Um... actually, Kingdom of Heaven is a dual-layer disc, and as for your precious PotC, Hot Fuzz looks every bit as good on HD-DVD, and has 18 hours of bonus features to boot. The PotC movies are also 2-disc sets, so clearly a single disc wasn't enough to properly fit everything they were wanting to do. BD-Java is not properly implemented as yet, many players don't fully support it, and it may be a while yet before the feature set is actually finalized. The hardware/software spec for HD-DVD was ready to go before they hit the market, unlike Blu-ray. Further, both formats support the same video codecs (AVC/MPEG4, VC-1, MPEG2), so I have no idea what you're talking about there. VC-1 is not a "normal" codec, the only reason Blu-ray releases avoided using this codec is because it is Microsoft-supported, and Blu-ray is a Sony-supported product. It is a SUPERIOR codec to AVC/MPEG4. Regardless, both formats support the same video codecs anyway, as already stated. Yes, the max bitrate is higher for Blu-Ray, but when you get to a certain point, there is absolutely no difference in image quality. The potential for bitrate overkill does not make it a superior format.
