They're using an inferior compression algorithm and they've got 5GB less space to work with. It's a bad situation. Although current HD-DVD players are significantly cheaper at the moment, they only output 1080i--even if the media is recorded at 1080p. Then, if you decide to go with BD, you're buying discs that will likely be released again later once they get the dual-layer problem solved--and now it sounds like there's a problem w/ the Samsung Blu-Ray player over HDMI! No matter which way you decide to go, it sounds as though you're going to run into some problems--and either standard may eventually fail. I think it's too early to go one way or the other. I wish someone would just release a combo player. Maybe–but you can’t argue that the current crop of BD discs is at a major disadvantage.

Dual layer BD movies are expected by late summer. Sony should have (a) used VC1 or MPEG4 or (b) sped up development of dual-layer discs. Yes that’s true.

Is this true? If so, it would certainly explain why the movies don't look so good. They're using a less effective compression technology at a 5GB storage capacity deficit when compared to HD-DVD (25GB vs 30GB). My understanding was that the current titles are all single-layer.
