Speaking purely hypothetically ... If HD DVD "wins", you immediately have two more main-stream manufacturers that could churn out an HD DVD player in short order: LG and Samsung. I wouldn't be too surprised if one of them had a dedicated HD DVD player at CES (complete conjecture on my part, but...

Please note that this is not an HDTV Magazine opinion, but my personal recommendation. Just a week or so ago, Dale published an article in which he preferred Blu-ray.

Where in my article did I claim it was neutral? ... and Onkyo and Venturer. Also don't forget that LG and Samsung are both now supporting HD DVD, if you want a combo player. But a good point if you're brand-loyal to one of the manufacturers in the Blu-ray camp, or have something against...

Good point. I should have further clarified that I was talking about high def bitrates. - Shane

Correct. Regarding DVD bit-rate, I found several sources all in the 10-11 range. I can dig them up for you if you are interested. Thanks, - Shane

I am not intimately aware of the AVCHD details. I know it uses MPEG-4, which is supported by both Blu-ray and HD DVD players, but if memory serves, you cannot play it back directly in any current HD DVD player. You would have to re-burn it in HD DVD format. The only one that comes close would...

Hi all, We just published this today ... thought you might be interested: Which is More Consumer Friendly: HD DVD or Blu-ray? From the excerpt: This article is not written in an attempt to convince anyone who has already made an investment one way or the other, for that is an almost...

So are you home yet? ;-) I have their press release right here: http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/news/2007/01/lg_electronics.php ... and I can't quite figure out what you mean in your comment. Do you mean because it has "Blue" in the name? Please clarify your statement. Perhaps you referring to...

I don't think they can with their current hardware. I think their current video output is limited to analog. Any engineers out there to confirm this? - Shane

As I noted, check completed sales. - Shane

My point about the eBay number was to point out that these are only very loosely considered "sales". So you might not say that 197,000 were sold, if 50,000 are still on the eBay market. - Shane

Some numbers for you to think about (my estimates): - 42,000 of those 42,000 HD DVD add-on's sold were bought to watch HD DVDs. - 100,000+ of the 197,000 PS3's sold were bought to sell on eBay (check completed sales on eBay) - What percentage of that remaining 97k were bought to watch Blu-ray...

JoeSp, His question wasn't about HD DVD vs. Blu-ray ... don't open that can of worms or this thread will explode. His question was about whether he would notice a difference over standard DVD and if it was worth the cost ... I think that has been answered. - Shane

As you might expect, the answer to this question is: It Depends. First, lets consider HD DVD: All HD DVD players on the market right now max out at 1080i, even though the media (discs) have 1080p content. Unless you are fortunate enough to have a VGA input on your TV, then supposedly you can...

Some good information in that interview to be sure ... but it is not an exclusive. He did half a dozen interviews last month for various press houses. Ours will be coming out within the next week. Regarding the winner of the "format war": In my view, it will have nothing to do with the number...
