BD's specs were simply much looser, and therefore inferior when it came to advanced implementations.]]>Mar 25th 2008 2:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/
I intended to only buy Blu-ray discs since January, but it looks like I'll have to add one more HD DVD to my collection...]]>Mar 25th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/
They could have incorporated DD 5.1 and TrueHD on the BD version just as well, or a PCM 7.1, or a DTS-MA.
As long as there is a DD 5.1 (mandatory), the bases are covered. As per bookmarking, nothing prevented them from putting it in either, it is supported.

No... thinking about it .. is it remotely possible that the makers of DVE were very outspokenly pro HD DVD, and at one time didn't even count on making a BR version? That they botched the work on the BR, reacting to the Toshiba drop?

NO WAY MAN! YOU ARE TALKING CRAZY NOW!

..
Am I ?
Don't think so.

Was going to buy it, now I think I'll pass until a following edition that will be more "comprehensive".]]>Mar 25th 2008 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/I mean, except out of spite, or because they had to author that in a fast botched way after Toshiba gave in? Right? Otherwise I don't get it... (same for bookmarks)]]>Mar 25th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 25th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/Mar 26th 2008 4:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/digital-video-essentials-hd-basics-gets-reviewed/http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/digitalvideoessentialshddvd.html

And speaking of T2, I'm giving serious consideration to getting that T2 Ultimate Edition HD DVD import from Germany. Apparently it's a very good 1080p VC1 transfer and it has a DTS-HD Hi Res 7.1 audio track (in English).]]>Mar 26th 2008 1:34PM
