Can someone explain why BluRay/HDDVD has AVC as part of it's specs? I mean a standard 4.7gb DVD with x264 hi-def video looks fan-frickin-tastic, why do you need to put it on a 25gb disc?

Screw new HD/BR discs, give me standard DVD disc and a DVD player capable of outputting a hi-def signals.
Then we already have the tools we need and there's no format war.

Maybe someone will wise up and do that. Just tweak the DVD specifications to include a hi-def video format.

I suppose that was off topic, sorry. It's just that I saw a Harry Potter hdtv clip in 720p today compressed to 4.7gb and it was bloody amazing. It even still had room for subs and 3 languages of 6 channel ac3.

I'll say it again: the HD war is a contrivance!
