Story Blu Ray
Who else is getting tired of everyone saying Blu Ray is better?
First I had a couple of friends of mine come over. One has a Blu Ray player, the other has an HD DVD player.
We then hooked both up to two 50inch 1080p HDTV's. Then we put in a HD DVD movie on tv A. Then we put the same Blu Ray movie on Tv B.
You want to know our results.
They both look the same. End of story. Blu Ray is not better than HD DVD, and HD DVD is not better than Blu Ray.
You all make good points, it is getting ridiculous how many Blu Ray users like to rub in that somehow their player is better. I for one am going to buy that new player from Samsung, it plays HD DVD, DVD, and Blu Ray. It is absolutly amazing. So then I can not go wrong.
While there are some technical advantages to Blu-ray (more storage space, slightly higher bitrate on some audio formats) there is nothing at a performance level to choose between the two formats. You are right on ... the audio and video quality are as close to indistinguishable as doesn't matter.
What is disappointing to me is how successful Sony and the BDA were in convincing consumers that Blu-ray is better. I too am sick of hearing how HD DVD sucks and/or Blu-ray is superior.
The facts are:
- HD DVD originated -- and embarassed Blu-ray into using -- VC-1 video coding otherwise Blu-ray would have continued to look worse than HD DVD, as it did in the first 4-6 months.
- The vaunted lossless audio formats don't make any difference (the term "transparent to the master" is used) relative to the advanced lossy formats, when done properly (That's the whole point behind psychoacoustics -- you lose the stuff the listener can't hear to reduce storage requirements). The claims for superiority of lossless are mainly based on theory not practice.
- The HD DVD hardware spec was complete and final from day one -- unlike Blu-ray which still isn't final. As a result many early blu-ray players are incapable of playing advanced features that HD DVD players could all play from day one.
- Toshiba and the DVD Forum purposely chose a format that was an evolutionary step beyond DVD because this would lower costs relative to a totally new technology. A HD DVD replication manufacturing line could be built from an existing DVD facility for less than $200K, while a Blu-ray facility has to be built from scratch (several $million). Unfortunately the HD DVD studios chose not to pass on the lower costs to consumers (which in my view was the single most important factor in HD DVD not catching on).
- HD DVD hardware was intentionally designed to have a 1080i low cost player for those with less than 1080p HDTVs. This was used to belittle HD DVD, despite the fact that 1080i is indistinguishable from 1080p on a 1080p HDTV that deinterlaces properly.
- Blu-ray disks have repeatedly been unplayable on one or more players due to DRM mechanisms (e.g. BD+). HD DVDs are more consumer (but less studio) friendly because of weeker DRM coding.
- HD DVD chose not to implement region coding (a benefit to consumers) but studios don't like this since it doesn't allow them to selectively price or successfully introduce disks at different dates in different areas of the world.
- Blu-ray disks have a thin easily damaged protective layer, which despite a hard coating (which HD DVD's should also have implemented) makes Blu-ray disks more succeptible to damage (yet when combined with stronger DRM makes it harder for consumers to backup disks (assuming HD recorders become available)).
The thing I resent the most is the misleading advertising used for Blu-ray and the way Sony essentially bought victory ensuring that we consumers ... gullible, ignorant and brainwashed ... will now pay for it. Does anyone think the low Blu-ray disk prices that have been available in the form of continual specials and buy one, get one sales will continue? We are now stuck with a more expensive format that doesn't provide any significant performance advantage, is less consumer friendly, and largely controlled by a company with a long, proven record of consumer indifference.
Just consider, Sony introduced the BDPS300 player two weeks before Profile 1.1 was implemented. That meant they introduced a Profile 1.0 machine without any of the profile 1.1 features ... and didn't warn potential buyers the machine was incapable of being updated and was therefore obsolete 2 weeks after introduction. Why do you think this is the fire sale player? And Sony makes a nice profit on it.
Personally, I'm sticking with DVD since HD disks are overrated anyway (at least unless you have a large screen 1080p display .. and even then it's not night and day).
I really hate being taken for a fool, and it's even worse when those who are taken think they won! Because of them we all lost.
