Blu-ray has a couple other minor technical advantages besides disc capacity, and the extra copy-protection on BD makes the studios happier, but all this is balanced by the fact that HD DVD is inherently cheaper, both the players and discs.]]>Jul 13th 2007 3:00AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/Jul 13th 2007 8:09AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/
You mean the PS3 that in last place in game console sales (being outsold by MS and Nintendo).

@Kevin Murphy

Extra Copy protection that is what I really want with my movies.....]]>Jul 13th 2007 10:19AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/]]>Jul 13th 2007 12:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/
Btw, here are some screenshots I found on the remastered version. Looks nice!

Blu-ray has technical advantages: Theoretical disc capacity. Theoretical bitrate. In practice, most movies are single-layer, owing to aforementioned costs, meaning they are 5GB smaller than all HD-DVD discs.

HD-DVD has no technical advantages but does boast the decisive practical advantage of a video library which is 100% VC-1 or AVC. The Blu-ray library, on the other hand, is irreversibly plagued with a majority proportion of inferior MPEG-2 encodes. For an example of the consequences of this trend, witness closeup comparisons between the original and reworked Fifth Element. When the bitrate is starved, the codecs reduce detail to compensate. The film grain otherwise naturally inherent in a movie like Fifth Element, as well as non-artifact details of similar scope, are blurred, effecting a reduction in visual resolution and the infamous "Blur-ray" phenomenon that results in many Blu-ray titles looking scarcely better than DVD.

The sad footnote to these observations is that about 50% of all announced Blu-ray releases remain slated as MPEG-2 encodes. So HD-DVD will persist in trumping Blu-ray in the one aspect that matters significantly.

Blu-Ray has no advantage over Blu-Ray other than disc space (and it's not a huge advantage given few releases even make use of it).]]>Aug 15th 2007 4:30PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/13/new-details-emerge-on-star-trek-tos-hd-dvd/
HD DVD players are priced bellow the $100 mark, and the Movies are more reasonably priced. And our Economy suggest's that People are tighter than Ever with Money right now, so I believe that the HD DVD Format will Win the Battle!!

Besides, if they are the same in Qualiity, why would Someone pay more?!? Look at Sony!! They support the Blue-Ray format, but they don't realize that most people don't by the Sony HDTV's, as much as a more Affordable Brand, like Toshiba or Mitsubishi.

I have Always liked Sony, but they have Become an Elitist Brand, now. And they are making themselves sound like you have to pay-up to own their Brand now!! What the hell happened?!?]]>Sep 15th 2007 10:48PM
