The conclusion to my HD-VMD story which started with this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Z4iL8hy1A I've recently received a commercially released movie on a real VMD. This means I can now comment on the video quality as well as well as do some more detailed investigations to discover things such as the true video bitrate and the maximum capacity of a disc. FAQs Q) Did you try playing the VMD files in VLC? A) VLC WILL NOT PLAY THE FILES FROM THE VMD - THE VMD FILES MAKE VLC HANG. This is an identical result to that shown in part one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Z4iL8hy1A Since making the video I’ve examined the VMD files in a piece of software called MediaInfo and here are the results. Lucky Number Slevin MPEG2 13.4 Mb/s Variable Bit Rate 1920x1080 Interlaced 16:9 25fps So that’s the same as the bitrate I calculated manually. By comparison - the sharper looking Lazy Town disc give these results MPEG2 21.5 Mb/s Constant Bit Rate 1920x1080 Interlaced 16:9 25fps So what extra things does this tell us that I didn't already cover in the video? Well if MediaInfo is reporting this correctly the movie codec is MPEG2 not VC-1 and also the resolution is 1080i. -------------- SUBSCRIBE ----------------- null ------------ Merchandise ---------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch ------------ SUPPORT -------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan ******Patrons usually have early access to videos****** --------- Outro Music ---------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSSswVZSgJw ----- Outro Sound Effect ----- ThatSFXGuy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5M3-ZV5-QDM ----- AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE ------ All links are Affiliated where possible.

A) Patrons https://www.patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version.
