VC-1 ever?

Another thing is that you're comparing SMALL low-bitrate encodes, whereas Blu-ray would be HIGH-bitrate encodes.

A better example would be:

"Flags Of Our Fathers" - HD DVD (VC-1)
"Flags Of Our Fathers" - Blu-ray (AVC)

But again, I'm not quite as technical about this as most people...

Not many places have 1080p/24 files available for download except apple's movie site. & they don't have them in WMV form for comparisons, for obvious reasons..

Those movies illustrate my point. Both 5 star image quality, but HD DVD has 2/5 less space & a lower bitrate to boot, to accomplish it with.
