nobody said this i'm thinking of it myself and its true if its done through VC1 Compression the PQ of BD is going to be better than HD_DVD version but in this case Above both of them are even in PQ.

Now for the Audio part if PAYBACK was done in PCM soundtrack YES BD will be so FAR Better than HD-DVD.

If they are saying THAT the HD-DVD has better Sound than BD,this is obvious clear Because Paramount and Warner are still using Less quality bandwith Sound for BD.All we know without any question about it THAT PCM Soundtrack is unbeatable by HD_DVD DolbyTHD.Hopefully now you understand my point of view

I didn't say anything about PCM sound in my quote. I agree I love the sound of PCM. To me it sounds just as good as Dolby TrueHD which uses a lot less space.

And if it is a title released on VC-1 with the same transfer & bitrate how is it going to look better on Blu-ray than HD-DVD? It will look exactly the same. I have both formats & have done side by side tests to verify this. You actually like MPEG-2 better than AVC encoding?
