The SPOILERIFIC Ask Robert Wolfe Thread-The Series, in General
RinA:
I really hope it isn't Sony's new format because then I couldn't play the discs. We have a projector system hooked up to computer and our dvd player *hates* the Sony format. At least I'm not alone, Netflix says numerous customers have the same problem I do. The studios have gotten so paranoid that they're losing revenue. *sighs*

I don't think Sony's making the Dresden Files DVD's. Pretty sure it's Lionsgate. They're the ones that make the show, and the press release about the DVD's came from them.

The compression algorithms for that would give very poor image quality. 3-4 eps a disc is needed. So that would be three discs for the episodes alone, plus a bonus features disk.

I'd thought about that, too. They say it's 530 minutes, too, which makes me wonder whether there will truly be the 2 hour pilot, as there's barely enough room for 12 episodes in that time frame....

Are you talking about Blue Ray discs? If so then it has nothing to do with paranoia and everything to do with fitting more on a single disc. Also, these aren't meant to work in standard DVD players. Everyone will need a new player to use next generation media.

Perhaps the 530 is reference to the standard episodes only?
The Dark Shadows (1991) DVD set is 3 dvds containing approximately 600 minutes worth of episodes, no extras beyond that though.
