First of all AOD doesn't excist anymore. Its HD-DVD.

It is AOD, the names are interchangable. Exist has no "c".

Also VC-9 is a compression standard not a video standard. So saying that VC-9 isn't HD makes no sense at all.

As a "compression codec" aka "video codec", VC-9 can not replicate all the luminence of HD. Hence, due to the "compression codec", true HD is not attained.

VC-9 allows 3x the video storage efficiency.

At the lost of luminence. Not very efficent.

With that a 30 gigabit HD-DVD can hold 30% more then a 54 gigabit Blu-Ray at MPEG-2.

With more compression. 54 Gb is more than 30 GB of physical storage.

Also HD-DVD will use 24/96 MLP of DVD-audio. Blu-Ray is still limited to the next generation of standard doby and DTS.

Again, link or article, please.

Blu-Ray will sound better then SD-DVD but HD-DVD takes it a step even further. Japanese Studio Poly Cannon and Time Warner both fully back HD-DVD. Universal, Fox, Artisan, and Disney all support HD-DVD over Blu-Ray. They voted for HD-DVD in the Forum and rejected joining the Blu-Ray association. Studios are attracted to HD-DVD for its cheaper price and better sound quality. No studio other then Columbia Tristar has shown any intrest in Blu-Ray.

False. No companies have I read outwardly support HD-DVD. Show me the articles. Sony is set to purchase MGM. Fox supports D-VHS, as does Universal and Artisan. Warner and Disney are swing votes. ALL major makers back Blu-ray, driving costs down. Cost isn't an issue.

Also the DVD forum is made up of 210 companies. Only 13 companies back Blu-Ray. Also both formats are backwards compatible. Anything else would be suicide. The difference is HD-DVD can read both red and blue lasers with the same diode. Blu-Ray requires two diodes to read both formats. Since the majority of a players cost is in laser diodes Blu-Ray players will be signifigantly more expensive then HD-DVD players.

Blu-ray uses the same diode at different wavelengths.

Both formats have strenghes and weaknesses. However, blantenly telling someone they are wrong with little to back yourself up with makes you appear no less wrong. Like I said, show me where you got your info. Then, be more polite and my rebuttel or aceptence will be in turn.
