That seems strange then that D-VHS are encoded in 1080i and use 3x the bit rate as SD-DVD. Shouldn't they use 6x if DVDs are encoded 480i. I was in belief that DVDs are native 480p and a progressive scan reads all the pixals on the disc while an interlaced scan reads only half. If Blu-Ray does adopt a new codec then it will definutly be superior to HD-DVD.
