Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD

[myjaja]

Which one do you prefer?

 

[Injury]

HD-DVD... solely because it's not Sony's format.

HD-DVD. Seeing Sony's format flop would make my day.

I searched before I posted. I didn't find anything about them other than a few threads that were completely different than this one.

That is what I thought, then I read an article claiming that blueray supported both. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Jfrag Teh Foul]

Don't care... will wait for the standard to be chosen... then buy.

Yes, HD-DVD and Blu-ray support the same codecs: MPEG-2, AVC and VC-1.

Yes, both formats support the same video codecs, but all of the movies released during the first couple months in BD format were encoded using MPEG2 and were much lower quality. Now they have started encoding using h264

 

[Exterous]

HD-DVD
IIRC HD-DVD only requires an upgrade of existing DVD production equipment whereas BlueRay requires new equipment

 

[Linflas]

It is my hope that Blu-Ray quickly goes the route of Beta.

 

[Schfifty Five]

Lock this please.

 

[BDawg]

Hay guys, I hate Sony, so I'm going to be against whatever they put out, even if its better (sic).

HD-DVD, much cheaper to produce. Blue ray media is insanely expensive to make and doesn't it still need cartridges?
