RE: So far it's only meant better sound on Blu-ray discs with uncompressed PCM

Posted by Jack G on October 21, 2007 at 12:33:53:
>>>How many HD DVDs do you have with lossless PCM?<<<
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?

>>>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.<<<
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.
