			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have tried to finish watching Traffic several times before but it turned out that I just turned on my DVD player and then sat back on the sofa killing about three hours aimlessly. Then I would wonder what Steven Soderbergh, the director of this movie and also one of the biggest film makers in Hollywood, was doing after his two &#8220;Ocean´s Eleven&#8221; sequels.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" title="trffic" src="http://www.mediacircus.net/traffic______1.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="342" /></p>
<p>On a long trip, I would also watch this movie to kill the immense time. Yes, pretty sure, don’t be puzzled. I just <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com"><em><strong>rip and convert</strong></em> </a>the original DVDs with a DVD ripper which is<a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com"><em><strong> available online</strong></em></a>. I just<em><strong> <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/download/its-dvd-ripper.exe">download and install</a> </strong></em>that <em><strong> <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/dvd-ripper/index.html">iToolSoft DVD Ripper</a></strong></em><a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/dvd-ripper/index.html"> </a>free on my computer and add the DVDs into this program, then choose the target video format. Everything is ok, just wait the conversion to be finished in a short time.<span id="more-88"></span><br />
let’s come back to the movie. &#8220;Traffic&#8221; is the kind of story that is very hard to describe in the limited space of a Blu-ray review. Essentially, Robert Wakefield (Michael Douglas) is appointed by the president to be the new Drug Czar. He is to spearhead the war on drugs and turn the tide in the losing battle. However, drugs find themselves invading his own household and he must face problems in his own home while he is looking into problems in Mexico and abroad. Javier Rodriguez (Benicio Del Toro) is a Mexican policeman who works above the law when necessary, but finds himself being pulled in by the DEA to help fight the problems of drugs. Montel Gordon (Don Cheadle) and Ray Castro (Luis Guzman) are DEA agents who are assigned to run surveillance on the home of a notorious drug runner. His wife Helena (Catherine Zeta-Jones) is struggling with the realization of her husband´s problems and having to deal with them while he is incarcerated. Arnie Metzger (Dennis Quaid) is her lawyer and her husband´s friend.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone" title="traffic" src="http://img2.timeinc.net/ew/img/review/010601/traffic_l.jpg" alt="" width="462" height="271" /></p>
<p>The story is convoluted. It is deep. Compared to &#8220;Crash,&#8221; &#8220;Traffic&#8221; is far more complex and where the Best Picture winner dealt with racism and how people handle racism based upon changing situations and environments, &#8220;Traffic&#8221; tries to tackle the ineptitude of the war on drugs. Where it may not be as socially controversial as the themes in &#8220;Crash,&#8221; it is a more complex problem to bring to the screen. The amount of exposition and background information required to set up events and situations is enormous. You can´t simply assume that a Mexican police officer can be both corrupt and a good cop with one simple scene. You need a few situations to bring background and life to the character. It is far easier to show that a cop is racist with a simple highway pullover. I´m not knocking &#8220;Crash,&#8221; I enjoyed that film tremendously, but I feel it is far more accessible to the general public and an easier pill to swallow than the deep and detailed &#8220;Traffic.&#8221;</p>
<p>Characters develop as the plot thickens. Robert Wakefield must come to terms with his daughter´s addiction and it affects how he handles his job as the Drug Czar. Javier finds himself questioning his own role in policework and challenging himself to take a larger role in the war against drugs and putting him in a more distinguished crossfire. The largest character arc is that of Catherine Zeta-Jones character. She must move beyond being the pregnant housewife and start to run the business left behind by her husband. Where Helena is frantic and vulnerable when her husband is first nabbed by the DEA, she becomes perhaps even more brutal and vicious in her resolve than her husband. As characters are faced more increasingly difficult and painful situations, their attitudes change and their views towards their vocation and beliefs are challenged.</p>
<p>Apart from the movie itself, the actors and actresses are also one attracting point. Don Cheadle is  my favorite actors. The man is brilliant. Benicio Del Toro, Luis Guzman and Michael Douglas are all wonderful actors and their performances in &#8220;Traffic&#8221; are among the best in each of their careers. Not enough can be said about Catherine Zeta-Jones. She was pregnant with her husband, Michael Douglas´ baby and while going through the later stages of her pregnancy, she put forth a hell of a fine performance. The supporting cast is great as well. The young and lovely Erika Chistensen does a fine job as the troubled and addicted daughter of Robert Wakefield. Amy Irving, Albert Finney, James Brolin and Benjamin Bratt are other familiar faces. The always entertaining Miguel Ferrer is part of the film. Miguel Ferrer is the kind of actor that deserves a spot in any film. The man is seriously underutilized by Hollywood. He is really good in his portrayal of informant Eduardo Ruiz.</p>

