sfbp Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 I read this with great interest 10 months ago when it was announced. But not a dicky-bird since then. Analysis: it takes more than a startup company and a good idea to make a market for a technology. Ask Sony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippeb Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Anybody know what happened to ... wait for it ..... minidisc video? I have a Sony DCM-M1 minidisc movie camera and I really enjoy filming and editing with it. It feels exactly like a good old Super 8 camera, thanks to its beautiful casing. It offers all the usual minidisc editing capabilities (divide, combine, erase, move, even copy, which replaces undo). Plus basic video editing features like sub-titling, fading in and out, changing colors to sepia or black & white. It is also an excellent sound recorder/player that hold more of five hours of ATRAC 4.5 SP. What a pity that Sony completely failed to market it (IMHO, partly because they never released its companion video recorder home deck).

Still, can't say that MiniDisc didn't give it a go, can we? Now, where's my MD-coffee machine ... mdmad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippeb Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Ahh!, you've deflated my discovery! I do not think so. Sony tried and failed. Others could/should revive the technology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
