PQ varies on titles of ALL HIGH-DEF FORMATS because they are all shot and processed in different ways. Typically, if the movie budget is low, you should expect a less than impressive transfer to high-def.

That's the short of it!

I wasn't implying that blu ray the standard is below hddvd what i was saying is that certain films on blu ray look worse than a lot of the hddvd films. As far as a film being a lower budget meaning it's of poorer quality I'm not quite sure I agree. True if a film looks bad in it's original format than yes, it wont look good in any format Blu ray, HD, or Standard. But if A film does look good in it's original state but the blu ray still comes up looking soft than it must be a transfer issue. I guess what I'm getting at there's a lot of fillms out there in blu ray land but only a percentage of them represent the standard that would make blu ray proud. As a consumer I just want the best possible picture quality available out there. Yes on paper blu ray 1080p is the highest res possible but that doesn't always parlay into the best picture available. I guess Blu ray should be a little more selective in pursuing transfers that do it justice.
