A standard 2010 DVD supports 7,000kbps bitrate at 720x480 with 8.5GB's. Think about 30GB's.

Get the fuck out. Bluray holds 50GB of capacity, with 4 layers even to 100GB. HD dvd only could go to 30GB. HDDVD the better choice? LOL the manufacture cost was the same, HDDVD and Bluray both use the same blue laser, HDDVD just didnt have enough space.

My bluray movies are +-45GB, its 15GB more then HDVD can handle.

Sony losing money? No they make money on the PS3 for a year now. Bluray has now a marketshare of 25% while it was only 10-15% last year. Wait till players go <$100

[chrissup19]

Am I saying that it was highly superior to Blu-ray? Not at all, I'm saying it was the more obvious choice. Sony greased the wheels of the production companies to side with them, Sony is loosing money now. HDDVD was a good product, and was the better choice for many reasons. It was easier and cheaper to manufacture, it still had more than enough space to hold an HD movie with special features, there was the standard and HD side which was convenient. Need I say more?

The Blu-ray release of Akira has a 196KHz Dolby TrueHD track. That, along withe the film, would not fit on a dual layered HD-DVD. And, Warner Bros. was a HD-DVD camper and ported a shitty version, without the lossless track, to Blu-ray. Not until a few months ago they release a worthy version. But, it still has the HD-DVD video port, so it's not reaching it's true potential. Chrissup, I recommend you rent Baraka and tell me an HD-DVD can hold that 8k video transfer.
