In Reply to: Why are your ONLY posts bashing HD DVD and promoting blu-ray? posted by townsend on November 29, 2007 at 17:11:42:
the only controversy is how thes "advantages" translate to the real world. blu-ray has 50-60% advantage in both audio/video bitrate capacity (48 vs. 30 mbs) and storage capacity (50G vs. 30G) which can effect PQ/SQ quality but plenty of folks (probably mainly those with vested interests in HD-DVD) question whether the spec advantages translate into "practical" advantages.
OTOH, Toshiba's apparent marketing strategy means minimal (zero or less than zero) profit margins for retailer/manufacturer's trying to sell HD DVD. The BDA is apparently trying to maintain (obscene?) profit margins for the sales of Blu-ray and HD DVD is messing that up. I've the suspicion "Old Lund Christensen" may have an 'interest" in the winner of this format war. But then again, I also have an interest; I want the best possible PQ/SQ for all my movies and I believe Blu-ray does a better job of delivering it than HD DVD.
