I belive that most of the current HD-DVD's and BR discs are all outputting video at 18Mbps. So HD-DVD can theoretically increase by 30% and BR by 125%. BR has more room for improvement, but they're not using it yet. At the current moment both formats look identical. |
I'm not sure about all new BR titles, but many of the recent BR movies I've watched used AVC which I have read is better than VC-1. I believe POTC used AVC and I noticed that the bitrate was typically around 25-30 MB/s. and I saw peaks of over 40 MB/s. I also saw scenes where it dipped to around 10-12, but not very often. The audio was at a constant 6.0 mb/s.
In case anyone is wondering how I know the numbers, PS3 will display both audio and video bitrates when using the display button.
Oh, and I support both formats while they are both available. 360 add-on and PS3 as players.
Edit - I also wish to add that I hope both formats survive. Competition between the two will be the best for consumers!
