It's no contest really, Blu-ray is the only format that doesn't have limitations on both hi-rez audio and video. Embrace it--do not be afraid!!
But I can't play it in my car.
so, your approach sort of "i don't care how many listeners can acces high quality surround sound titles,
thus joining surround audio market as a consumer, if i cannot play those particular format in my car".
no wonder why surround has such hard way to the mass market, if ones, who consider themselves to be
loyal to surround, can't sacrifice own convenience for good of the surround sound on bigger scale.
that's sad
Aren't there BD players for cars? Besides, it's not that hard to rip the wavs to burn onto a DVDA for car playback. Another issue I have with with car playback is not wanting to carry around original discs--the copies had watermarks preventing hi-rez playback. I don't think cars will save surround because playback is not ideal there.english? not even a third language
i don't look to offend you or anyone on the personal level.
just like to have a chance to buy HiRes surround in quantity more than handful per year
and from much wider selection of artists and genres.
at present the cars with installed surround system doesn't have big influence, but on condition
of bigger sales of surround titles, manufacturers obviously will offer hardware which is able to play BD in cars
Agreed. I never fully populated the 6disc changer in my old car but my new one accepts SD cards, flash drives, portable HD and has an HD resident. No surround but it better suits my needs than any disc-based system ever did or will. (It also has a DVD/CD player but that's not likely to be used.)Aren't there BD players for cars?

that's a good point. Why not have usb as well in our cars (I have a car DVDA player with USB capability). USB could easily support 5.1 playback of files such flac, etc. Let's go digital file playback in the car!Agreed.
