Thumbs down ...like compressing a 15gb HD DVD movie onto DVD9.
Ok, did a little math based on what I know and what I read here.

Firstly, I remember reading LONG AGO that HD DVD was actually a 720p format ONLY. Competition with blu-ray forced them to 1080p with higher compression.

Someone here mentioned that downloaded 10GB movies are packed with artifacts and generally of lesser quality than even HD DVD. Hence I conclude that digital download is like squeezing an 15 GB HD DVD movie onto a DVD9 disc.

Watch The Polar Express on blu-ray. It was ported over from the 15gb HD DVD and is barely better than the DVD counterpart. I am disgusted with that port.

I always said the HD DVD 30gb offerings were more acceptable, but 15gb quality is worth less than SD DVD in my opinion.
