@ssj12 -- currently all movies are stored as 1080p/24. The content on both formats is stored identically... maybe one day that will change, but for now, they are the same...

Actually, that's not entirely true... Originally, Sony was using mpeg-2 for some of their Blu-rays... a noticable step down - and leads to much larger files - than h.264.

In turn, there are a few early Blu-ray movies that look considerably worse than their HD-DVD counterparts. If you're looking into Blu-ray movies, I highly suggest ignoring some of these movies. I believe Casino Royale was one of them though I'm not positive and don't feel like looking it up.


 That's right... I forgot about the early mpeg2 vs. h.264 stuff.  Isn't everything in the last 6 months or newer pretty much all h.264?  I remember reading about some of the early BR films looking like garbage...