<p>Blu-ray &#8220;Traffic&#8221; is a movie that I have special feelings for with no reason, just feeling. I have tried to<a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com"><strong><em> change</em></strong></a> the Blu-ray version to other video formats compatible with iPhone so I can watch this movie on a vacation or a business trip. Having made continuous comparison between many <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/blu-ray-ripper/index.html"><em><strong>Blu-ray rippers</strong></em></a>, I found the best one on <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/"><em><strong>http://www.itoolsoft.com</strong></em></a> which is quite suitable for me because it can rip and convert Blu-ray and DVDs for playback on my iPhone with incredibly high conversion quality. Traffic, in Blu-ray or not, is a must-see movie.</p>

<p>Since the rising of HD-DVD and Blu-ray players, many customers would be confused that if these advanced equipments are compatible with the conventional DVDs and CDs. This article will give you a few advices.</p>
<p>Both Blu-ray and HD player developers and manufacturers have been trying to include the ability of playing standard DVDs and CDs into their consideration and plan, but it is expected to become successful for Blu-ray players since HD-DVD has been discontinued.  It means that your current DVDS cannot only be played on a Blu-ray player but also a HD-DVD player, which is much more convenient than ever before. And when you play standard DVDs on a Blu-ray player or a HD-DVD player, you can just watch the video at a standard DVD resolution or choose the high-definition one which would be a better choice in many cases. </p>
<p>And there’s no need to worry about standard CDs because most Blu-ray and HD-DVD players will be compatible with standard CDs or CD-R discs. But do notice, however, there are some exceptions among which the first generation products are very noticeable like the players from Sony, Pioneer and LG. If you want to make sure whether one Blu-ray or HD-DVD player has the compatibility with standard DVDs and CDs, read the specifications and manuals carefully just before you open your wallet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Explanation of two terms:</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>BD</strong>, <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com" target="_self">Blu-ray </a>disc, reads and writes data with shorter blue laser (405nm) and so gets its name. So far, Blu-ray is the most advanced CD format with super large storage capacity up to 25GB or even 50GB for a double-layered disc.</p>
<p><strong>CBHD</strong>, used to be called CHDVD, means the Chinese high definition DVD. CHDVD was once the Chinese edition of HD-DVD alliance supported by Toshiba. As Toshiba announced to retreat from HD-DVD field, the Chinese edition changed its name to CBHD (Chinese Blu-ray high definition disc). CBHD, based on the latest blue laser technology, has a large storage capacity and supports HD videos up to a resolution of 1920×1080p.</p>
<p>BD and CBHD are not compatible with each other for the different compression techniques and CD structures applied. So customers can just choose them alternatively.</p>
<p><strong>Player Price </strong></p>
<p>BD players are famous for the high cost. When Sony released its first Blu-ray player in China, the price reached 4999 RMB. Although it has been reduced several times, it is still higher than CBHD ones.<span id="more-71"></span></p>
<p>CBHD came out with lower prices at the very start. The first CBHD players released last year, including Shinco CB-HD-9100 and TCL THBD-1008, were marked 2500 RMB. And both of them have been cheapened now.</p>
<p>From the data listed above, we can see CBHD is in the green tree.</p>
<p><strong>Disc Price</strong></p>
<p>The disc price is also one of the factors among customer’s consideration about whether to buy a BD or CBHD player. The Blu-ray disc price is about 105 RMB which is obviously higher than that of a CBHD one. Although both of the two alliances have tried to reduce the disc price, CBHD is still in the advantageous place.</p>
<p><strong>Disc resource</strong></p>
<p>As for a good Blu-ray player, the disc resource is also an important aspect to consider. Blu-ray disc, launched by BDA, is supported by seven film companies in Hollywood while CBHD is only supported by Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. But CBHD has successfully won the support of some Chinese video and audio corporations including China Record Corporation and China Film Corporation.</p>
<p>In terms of disc resources, BD is in the advantageous place.</p>
<p>To be honest, although Blu-ray owns excellent image quality 5 times better than that of DVD, it is not the best time to buy BD players, neither is CBHD ones. As for BD, the technology is advanced enough and its disc resource is rich, whereas its price is still high. And CBHD has more advantages except the less disc resources.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sony has released the first generation of Blu-ray player, BDP-S1, in 2006. Now four years has passed and Blu-ray is not likely to be so successful developed and used as has been expected.  </p>
