This Week in HD DVD: the final edition {Xbox 360 Fanboy}
Feb 26th 2008 9:20AM ymmv, you're the one spreading the FUD. MPEG 2 encoding does suck. And there are 100's of blu ray movies out there that are encoded in it.
Not only did 5th element get re-done, I also remember Robocop having the same thing done because of bad picture quality. Let me give you a small list of MPEG2 encoded bluray's
Black Hawk Down
Click
Enemy of the State
Fantastic Four
Four Brothers
Hitch
Mission: Impossible 1,2,& 3
Pearl Harbor
Resident Evil: Apocalypse
Saw 1,2,& 3
The Transporter 1 & 2
Plus about 100 other movies. Dont believe me? here's the link straight from blu ray's own site http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=3338
You are correct with the space issues with mpeg2. But the bitrates must be MUCH higher to make up for the difference and bluray does not. That site lists the bitrates as well. 17 fps with mpeg2??? Not gonna cut it
Petition to keep HD DVD alive appears online {Engadget HD}
Jan 10th 2008 9:22AM Actually Sam, your an idiot. The reason the bitrates are sooooo much higher on bluray, is because they use crappy mpeg2 encoding. HDDVD uses vc1 encoding which is vastly superior to mpeg2.
So yes, the bitrates are higher, but they have to be that much higher to keep up.
Just makes me wonder sometimes how a non finished format won this war.
