It's not an opinion that blu-ray has a higher capacity. It's a fact. Learn the difference NT

It's truly sad that the only way you can support your feeble arguments is by setting up a strawman (nt) - racerguy 11:43:05 10/21/07 (1)

- My entire argument that blu-ray is the way to go is about capacity...there's no other point to set up - Jazz Inmate 12:15:31 10/21/07 (0)
  It's really odd how you've missed that.

But that doesn't mean a better picture - Jack G 10:28:00 10/21/07 (5)
Most BDs(56%) are on BD-25s, and most that are on BD-50s don't fill up the disc. The bigger = better only applies to MPEG2, that requires lots of storage space. Both AVC and RC-1 hold the same info in less space(they look better too).

- So far it's only meant better sound on Blu-ray discs with uncompressed PCM - Jazz Inmate 11:09:56 10/21/07 (4)
  How many HD DVDs do you have with lossless PCM?
  
  Remember audio quality? It's a minor feature that inspired this entire website and brought us all here.
  
  And yes, video quality is impacted too. Many BDs have MPEG-4...how many HD-DVDs have that vs MPEG-2?
  
  Face it: capacity is a very critical issue in delivering high definition A/V content. I can't believe we are still having this argument.

    None. How many BDs have interactive features.
    
    > > > Remember audio quality? < < <
    Yes, I have an entire floor of my house, seperate from my video, dedicated to it.
    
    > > > It's a minor feature that inspired this entire website and brought us all here. < < <
    Yes, it IS a minor feature in VIDEO.
    
    > > > And yes, video quality is impacted too. Many BDs have MPEG-4...how many HD-DVDs have that vs MPEG-2? < < <
    MPEG4 is AVC. You did know that didn't you?
    BD has 105 AVC Vs 153 MPEG2. HD DVD has 30 AVC Vs. 10 MPEG2.
    Intersting stats eh?

    That's because you still don't get it.
    You need to get away from Blu-ray.com for a while-it tend to give you a warped view of reality.

      Before you become too enamored with the MPEG codecs on HD DVD, you may want to take a close look at the bitrates. They're not all created equal.
      
      You obviously care about audio quality but downplay its importance in HT.
      
      If you really want an immersive, interactive HD experience, you should get into gaming, but there again PS3 is the way to go. My idea of fun is not interacting with movie features...that's not why I buy hi res movies.

        The vast majority of titles on HD DVD are encoded with VC-1. It doesn't require as much space or as high bitrate as MPEG2. Same with AVC. That's the whole point.
