oh, by the way, VHS DID come in HD, 1080i to be exact. It was called D-VHS.
@@user-dv2hc8zt3o It's a little more complicated than that. The format that was released in 1978 had top-loading machines with only analog audio and no chapter select. MCA called it DiscoVision, Magnavox called it MagnaVision, and Philips called it LaserVision, but it was ultimately branded as LaserDisc when Pioneer pushed the format forward in the late '80s by adding digital audio, carrying the name "CD-Video" for a brief early period. By the mid-'90s, the format already had Dolby Digital and DTS.
The only reason why DVDs are still being made is one maybe people don't have the money to buy Blu-ray and 2 To put TV shows in format like Spongebob and Big Bang Theory!
Most blu rays are as cheap as DVD now so there's no excuse to keep using DVD. I think people are just being stubborn and not wanting to change. Blu ray kicks DVD's ass in picture and sound if you have a really good HD monitor!
@@NintendoDude888 What do you mean? All you need is an HD/or 4K tv which are the standard tvs now and a lot cheaper nowadays, an HDMI cable and that's it! True, DVDS can be played on any standard def tv but it's not difficult to set up/ play blu rays anymore either.
DVD is still going strong
Yup 👍🏽👍🏽😉😉
Damn right will keep on collecting dvd till it's officially dead like VHS
@@willyperez2475 Yup!
r/vhs
Yes, along with DVD-9.
(EDIT: Some of the DVD movies I bought were DVD-9.)
NO WAY!!!!!! I'M BUYING ONE OF THESE...
THE SAME
BRUH
Beware of Y2K bug on DVD players
lol
I think I saw the first DVD demo in 1997. I knew this was probably the most important innovation in home video!
“Now movies look the way they were meant to look”. In 2020 marketing companies are still saying the same thing about the latest tech.

@@andrewparke1764 I think it looks better than the theater.

I remember seeing this on a tube TV in Circuit City, then they cut their own throat with the DiVX pay-as-you-throw disc.

This predates the Sony PlayStation 2 Computer Entertainment System, which the PS2 is the first game console to play DVDs.
@@NintendoDude888 Nuon? Doesn't ring a bell.
@@The_Husband_of_Jane_Lane because it is an obscure failed game console
@@markusTegelane Go figure.
I remember seeing this at an electronics store over 10 years ago!
Now even more time has passed since your comment.
Now that was 24 years ago…
"twice as sharp as a vcr" well, s-vhs was about twice as sharp as a vhs.
S-VHS had roughly the quality of LaserDisc, just short of DVD.
I used this for my channel image :)
DVD is not durable in fact it magically scratches
How to basic Sony selling DVD in the 1990s at the time Blu Ray was in development.
That's because they do not take care of them properly. I own DVDs and I know how to take care of them properly.
I have had DVD discs become unreadable but I never had issues with Blu Ray.

Omg DVD’s is still being sold at Walmart and Best Buy!!!!!
I have this exact same Sony DVD demo disc!
Looking at the transitions and patterns in the background...
That represents the bumps on the discs themselves.
Glad I adopted DVD & Blu Ray discs
So Sharp picture

I can't wait to upgrade to DVD. My VHS tapes are getting worn out.
Same.
I actually had this demo disc. I got it from the fry electronics I used to work at in Garland, Texas.
It's wild seeing comments from more than 10yrs ago saying they remember this from more than 10yrs ago, so over 20yrs ago
2:10 'What the CD did for music, DVD does better (DVD-Audio).'
Imagine if this is the only piece of media left of human history
3:45 You mean I don't have to rewind a DVD? What a surprise.
introduction
I actually have this Sony DVD demo disc
Anyone knows the background music? Track ID!?
Now it's the same thing for streaming.
Sad that most recent DVDs features are gone so the Studios make you have to buy the Blu-ray or 4k Blu-ray
Who still uses DVDs?
Get something newer, like Blu-ray
Or something that is worth collecting, like VHS.

4k will destroy the ozone layer and contribute to global cooling. ;)
databits . Regarding the video: was their more to the demo, like video clips, music videos, trailers and test material like color bars?
DVD has CSS
Christopher Livingston 1080p Blu Ray not obsolete but DVD is.
GamingGuy800 Well people have yet to upgrade to Blu ray disc because that stupid format war with HDDVD.

Okay DVD, let's see you record Who's the Boss. Checkmate DVD-ists!
What movie is this from?
The movie shown in this demonstration video is called Air Force One, a film by Columbia Pictures.

@@Mariofans-gn1lu I was quoting a Regular Show episode lol. I don't really think VHS is better than DVD

VHS - in some ways superior TO ALL OF THIS.

Eh, I stay with LaserDisc
