720p, 1080i, Oh My..


There seems to be much talk and confusion regarding certain resolutions of HDTVs. CNET.com has posted this article that really helps to explain this. I personally have a 720p/1080i set, and I think it is just fine. If I had a bigger HDTV, say 50" or larger, then a 1080p set would make more sense. Frame rates also come heavily into play, with Panasonic recently introducing a true 24 fps plasma HDTV. 24 frames per second most accurately captures the "cadence" of film.

When creating content for Blu-Ray here at GLMT, we can output to any resolution desired. Of course, the results depend on the way the footage was shot and edited.
Experience Blu: Quantum of Solace


The reviews are in for the new Bond flick Quantum of Solace and it should yield brisk Blu-ray Disc sales. The intent of Experience Blu articles will be to highlight a Blu-ray experience worthy of your valuable time.

VideoBusiness.com states in its review the "Blu-ray presentation looks exceptional, even in the dark and mostly static scenes, and the DTS-HD mix enhances the fun, particularly during an airplane chase. "

GLMT.com is promoting Blu-ray as it is an opportunity to differentiate your company in tradeshow and event presentations. GLMT.com offers a full suite of authoring and encoding options for your these type of applications.

DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Downloading Stop Fighting... Consumer Satisfaction Follows!



Everybody seems to pit optical media formats versus something. DVD vs. Digital Downloading. DVD vs. Blu-ray. Blu-ray vs. YouTube. ENOUGH FIGHTING!!! It is confusing everybody. It looks as though Hollywood is going to mediate a peaceful resolution. The Disney movie Bolt will be released in a package that contains a DVD, a Blu-ray Disc, and a Digital Copy.



When I buy a movie, I want it to work on everything. I want it to work on my phone, my blu-ray player, my DVD player. For once in the last 5 years, I think the industry is doing itself a favor. Plus, disc manufacturers like GLMT should be salivating over the opportunity.
