It's already behind Blu-Ray. Can't you read? I found no mention of HD-DVD's release in the the states. In fact, it said no mention of what part of 2005 it was being released in Japan.

MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 are not video standards just compression standards.

What's your point?

MPEG-4 can hold 6x the picture quality at only twice the bit rate. 3x as much information into the space. With that the lower capacity HD-DVD holds 30% more information.

It depends entirely upon the compressionist. If you have good people, you can good equal results with either codec.

As of now with HD-DVD officially backing these better codecs and Blu-Ray currently not I am all for HD-DVD.

Have fun. Are you planning on replacing your entire DVD collection?

And you do all realize that simply because the resolution is higher it doesn't necessarily make it better. Take D-VHS' T2 for example. It is no better than the DVD version. It's actually worse because all the resolution does is expose more print flaws.

Don't look for older movies on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray... they will most likely look worse.
