Blu-ray Disc will never win mass appeal - we"ll all be buying out HD movies on Flash cards instead. That, at least, is the verdict of THX Chief Scientist Laurie Fincham. Fincham"s comments come by way of UK magazine Home Cinema Choice, relayed by website DVD Town. Says Fincham: "I think it"s too late for Blu-ray. I think consumers will only become interested in replacing DVD when HD movies becomes available on flash memory.
"By the time Blu-ray really finds a mass market, we will have 128GB cards," he says. "I would guess that getting studios to supply movies on media cards, or offer downloads, will be a lot easier than getting them to sign up to support a disc format.
