This is getting old...

>>>Or did you think Paramount was going back to the source material, breaking out the film and redigitizing it to produce separate content for both codecs. What makes you think they're different transfers?<<<
Let me make it simpler for you:
Same master, different compressions for each format using different codecs, not just ported over from HD DVD. NOTE: Masters are still far superior to either format, so that is not the limiting factor.

>>>You can't point to Paramount as a company that we can rely upon to see the advantages of Blu-ray.<<<
The problem is, you can't point to any company to see the "advantages" of BD even when they do treat the formats different. There just aren't any in practice.
