| ChronotriggerJM said: Well I've mentioned in a forum elswhere that the current "High Def Pinnicle" is Pirates of the Caribean one and 2, both of the movies reach bitrates at which HD-DVD physically CANNOT reach. They are supposed to be the BEST you can buy on disk at the moment. Not to mention both leave plenty of room for extas and top knotch audio. The basic movie produced by company's that support both wont look all that much better usually. Up until recently they were both encoded with the same format used to transfer to HD-DVD (the lower space format of the two) to save on production costs (reminds me of something else :P ) however, thats been dropping off pretty quickly and the bluray versions have been encoded with a much better format. And as I said earlier in this thread, King Kong was the prime example of a long movie hitting its limits. They coulden't do both, they had to sacrifice the audio for the picture, and in terms of me wanting a High Def movie, I don't want to sacrifice anything. I just think people weighing out things like "well this is good enough" is a horrible way to spend money, since when was "good enough" actually good enough? I mean when I buy something, I want the best money/product ratio I can find. If I'm going to shell out money for a good entertainment setup I want something that will satisfy my current needs and anything that I might need in the next few years. And @ Omac, if thats what you feel is important about your HD movie by all means :D I just dont feel like shelling out extra for a Combo disk... with the extra price and lower reliability I'd rather just get the Bluray. |
