RE: Viable Comparison?

Posted by Jack G on November 6, 2007 at 11:43:20:
Depends on what you are comparing.

>>>Same player, same title across formats is generally the only way I feel one may reach any conclusion. <<<
How do you know the same player (dual player) plays both equally well? If it does, then the same title and *encode* across formats will look identical on the same player-all else being equal, the same same encodes on both formats will look the same.
What if you take the same title and encode across formats and play them on different players? If one looks better (or possibly just different), then you could make a conclusion that one may be better at what it does.
Just a thought.
As a side note, I am curious as to how his A2 compares to his dual player for HD DVDs.
