blu-ray disappointment

[cws2882]

So now that blu-ray is out all I can think about now is when are they going to start putting out all the movies on duel layer 50 gig disks, or our we going to be stuck with most of them on 25 gig? I am sorry you blu-ray makers, but your video sucks pretty bad compared to hd-dvd. At least this is my impression with some of the initial movies. If you need more space because you are using mpeg2 instead of mpeg4, then use the duel layer disks. I wish they wouldnt have even launched this player without all the disks duel layers.

I look at it this way, hd-dvd uses 30 gigs on each disk, plus they have a much better video compression algorithm, and they use the new lossless hd audio formats (some do anyway). Blu-ray uses a crappy mpeg2 compression and doesnt use any lossless compression algorithms for audio. this takes up lots of space, and they currenly have less space than hd-dvd (25 vs 30 gigs). I am giving the blu-ray camp until xmass to start putting out the majority of the movies on duel layer disks and by that time, if they are still overprice and lower quality, i am going to be looking into hd-dvd.
