The HD-VMD Conclusion - Uncovering the real stats behind this failed format

The conclusion to my HD-VMD story which started with this video https://youtu.be/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://youtu.be/07Z4iL8hy1A Q) Could you not examine the video files and see what codec was used with (insert software package here)? A) When I next get the chance I'll take another look using (insert software package here) - the VMD player isn't in this location right now. --------------- SUBSCRIBE ------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 ------------- 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://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------ Outro Sound Effect ------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/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.
