Default Warner Favoring Blu-ray through overpowering specs?

now, i'm no techie so i can't provide the proper lingo to better communicate what i'm talking about but i do have a rudimentary understanding of what's going on concerning BD's superior technical advantage over HD DVD. personally, i don't think Warner is intentionally *favoring* Blu-Ray over HD DVD. it's even better. even if they wanted to provide the same superior specs on an HD DVD disc, they couldn't because of the limits HD DVD puts on them! so they're not *favoring* BD with their releases (as everyone seems to be unintentionally indicating through their verbiage) - they're just utilizing the potential of a 50 gig BD that HD DVD is unable to provide. just wanted to clear that up

but...but...but....hd dud fans says 30gig is good enough......






But seriously disney even mentioned this a while ago, having 50 gigs to put things on allows more room for quality for picture and sound, hence the reason Blu-ray is going to win, both as the movie format and as a new data storage. GO BLU!!!

Plus Blu ray has faster bandwidth according to wikipedia, AV HD-DVD tops out at 30.24 Mbit/s while BD goes upto 48.0 Mbit/s

That's something the HD-DVD guys don't seem to understand... They simply can't hope to achieve the level of quality that Blu-ray can... they are at their limit ALREADY! Look at transformers, they could not fit a HD audio track on the disc! Blu-ray in space availability is enough to scrap HD-DVD alone... I'm not even gonna go into bit rate and scratch resistance and future 200GB discs and etc... oh wait I just did.

Great post. I really hope warner comes around and realizes that M$ is trying to kill off the two formats. Maybe that will make them blu, considering the sales advantage of blu.

On the other hand, it also seemed--at the time--that Paramount was favoring blu as well; but by your logic i guess they were just taking advantage of blu

ah yes, how could I forget.... hey I have an idea, why don't we just use regular DVD discs and just compress the crap out of it and it'll fit I'm sure! hahahaha.

As i was telling in another post. the more space the better things, just imagine;

Less compressed Video like a 2160p (downscaled)
7.1 Uncompressed Audio channels at 192khz and 24bit with DTS-MA
BD-J with diferent PIP scenes with Diferent Angles (for the Porn guys)
a Whole Trilogy on 1 disc ?

God so much blu on my veins that i gotta go to the Doctor to get desintoxicated... Just a bit
