[QUOTE="C A Iversen, post: 135381"] Yes, HD-DVD's players and discs are marginally cheaper, right at the moment, this will change. No Sony does not have any trouble producing dual layer Blu Ray discs. Standard single sided capacity: HD-DVD: 15GB - BLU RAY: 25GB Double Sided: HD-DVD: 30GB - BLU RAY: 50GB Double Sided Dual Layer: HD-DVD: 60GB - BLU RAY: 100GB All this means that Blu Ray discs can be encoded at a much higher bit-rate which in turn will make for a better picture on 1080p HD screens or more overall content. For example: One Blu Ray double-sided dual layer disc could hold the entire Lord Of The Rings Trilogy encoded a better bit-rate than DVD. A Hd-Dvd of the same sides/layers could hold it at a much worse bit-rate than DVD. Overall the major difference is storage. Also, Blu Ray discs are not likely to be anymore expensive than a HD-DVD disc for much longer at all. Also, recently America's biggest video rental group, Blockbuster announced that as far as the format war is concerned it was exclusively Blu Ray from now on. Blu Ray has the support of about 65% of Hollywood Studios. HD-DVD is however to be heavily utilised by the porn industry as Sony will give them no help in producing Blu Ray discs. They are not for porn, although will not stop them figuring out how to do it themselves. Many industry analysts thought this may be a potential early victory for HD-DVD, although I ask: How Hi-Def and close to real life does this stuff have to look? Only very lonely people are going to want to feel like they are really in the room with the porn stars. In short it will be an interesting format war, although I don't think we'll have to wait 5 years for a winner. I reckon 3. [/QUOTE]
