In Reply to: Actually, there's quite a bit of give and take on the AVS HD software discussion forum posted by oscar on August 17, 2007 at 10:27:45:
Noone has to defend it. BD has yet to prove the extra space gives a better picture.Paramount has different codecs for the different formats, yet the picture looks the same on both.
I beleive that the Prestige BD is 37G, but the import HD DVD is only 23G, and looks the same, according to folks who compared them. The BD mantra "more must be better" doesn't really hold water.
Check out posts 9 and 20 in the thread linked below.
