NEW: Sony Hi-MD Walkman Players - MZ-EH70 and MZ-EH50

[garcou]

hmm, i wonder, can hi-md support the datarate needed to play back a video?

HIMD discs can record 0.5MB/s (4000kbps) and playback 0.7MB/s (5700kbps) datarate: it corresponds to high definition mpeg4 video or SQ mpeg2 (standard quality used by dvd recorders).

Only HQ mpeg2 is impossible ( premium High quality with dvd recorders).

Sony could make himd video recorder/camcorder, no problem. (15 min of mpeg2 SQ video on ane Hi-md, or 30 min mpeg2 LQ , 3 hours of good divx 6.0 video)
