Actually, the manufacturing process required for Blu-ray discs makes them inherently more expensive for movie production studios than HD-DVD discs (from a cost standpoint, anyway).

Yes, but HD DVD studios have to license Dolby Digital codecs for audio, which costs money. Studios on the Blu-Ray side, however, don't. They can put uncompressed PCM on a disc for free. In the end, it all evens out.
