hang on why is the quality of a blu-ray movie any better than its downloaded counterpart... its the same file isnt it?

 

Downloads are Compressed, blu-ray is Un-compressed,

A hundred minute of uncompressed 16 million colors 1080p video at 30fps takes almost a terabyte, and that is WITHOUT any audio so I seriously doubt that blu-ray with its meager 50gb for a double layer disc is uncompressed.

The difference is blu-ray is compressed, downloadable HD movies are compressed more and thus more likely to have artifacts (assuming the same codec is used).
