"Philips also had their own video format that failed: V2000. It failed
because they refused to rent porn tapes."
The whole video tape thing might have never gotten anywhere if it were not for
porn. That's a fact. The original tapes that were available for sale/rental were
porn. There's a case where what some people might consider vulgar, offensive,
immoral or what ever, brought upon the availability of people being able to watch
the greatest movies ever made. Right in their homes, when they want, with no
commercials and uncut. With DVDs we are now seeing alternate versions of movies on
the same disc.
I personally don't have an opinion about so called porn. There is a time and a
place for almost everything. If it offends you don't watch it. But don't tell
others what to do as you sit there watching the Sound of Music (which you could have
never seen uncut with no commercials if it were not for X rated videos).
Getting off of the MD topic, sorry. I would love to see the results of a
prerecorded MD vs CD test. I seriously doubt that if all the other factors are
equal most people could hear the difference between a well produced and recorded MD
and a CD.
I make all of my MDs using digital connections. But when I first got my MZ-1 I had
to wait for the optical cable to come in. So I made some discs in analog. I find
it impossible to tell which are which using headphones. This is not to say that I
don't recommend people use digital connections. But sometimes I wonder if most
people can hear the difference.
I think that it comes down to the equipment that you are using. On a set of $40
headphones, I don't think you could tell. But maybe on a very high end system with
top of the line Polk speakers for example you can.