<p>Sony announced the coming out of BDP-S1 Blu-ray Disc Player, a Vaio RC desktop owning a recordable Blu-ray drive as well as an internal Blu-ray disc drive for computers in 2006.</p>
<p>Although Blu-ray technology is said to represent the latest generation after DVD, it still has a competent opponent&#8212;-HD DVD, which has been the top priority of many users. Blu-ray, with the marvelous immense storage capacity up to 50GB, won the fierce war with HD DVD temporarily.</p>
<p>The vigor of Sony’s Blu-ray has been diminishing for quite a time because there are still some remaining problems to settle, and the main restriction is the high price that is caused by the complex manufacturing and the costly expense, and it seems there is no sign for large-scale price dropping. So Blu-ray still remains caviar to the general. Both the BDP-S1 player and the Vaio desktop are a little bit expensive, which will frustrate a large number of Blu-ray fans including me. Hope the price be adjusted to a desirable level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Blu-ray, despite of its popularity in house product market, is difficult to spread in offices.</p>
<p>According to iSuppli, a world leading market analyzing company concerning the electronics manufacturing, PCs with Blu-ray dive only took up 3.6% of all the PCs produced in 2009. And iSuppli expected that the proportion would increase up to 16.3% in 2013, and before this expected time DVD would remain a cock of the walk.</p>
<p>“Even in 2013, Blu-ray still cannot take the place of DVD as the main CD diver in PC system”, said Michael Yang, an analyst specializing in storage and EMS memory. Yang stated in his announcement that Blu-ray is sure to get success finally but in the following five years there could not be remarkable achievements in terms of PC industry.</p>
<p>From where iSuppli stands, the failure of Blu-ray’s popularity lies in the less selectivity and higher cost and if the price of Blu-ray can be reduced, customers will be likely to install a Blu-ray driver in their PCs.</p>
<p>Although this may have disappointed BDA (Blu-ray disc association), iSuppli said this is not uncommon, for as long as the price has been decreased to a specific level, can Blu-ray, this new media format in PC come through. Since many of us would not spend that money on Blu-ray products, it is a good choice to rip Blu-ray discs to common video formats. You can find many Blu-ray ripping tools like <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/blu-ray-to-pc-ripper/index.html">Blu-ray to PC ripper</a>, <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/blu-ray-to-video-ripper/index.html">Blu-ray to video ripper</a>, etc.<span id="more-65"></span></p>
<p>iSuppli took the 3.5 inch floppy disc as an example. Customers will continue to use it if they think it still counts. And obviously, customers still hold that DVD driver really count.</p>
<p>It is undeniable that Blu-ray has better high definition videos and more high-quality audios compared with DVDs. But Yang said once played on a small desktop or a laptop with a just-so-so bugle, these advanced characteristics won’t emerge at all.</p>
<p>Contradictory to its soft market in PC industry, Blu-ray is very popular in house entertainment area.</p>
<p>According to Digital Entertainment Group, in America, the total returns of Blu-ray in the earlier half of 2009 increased 91%, and Toshiba&#8212;-once supporting HD DVD as the strongest opponent of Blu-ray, announced to join Blu-ray side in 2009 and expected to release Blu-ray players.</p>
<p>Perhaps Blu-ray is still finding its way through in PC area, its dominant position in house entertainment field has been confirmed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If someone asks me again whether it is possible to rip and <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/">convert Blu-ray</a> discs to PCs, I will say “Yes” though I used to give a negative answer. Yes, I was also reluctant to tell him that I was uncertain when this could be done as well.</p>
<p>But now, he can be reassured that Blu-ray, definitely, can be converted to PCs in various formats at your own pleasure. What you need to do is to equip your PC with a Blu-ray to DVD ripper which will make do with all the used&#8212;to-be tough tasks. And within a short time, you can get the converted videos or audios in formats as you like which are available both on your PC and portable devices.</p>
<p>Then, how does a <a href="http://www.itoolsoft.com/">Blu-ray to DVD ripper </a>work?</p>
<p>Before the conversion, make sure that your PC has been equipped with a BD driver which is essential during the conversion. Run ripper and start the conversion, then the ripper will extract the Blu-ray movies from Blu-ray files and export them to areas that you have selected in formats that you have also pre-set. A reliable ripper will provide you with customizable setting options and personal designs in many aspects. Notice that if your selected Blu-ray files are too large, it might take quite some time for the ripper to complete the converting process. But you needn’t get worried about that because the ripper is able to tell you how long it will take and when it will be finished, so you can do other things and come back at the certain time.</p>
<p>As we know, Blu-ray discs and players, still in the early state, are so costly that they remain caviar to the general. If you don’t want to spend that lot of money on the original Blu-ray discs and players, a Blu-ray ripper would be a good choice.</p>
