All I'm saying is I wish there was one Blu-Ray player that got a good review or one Blu-Ray movie out that took advantage of VC-1 compression and was actually dual-layer. As things are today, it's no contest. Maybe, when this happens, and that problem is solved, and the other thing gets released, Blu-Ray will totally blow HD-DVD out of the water. But today, Blu-Ray is the more expensive, lower-quality choice. I understand.

If you are following this blog I stated some time ago that this first batch of movies has all been create with beta (Yes beta) software. It's only been a month or two since the software to create movies existed. As you probably know also version 0 of anything is far from perfect either. Itis usually not untill a second support pack do things start calming down. That would be 1st quarter next year. I still will hold my judgement for a while on this one. I would like to see how the Pioneer will stack up. There are bound to be problems on both fronts with new technology.

HD-DVD retained the lead in image quality--even after the "fix". The review I read of the patched version of the Samsung BD player was still poor.

Because unlike the DVD-R/W versus DVD+R/W thing, studios have to decide whether they'll support BD or HD DVD. While very similar, the two formats <strong>are</strong> different, and the industry will move towards the one with better support so that everyone is doing the same thing.

I just get done talking about the rumors that we can&#8217;t have a dual-format HD/Blu-ray player because of limitations in their licensing and here comes the EU asking questions from both groups to see if the limitation is true. Maybe my caveat from the Netflix is confused article may become a reality sooner than later, but I still don&#8217;t change my quote. [...] […] Geez.
