General - HD-DVD or BluRay? - View Post

So what your saying is BR a year and a half later is on par or marginally better than HD. It's amazing that BR has a storage & bit rate advantage yet HD gives you identical or almost identical PQ with a lower bit rate and more features with less storage. The DD+ track on Transformers "which HiDef Digest gave a 5"wasn't an issue for me as it has the best AQ I've ever heard on HD. I did get the best video/audio quality of Transformers because I got it on HD and not Dvd like you.
 

It's a shame that the video scores given for Transformers wasn't 100% compared to the Silver Surfer (see below):

Maybe they used more of the space on the HDDVD disc for audio thus reduced the space for the video?
