Other folks have claimed to have seen the differences.

Including a certain author of HD DVD and Blu-ray versions using different encodes. Of course, different people will have different agendas and points of views to "encourage".

I've personally seen stuff on VC-1 edge motions I didn't particularly care for. Whether that's a result of low bitrate encodes typical of HD DVDs or something else remains to be seen. Curious, they weren't so prevalent on Blu-ray discs with higher bit rate and/or different encodes. Of course, since most everyone has <50" screens, it might not be so noticeable. Good enough is good enough; Unless, maybe you are dealing with 100+" screens...

I might just have to invest in separate low and high bit rate encodes of same movie for serious A/B sessions (e.g. "Flags of our Father"). And/or actually spend serious time watching bits and pieces of different HD DVD and Blu-Ray movies to get a better "general feel"; especially now that "KIng Kong" (sans lossless track - curious since this is supposed to be a reference disk) is now in my current library.
