  1. Comment - HD DVD: We're Not at War with Blu-ray

    "It should be noted that HD-DVD's superior audio and video quality is likely to be short lived. Sony and other movie studios supporting Blu-Ray are silently remastering a significant amount of their Blu-Ray titles using VC-1 video compression and uncompressed 24-bit 96KHz PCM audio making Blu-Ray equal to HD-DVD for the most part. The only problem is telling the remastered Blu-Ray titles apart from the first ones since the packaging is not being modified."

    Amen does the HD-DVD Crowd not even acknowledge this equalizing of content quality?

    And who cares about content download I watch the DISC for the movie not its special features. If I want to watch a trailer I’ll get on my computer. (Some special features are good don’t get me wrong) but with content download so easy on the P3 and the 360 why does it matter.

    As far as capacity... When you compare on a layer to layer basis, Blu-Ray will always have much more capacity... Blu-Ray does in two layers what HD-DVD does in three.... so if Blu-Ray were to-do a three layer disc.....

    Sure the HD-DVD discs may cost less because they are based on the same technology as the DVD... But does anybody get Ticked Off when there DVD skips because of finger prints or scratches????? Isn’t it great that HD-DVD had a chance to fix this and choose to ignore it while Blu-Ray has a scratch resistant fingerprint resistant underside?

    You wanted me to expound my opinion because I was being naive for judging on space alone. Comments?

    Okay there are two aspects... Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD and then HD vs DVD... HD sales are only 1% of the DVD market because nobody wants to buy something that wont be worth anything later because the other format won.. I'd have bought into the market months ago if I new which one would win. I have half decided to chip in on the blu-ray side because it looked like they were going to win (and i like the added capacity). The point is the competition is hurting HD sales. (Which is what "Microsoft wants")
