Personally I'm hoping Microsoft's project silica takes off and replaces blurays. Having worked in a movie theater, I can tell you the files on blurays aren't the same ones that get played at a theater. Same resolution and framerate (probably), but dramatically higher bit depth (though I dunno if you could tell the difference normally). This could be a way of releasing master quality recordings for home use.
IDK what Project Silica is, but I don't want Microsoft in charge of the future of physical media. That experimental multi terabyte disc standard should be where physical media goes next.
I mean, iirc, Blu-ray was originally Sony's thing; VHS was JVC. Most formats were something a company came up with and then became so widely used that people thought they just sprung out of the ether.
The multi-terabyte disc thing sounds neat. Project Silica is the sci-fi crystal data cube thing, where they vaporize tiny bits of crystal with a laser to write data, and then read it back with a laser as well. I like the idea of project silica more just because "muh sci-fi data cubes", but discs capable of holding terabytes of storage would be sweet.
