  ZS, what do you use for hardware? Your, ahem, zeal for the format, whether DVD-A or HD-DVD, is extraordinary, so it suggests that you use equipment that could get the absolute most out of the software. I think others on this list would be curious to know what you are running, so that they too may achieve the audio and video nirvana that you have.

      In this case it's still fun to try. I don't think BS Smeagol even has a system.

• That sales performance is less impressive than it seems ... - ILoveJazz 22:02:58 03/05/08 (1)

  .... because the regular DVD version of American Gangster outsold the regular DVD version of Michael Clayton by over 3:1 .

  Moreover , the next-best-selling HD-DVD title sold less than one-sixteenth as many copies as American Gangster .

  And , as noted by another Inmate , Blu-Ray titles collectively outsold HD-DVD titles by nearly 2:1 since the format wars began . And just this year alone , BD titles outsold HD-DVD titles collectively by a greater than 3:1 margin .

  With Toshiba's recent announcement with regards to HD-DVD , guess which is DeadDisc now ????

  So , who's LOLing now ????

  HD-DVD won the war with bluray. DVD-A won the war with SACD.
  
  Dualdiscs are popular.
  
  Quadraphonic LPs will come back any day now.

  anomalies, sort of like those Japanese soldiers that were occasionally discovered on some isolated Pacific islands up through the 1960's -- the discovery of which did not "prove" that the war was not ended.

  Warner Targets June For 'Dirty Harry' Blu-ray Set
  Tue Mar 04, 2008 at 11:00 AM ET
  Tags: Disc Announcements, Warner (all tags)
  
  Dirty Harry fans, mark your calendars: Warner has set an early June Blu-ray arrival for all five of the Clint Eastwood vigilante classics.
  
  Dubbed 'Dirty Harry: The Ultimate Collection,' and featuring all five films in the famous franchise ('Dirty Harry,' 'Magnum Force,' 'The Enforcer,' 'Sudden Impact,' 'The Dead Pool'), the long-awaited box set is due to fire on Blu-ray June 3, day-and-date with a set of new DVD re-issues.
  
  As Warner has yet to issue a full media announcement, there were no tech specs or supplemental details at press time, but the studio has told us that each film in the series will be newly remastered, and that the box set will boast numerous bonus features.
  
  There was also no word yet on whether the studio has plans to issue the five Dirty Harry films as standalone Blu-ray releases. Needless to say, we'll keep you posted.

  ... the movie seems bound to be successful, no matter what the format. And its price on Amazon is $19.99 for the HDDVD combo, which is really good. Clayton was priced at $25.95 for the BD. It may be a dying format, but a good deal is hard to resist.

  Great movie, I understand

  Many people bought HD DVD players. Why wouldnt they add a great movie to their collection?

  It is certainly not "very embarrassing for the BDA , and for Blu-ray cheerleaders" except in your mind.

    I'm picking up many of the new releases for March as stated below in that thread. One of the best months for BD releases ever IMHO!
