[Guest]

Researchers at the University of Warwick revealed a project that provides videos in high-dynamic range (HDR).

Finally, my video card can be utilized!

Give me the full color range full HD and full sound with a size of about 8-20 gigs for a 2 hour video.

Well... guess we will see how this works out.

What is its use ? High quality HDR full HD 3D surveillance? :lol:

buying a new 3tb hdd for every movie...fail

the researchers said that they are working on a compression technology that is expected to reduce the video size by a factor of 100

so a 3TB video file would become a 3GB. that would be wicked. gotta love progress

Nope, 30GB. Somebody skipped math class.

Not reading article and using that asinine word... _ _ _ _.

3TB for a 70minute video is nuts, but the tech looks promising.

HDR sucks in games, it eat FPSs and its fugly... Whats the point of this?

Their math is quite off:

42MB for one image
Avg framerate of video is 24fps
Sooo
42MB(24fps)(60sec/min)=59.06 GB for 1 min of video
Avatar is 171 minutes on the extended edition
59.06 GB(171minutes) = 10099.7 GB = 9.86 TB
At 128GB a disc for Blu Ray XL that would require 79 discs for one movie.

And that is at the lowest framerate commonly recorded for film and video. Increase to higher rates means more frames and more space, meaning more discs needed. The next one up is 29.9 FPS which means we'd need roughly 20% more space, which means an additional 16'ish BDXL.

That compression method better work wonders to make this consumer friendly.

Most games' HDR involve blown highlights, ultra bright lights, etc.

Actual HDR photography involves getting all the proper shades without blowing the highlights.

I imagine they'd look like something from photography rather than games.
