we've been talking about video.

You wrote, "It's obvious that any content produced for HD DVD is simply ported over to Blu-ray with no emphasis on quality and that's not good."

I corrected you, giving examples.

Then you said, "Or did you think Paramount was going back to the source material, breaking out the film and redigitizing it to produce separate content for both codecs. What makes you think they're different transfers?"
Again, I corrected you.

>>>Unfortunately, you refuse to admit these are advantages, <<<
Just like you refuse to admit that the lack of region coding is an advantage to HD DVD. Different people have different priorities, but then, we've discussed that before and you refuse to admit that too.

The lack of region coding is something that the studios would need to address in HD DVD. They're not going to simply give up exclusivity in the regions where they have distribution rights. The only reason it's allowed to happen now is because the sales volume is pitifully small. If HD DVD takes off, which seems unlikely at this point, it would definitely get a region encoding spec. I fail to see how you could convince yourself otherwise.

I'm giving up on our conversation about Paramount's releases. There is just too much shoddy info to come to any reasonable conclusion. You say "people" have determined that the content looks the same. What people? You say both versions come from a master that is of superior quality. What makes you so sure? Or as you'd say to me: prove it. Bottom line: Paramount is the last company I would look to for indication about quality content. Its commitment to blu-ray is nonexistent as we've all seen very clearly.
