That's not true at all.
Both are compressed, you have any fucking idea how big uncompressed video would be?
HD-DVD uses VC1 for it's video codec. Blueray is primarily using MPEG2. Even on a 50gig disc, MPEG2 doesn't look anywhere near as good as HD-DVD on a 30gig disc.
Both have the ability to use both VC1 and MPEG2(aswell as AVC for blueray), but since Sony owns the patent to MPEG2, they choose to continue to use an out dated codec.
HD-DVD has better audio with the lossless TrueHD and better user interactivity.
The
ONLY thing blueray has is potential.
The extra space of blueray is useless as long as they keep using inferior codecs and overpriced players.
HD-DVD has better players on the market at better prices and is the only one right now that's worth investing into.
