This isn't spam, i have nothing to do with this company, I just read this post on a webmaster board and checked it out. Microsoft is attempting to set the standard for HD-DVD encoding with their WindowsMedia9 technology. SurferPictures.com You can download some clips to check out the quality, though I read some more about the technology and it said if you're using a CRT monitor you won't see much of a difference.

Looks like this production company is in Hawaii, pretty locations. I'd like to see some gonzo using this technology, i don't watch porn to see white sand beaches and palm trees.

One thing struck me when checking these movies out, sunrise
Adams and Jenna Haze are in one of them. Aren't these two girl contract girls?

Also, for the time being, the WindowsMedia9 HD-DVD format will only work on Windows PC's, you can't play them on your home DVD player yet though somebody posted that there is one DVD player now that can play them.

The newest release of Terminator 2 has a WM9 HD version of the movie. It got good reviews. Most people watched it on their PC's, which is not necessarily a fair comparison to other versions of existing HD programming (like D-VHS) because of the small screen size of PC's compared to the big screen HDTV's that most HD owners have.

However, smart money is going with blue laser for HD-DVD over red laser with additional compression (which is what WM9 is).

you're welcome Saki!

good article. can you explain what the 24p digital cameras are and how much they cost? there is a new Panasonic camera i hear people talking about that supposedly shoots video that is 'film like'.

i kinda agree with you that this film-ish rich look might not look right with gonzo. Though the RLD movies dont have a grungy raw edgy gonzo look to them. And u can shoot with the best most expensive 35 or 75 mm film cameras and get a raw 'amateur' look to a movie if that's what you want.

As for Playboy saying that there is a case to be made that when you're dealing with nude bodies there is such a thing as too much definition. There are all sorts of tricks mainstream Hollywood cinematographers use to make people look pretty when their faces are in close-up three stories tall so that wrinkles, blemishes etc aren't so noticeable.

The more tools the better, it's up to creative people to use them to their best effect.

Yes, but even Hollywood is trying to grapple with the HD problem.

Considering that the girls in gonzo shoots frequently do their own makeup, the time and expense of using makeup airbrushing just to look good enough under the digital lens might be a problem.

for the time being? .. don't kid yourself... as usual microsoft is trying to push a proprietary format as a standard.. of course they must be on their knees praying the porn industry will adopt the standard.. free now but they will eventually let their lawyers loose to squeeze license payments from all users.
