Anyone seen/have the HD-DVDs?
Hey guys,
Has anyone seen the new HD-DVDs that are supposed to be in Best Buy now? I haven't made it out. I read some very mediocre reviews about the look, but reviewers are not so tech savvy sometimes, so I don't know whether to trust them... Anyone seen one? Anyone bought one? |

Early user reviews seem to be more positive. I think we'll be satisfied when more of us have had a chance to see the new format in action on large HDTV displays. |

like all mpeg products, HD-DVD rely on encoding and eventually on quality of player. (and obviously the screen too)
There will be high quality HD-DVD (like there was high quality DVD) and we will see the bad and ugly too... I am afraid that most of time HD-DVD will be just a copy of HDTV streams (at 8 or 10 mbps), so , well under what we can have with good HDV. |

I've seen a few and I'm really not impressed. Definitely an improvement over standard definition DVDs, but still, they have a long way to go.
