PIP/IME is a temporary (and dubious in my POV) advantage, at best for HD DVD; Blu-ray will eventually have an equivalent, and probably better implementation this year. Blu-ray has bandwidth and storage capacity advantages HD DVD cannot and will never match. This translates to higher video and audio bitrates (e.g. almost 100% lossless/uncompressed audio on Blu-ray exclusive studio releases, er... except for Warner) and breathing room for all the special features some people seem to crave (e.g. PIP/IME).

I don't expect Jazz to retain any sort of objectivity or knowledge, but I do expect you to do so. Please don't emulate the fanboy.

    LOL!
    - I asked racer a simple question and he couldn't answer it - Jazz Inmate 10:34:39 01/09/08 (5)
      Then Oscar asked very politely and he still couldn't answer it. Maybe you can?
      
      I'm not holding my breath.

        You apparently don't have a the foggiest notion about who said what to whom in which thread (here's the clue: your loose rhetorical query was first directed at jaiva, not racerguy; oscar's question came after that)! If you're going to carry blue pompoms and root for your home team the least you could do is to familiarize yourself with the names of players before turning cartwheels. ;0)
        
        > > > "Maybe you can?" < < <
        
        I could answer the question oscar put to racerguy even though oscar answered that himself, at least in part, by speculating that Blu-ray should eventually be able to best what HD-DVD currently does better now, but that isn't the point that I was addressing or that you're obfuscating.

        May I suggest you go back to the start of the thread and look for yourself, Lestrade; it's really elementary. If you can divine a question, maybe you can find a clue before the case vanishes from your grasp.

        Cheers (a'la Jazz, rah! rah!),
        AuPh :O)
        
        Wrong. I challenged racer to specify HD DVD's "advantages" and then Oscar reiterated the challenge - Jazz Inmate 12:17:44 01/10/08 (1)

        Of course, racer couldn't come up with a thing. It would help if you could read. It would also help if you left these discussions to the adults and took your fascination with cheerleaders to your therapist, or at the very least myspace.com
