But what happens when you've got a 120" screen at 720p? Twice the size at half the resolution? That can't be a good combination.
For the record, I like AVC encodes too, though I'm not sure about MPEG-2.
As far as a general feel goes, I get a the same feeling from both, but to be fair, I haven't seen enough of BDs since there are very few I want to own. HD DVD seems a bit more consistant, but the same caveat applies.
Outside of The Fifth Element, which is very good and comperable to Chronicles of Riddick on HD DVD, my other BDs are average. BTW, of the seven I have, two froze up on me and one won't play at all. So much for being more reliable.
enjoy,
Jack

BD has it's share of clunkers. - oscar 06:31:06 08/18/07 (1)
But then again, I see "soft" images on the Big theater. I have to keep reminding myself it's much harder to make a movie look "hidef" on the 10000" screen than on the itty bitty ones we have at home.

  Sometimes the directer wants a soft image. Sometimes people complain about that, bu the disc may be true to the source. this makes AVS's disc rating thread somewhat iffy, since we usully don't know accuracy to the source. There's alot of people over at AVS that complain when they see film grain. Many just want an idealized model of perfection that doesn't exist.
