In Reply to: "Black Snake Moan" uses the same AVC-1 encode for both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD so I expect them to have the same PQ posted by oscar on July 3, 2007 at 08:15:08:
Since the Pirates movies were supposed to prove BD's extra space and bits gave a better picture than HD can *ever* get, BSM, pretty much shows that's not true.
I have little faith in RBfilms' neutrality. He's already saying that his next project will be BD only. He has openly bashed HD DVD because it limited the bitrate of MPEG-2 that he used for Chronos (thats why VC-1 and AVC are better), claiming that MPEG-2 was superior to all other codecs. Add to this the fact that he claimed he got no help from M$ with the compressing, and I'm skeptical that it will be VC-1 at its best. I'll probably pass on this disc, I was rather disappointed with Chronos.

PS. He'll be using HD15 and BD25s for this. I expect his BD to be better, since that is his preference-it'll be a shot at the HD folks that gave him grief for using MPEG-2 on Chronos.
