actually... those are really old purely analog formats  Tongue


35mm actually was the film the camera recorded, that's the film type you had to splice together to make edits!

and laserdisc was from 1978 to 2001 you still had the conversion process but it's probably the closest you'll get to a "lossless" video type


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - June 25th, 2017

hey here's another thought, what about LCD's vs LED's for screens?

like which one looks better in your opinion... since holograms aren't really a thing yet for 3D video stuffs.

Sometimes, LCDs look so real they look fake.

Does that make sense?

Imma say go back to the good 'ole classic CRTs Big Grin


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - June 28th, 2017

CRT's are great right? such high video refresh rates  Tongue

120 htz easy before it was a thing lol.

now I sorta want a 1080p CRT  Big Grin


RE: MP3s vs CDs - brian51 - June 28th, 2017

I am forgetting now what CRT's were exactly, sorry ?

Cathode Ray Tubes. 

Old-schoole 'tube' tv.

in a way they were superior to our LCD's however the technology of the time couldn't really take advantage of their theoretical frame rate limits, once again analog > digital in this case.

Going to dig this one up.

MP3's are the standard, but inferior to OGG and FLAC.

in our post modern era, I want to play music in RAW format recorded to storage crystals or MDiscs which have shelf lives in the thousands of years.

something I can slot in and have it be read by a laser.

something like this.

Nowaday's it's obviously mp3s.

I'm all about that flac life though.


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - August 17th, 2019

Tongue MP3's may be the standard but just wait until a better format comes along... I hear AAC, FLAC, and OGG are equally popular Tongue I'm a vorbis guy myself.

OGG is just a container for codecs like Vorbis. Vorbis can be encoded in .ogg files.


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - August 17th, 2019

I know  Wink  Still I prefer it over FLAC audio quality wise.


RE: MP3s vs CDs - brian51 - August 18th, 2019

I just follow your advice in these kinda tech matters , Spook


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - August 23rd, 2019

@ Brian: MP3 is fine for most things, FLAC and OGG/Vorbis are higher quality but less used formats and ideal for like recordings or getting crystal clear audio.
but the difference is so small most people wouldn't notice lol.


RE: MP3s vs CDs - Thomas - August 24th, 2019

OGG/Vorbis realistically isn't used for getting crystal clear audio. Vorbis is lossy like MP3s. FLAC is lossless and is the best encoding solution when space isn't a concern.


RE: MP3s vs CDs - SpookyZalost - August 24th, 2019

the future in reality is raw bits without needing a codec lol.

crystal discs with bits suspended in 3D tracks
