Default Blu-ray Quality Will One Day Be Better The Hd-dvd Movies

It’s great to see several high quality movies now being released on BLU-RAY that beats the picture quality of the D-VHS format. To experience the best quality movies on BLU-RAY titles encoded with VC1 or MPEG-4 AVC on BD-50 discs have been getting the best reviews. The Prestigue is a 50GB MPEG-4 AVC release that the High-Def Digest rated as a 5 star for picture quality and is the best BLU-RAY disc Buena Vista has released so far.

If studios would maximize the bit rate using 50GB discs on BLU-RAY with either VC-1 or MPEG-4 then BLU-RAY titles would always have a better picture quality then 30GB HD-DVD titles. It is cheaper for studios like Warner to use identical encodes for both BLU-RAY and HD-DVD when releasing titles in both formats. When and if the HD-DVD format dies then studios like Warner could maximize the bit rate of VC-1 on 50GB BLU-RAY discs to take advantage of increased room on the disc to offer even better picture and sound quality then what they are releasing now. If a movie has a lot of extra materials then placing the extras on a second BLU-RAY disc is the smart thing to do to keep the quality of movies and extra materials as good as possible. As this BLU-RAY format matures one day hopefully we will see Super Bit versions of HDTV movies that use up all the space of those 50GB discs to give the consumer the best quality possible for picture and sound.
