Well, I do think the success of the format has a huge role in support being added to AnyDVD HD. You may disagree but I hardly think I pulled the thread off-topic. It does appear as Webslinger and Androo79 have written that that Blu-Ray has relaxed their stance.

As for your doubt that this will have any impact you may or may not be correct. One of the reasons VHS won over Betamax was porn. Now this doesn't necessarily mean porn will decide which format wins but it still might have an impact. It's said that VHS beat Betamax because VHS was more open and Betamax was Sony's little pet that they had control of. Well, their initial reaction to porn on Blu-Ray was a bad move on their part. If you want your format to be embraced by as many people as possible then you don't restrict a large source of media releases from using said format!

Anyway, my point in even bringing this up was that if Blu-Ray is very very stupid and doesn't think about the big picture they will ruin themselves. And, why spend the time on finding a way to get around the protections if it's a lame duck to begin with. Of course, it appears from press releases that they are planning on working on it.

Feel free to completely disregard my statements.

Since this article was posted I want you to know that there is allot of HD-DVD's with porn on it due to the fact Soy said no to them earlier. So porn is on both formats if there are dvd's (bluray) from the porn industry.

I am going to type something that James would probably want to shoot me for typing: I don't care who wins--as long as someone wins soon(ish). This format war isn't helping me at all. /hides

That said, (and I do keep up on industry news and analysis), things don't look very good right now for HD-DVD. If HD-DVD wins that would make James' job a little easier, I think, so maybe I'll lean a little towards hoping HD-DVD wins (but I'm not going to cry at night if Blu-Ray wins either).

I have no idea. People argue strongly on both sides. I'm not sure I care much either, which is why I typed "/shrug".

Yep, there will likely be more porn on HD-DVD in North America. But Japan could be another story. It's full of PS3s there.

Sorry web wasn't trying to make a mockery out of you. Just my 2¢.

I tend to stay away from these threads as there is too much fanboys and bashing.

That's ok, my girlfriend does a good job of it. You might as well make fun of me too.

The point is this.

Blu-ray burners are available.
And it is possible to rip/burn a bluray movie onto a single layer BD-R.

There are no HD-DVD burners.
When they do come out, you will need DOUBLE layer discs to burn movies.

Whatever way you put it. Blu-ray's 50GB beats HD-DVD's 30GB.

Some of the movies already take 27GB on hddvd.
Now what is going to happen when a very long movie (eg. lord of the rings) is put on a HD-DVD. They are going to lower the bitrate to make it fit in 30GB.


HD-DVD has some good advantages which i like.
Can burn HVDVD_TS folders onto standard dvd disc and play in hd.
Can burn VIDEO_TS folders onto hddvd disc for more storage of SD video.
No bullsh*t with blu-rays BDMV BDAV folders and not playing home burned media.
