Re: [VFB] Nice u-tube fly demoIn answer to your question. I don't know if this
will help or not, but we rent Videos from Netflix, and 99% of those are all
regular DVD, Not DVD-HD or Blue Ray. That tells me that at least for the next
few years, DVD will still be around in vast numbers. Plus, normally, you can go
down but you cannot go up, meaning that a DVD player will NOT play DVD-HD or
BlueRay, but I (THINK) that DVD-HD will play DVD plain, and Blue Ray will
probably play both the other two..Plain as mud???? LOL.. HTH, Chuck

Subject: [VFB] Was U-tube demo, then rot. vice, now CD technology- new thread
LOL, that's me, too. I have rotary capability on my Dyna-King, but I just
don't use it. Learned to tie without rotary, so it's just an add-on
capability. Very few of my flies need rotary assistance, since I tie few flies
that need spinning, and the ones that need spinning can easily be done by
hand-spinning. What I need is a bull-dog grip and a firm foundation to build
patterns that have defined tops and bottoms.
I'll be meeting today with the videographer, so I'll be one step closer to
making fly-tying cd's. So do I go High Definition or Blue Ray? Was told that
HD lost out to BR like Beta lost out to VHS. Now both Beta and VHS are gone.
Do I get rid of my HD player now- I have lots of movies and stuff in HD? Do I
buy a HD video camera (if the players phase out?), or Blue Ray camera for the
coming technology? Is Blue-ray just for movies? But if it takes a different
player, why not dual players like the VHS/CD players. Again, it seems the
collateral damage of the technology wars is my checkbook, along with the losing
tecnology.
This is flyfishing related, because after I have 2 or 3 videos 'in the can'
from a professional, I want to start filming my own, thus I need to buy the
equipment. But if the viewing public has 3 or 4 viewing technologies, which
one do I film in and make the investment? Are Blue-rays reproducible? DO THEY
PLAY ON COMPUTERS? Do they convert to other technologies or play on lesser
machines? Are there copyright/security programs for them to stop pirating?
Would it be better to film in the older technology for the majority that have
CD libraries already?
Audio:
I still have a record-player and a huge library of vinyl records.
I still have a box-full of 8-tracks, but no player.
I still have boxes and boxes of cassetts, and one or two players.
I have lots of audio cd's and players
My wife now has an i-pod.
Video:
I still have many VHS tapes and one player (no Beta)
I have many video cd's
We have started a library of HD DVD movies.
Yes, the new technologies are better, but that doesn't justify destroying a
library of the previous technology. But since this isn't primarily for
personal use, what video technology do I provide as a retail business? I guess
this is a marketing question, isn't it.
I'm in the learning mode here, so any advice would be appreciated and used.

Thanks, Iain. Lots of good videos on that site.
But look at him. He spent all that hard-earned money (at least it would
have been in my case) to get a high-end rotary vise and then doesn't use it
except to examine the fly AFTER it's done.
