I'll reserve judgement on BSM and I'm not likely to waste my money to find out.

POTC was a bad enough waste of money; Yes the PQ was VERY GOOD but not perfect; probably better than King Kong IMHO. YMMV.

I agree MPEG2 and single layer HD-DVD are probably a bad combo, but I certainly agree with RBFILMs' concerns on the bandwidth/storage capacity limitations of HD-DVD. And if it takes a lot of TLC to make sure a low bit rate VC-1 encode doesn't ruin the PQ, then that's another argument against the use of low bitrate VC-1 (and another partial dig at HD-DVD). They appear to have legitimate concerns about the use of HD-DVD IMHO.

Are single layer discs (Blu-ray or HD-DVD) that much cheaper than dual layer discs ? I'd expect single layer discs might be appropriate for 1 hour music videos (at least with Blu-ray).

I watched BSM last night. The movie was actually pretty good. The PQ was very good, but didn't blow me away-didn't make me go "WOW".
I read Richard's tirades over at AVS forum, an have come to the conclusion that I really don't like him. I won't go into details or name calling, but he likes to air his dirty laundry in public. I also think the VC-1 comparison will be suspect. I seriously doubt if I'll be buying any of his products in the future.

Side Note: I did order a Samsung BDP-1200, that should get here by next week. I ordered 4-5 movies from Amazon, and that will do me with regards to BD for a while.
