Parsons is the guy who already claimed HD DVD was dead.:-) We'll see how acurate he is here...
>>>Just think about all the (space consuming) neat-o features Blu-Ray will be able to support better than HD-DVD when the new BD-J features become mandatory for Blu-Ray players....<<<
Not on current players, kind of makes that extra space a waste doesn't it?

I don't refute the high storage or bitrate, just the need. Not too many non-MPEG2 movies need or use it.
Oh, and good luck with the interactive PiP, both Universal and Warner are rather insistant on it. Without it, Warner will leave the BDA. Its a pity that the BDA didn't get their specs finalized *before* they hit the market.

>>>Why so defensive about HD-DVD. Afraid it's about to die ? :0)<<<
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Not defensive, I just didn't drink the blue Kool-aid. I've said before that both fomats will be around for while, and I'll probably get a BD player when they put out enough movies to justify it. That may be a while though.
Enjoy,
Jack
