coz a standard 1080p movie HD Rip has a video bitrate of around 10-18 mbit/s alone, not talking about sound. An untouched blu ray 1080p movie has a video bitrate of around 20-30 mbit/s which goes in action scenes up to 50mbit/s. A standard 720p HD Rip has a video bitrate of around 4-7 mbit/s.
So if this zune hd service only requires 4mbit of ur bandwith, then the picture quality is nowhere near as good as a true Bluray movie in 1080p. |
They compress it, thats how they can get away with the low bandwidth. 1080p is a standard so it doesn't matter if its on blu-ray, streaming, or hddvd.

sorry but 1080p isn't a standard in the sense that the quality is always the same. Even with different Blu Rays u get different video/picture qualities.
So if they compress the data and transfer it und have to uncompress 4mbps for video + sound again, there is most probably a quality loss compared to +30 mbps
Do u have a Bluray Player with movies at home so that u can compare the quality perhaps? And i assume that u own a Full HD Tv and not just a HD ready TV?
