The New Contenders of the Format Wars: AD-DVD
Lately, there has been a lot of sparring about the latest DVD formats. There is HD-DVD, supported by Microsoft and Toshiba, and Blu-Ray, supported by Sony and Disney, among others. But I want to be the first to introduce (and support) the newest format: AD-DVD. What is AD-DVD? Simply, it's video for those who can't pay attention. All of the best scenes are compressed, sped up by a factor of two, and then played continuously for five minutes. In this fashion, people get the plot of the movie, and some of the funniest scenes, in chipmunk voices, and they aren't wasting time. For example, the 300 version: the "This is Sparta!" scene, followed up by, "Tonight, we dine, in Hell!", repeated. The audio and video quality is the same as a standard DVD, and can be created using the same means as a DVD. The upside is that it is cheaper. The first retailer for this new format will be exclusively sold at the upcoming YouTube store.
