And some HD DVDs which deserve to have TrueHD tracks, don't. "King Kong" was supposed to be a reference demo disk but guess what ? No lossless track. Why is that ? Storage capacity limitation ? Bandwidth limitations ? This probably isn't the only example. I think with HD DVD, you will have to make tradeoffs on PQ vs. SQ, particularly with longer movies and/or movies with a tremendous amount of motion.
Another way I see it it, HD DVD may be "good enough" for J6P. I'm not convinced yet it's "good enough" for the HT enthusiast with large investment in audio/video gear. There are a few more examples coming out to evaluate the "higher bit rate/capacity is better" theory. I might even invest to find out directly since HD DVD just got a reprieve.
BTW, I don't think there's anything on HD DVD which matches the PQ on some of the more recent Blu rays (POTC, Apocalypto, etc.).
