The available video codecs might be the same (with some being more space efficient (better ?) than others, but Blu-Ray is more likely to be able to shoehorn in the uncompressed 24/48 or 24/96 PCM tracks than their HD-DVD counterparts. Heck, maybe there won't be a need for studios to pay for lossless compression licenses for DTS HD MA or TrueHD if they simply use 50G Blu-Ray discs for movies uncompressed PCM tracks.True, Blu-ray has some growing pains, perhaps more so than HD-DVD, but there's also a much bigger upside. I expect to want to replace my first generation player (or relegate to 2nd room) with a more capable player within a couple of years. Until then, I can enjoy Hi def movies NOW.
