Transformers was the best video you've seen on HD DVD? It was good, but I didn't think it was that good. Horrid movie. I can think of a few that were as good or better-Matrix Revolutions, Black Snake Moan, Corpse Bride, Chronicles of Riddick to name a few off the top of my head. I was actually kind of disappointed with Transformers. Crappy movie, and I would not put it in my top 5 for best picture.

Choice of movies perhaps ? I don't have any of the movies you mentioned. - oscar 06:06:01 11/06/07 (4)
I'm holding out for the Blu-ray version of Matrix. "Chronicles of Riddick" would be a doubledip not high on the priority list. None of the others interested me. I don't have a ton of HD DVD movies, most of which are weaker than "Transformers". "King Kong" is widely considered "reference" but I disagree with it's PQ ratings. Or maybe I prefer AVC over VC1 encodes ? "Transformers" impressed me visually more than I want to admit, but I agree it's otherwise a poor movie.

Blu-ray has several movies which I thought had better PQ.

    Now I have to go get a DVD-R/W thingee so I can dump it to disc and try it out, though I've never, ever burned a disc before (hard to believe, huh ?!)...
    
    I'll probably pick up "Ratouille" on Blu-ray while I'm at it.

      I tried the default disk utility - no go, wouldn't even go near the .iso files. Then downloaded "Dragon Burn" software which was "successful" (?) in copying what appeared to be a .iso file to disk. The LG rejected both discs I tried.
      
      I'm going to punt and ask LG to mail me a disk while I consult with some computer gurus....

  That pretty much mirrors my experience with Blu-Ray. Outside of Corpse Bride (which was a freebie) and Fifth Element, I don't have any of the highly rated BD titles. Most in my collection are mediocre. I do like AVC-its at least as good as VC-1, possibly better(?).
