Maybe its because with blue laser and standard DVD reading capability, the HD DVD playback capability comes for free ... just add the PC application and its there.
HTPC and HD Video has two very irritating features:
1. HDMI has "overscan" that makes the display to scale the the desk top larger than the native sensor resolution -> in order to see the full desk stop you need to use smaller resolution ... WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID .. just use DVI instead of HDMI.
2. If you have a normal DVI display, you typically cannot watch HD video on desk top because the displays don't support HDCP that is requested for HD video. So you cannot watch HD video without connecting to VGA insted of DVI ... WHICH AGAIN IS ABSOLUTELY STUPID ... just don't use DVI at all ...
There is practically no way to watch HD video in HTCP today.
Yes but what would you not pay for a Blu Ray system so very well alive and well!!!
