Both HD-DVD and Blu-ray use blue lazers.

When people refer to red, they're refering to the case a HD-DVD is in.

HD-DVDs are in a red case
Blu-rays are in a blue case

It's a shame Warner doesn't do separate encodes.

How about rusty or rust?

Hell, after we were all "paramounted" a few weeks ago (and not even kissed for that matter) I am just happy as hell that Warner is staying the format neutral course.

I think I've been the most vocal about Smallville on this and most Blu-ray sites, and I can safely say I'm not too worried really.

I think Warner have learnt their lesson from the horribly bit-starved encodes of season 5 on HD DVD, plus VC-1 has improved somewhat since then (for example, the difference between the US & UK editions of Serenity).

I really think these episodes will have 4 star reviews at least!

Really looking forward to some Clark vs Zod/Clark vs Bizarro/Justice League High-def action, man!

I think we can all agree on one thing about the color. It is simply the ugly cousin of blu-ray. I could see a nice crystal red making for a lovely display, but they totally turded on the color choice.

Where is a good hurling emote when I need one?
