This isn't a one-track thing.
Like I said HD-DVD with MPEG-4 holds more information then Blu-Ray with MPEG-2. Both formats will include full 1080p quality. I don't think either will look better. I do think HD-DVD will have better sound. The DVD forum is planning lossless codecs for HD-DVD. I have heard nothing of Sony doing that for Blu-Ray. If you have heard DVD-A you will know how much better it is to any movie soundtrack on DVD. HD-DVD promises that quality for movies. Blu-Ray is working on the next generation of current DVD sound formats. It will sound better then current DVD but HD-DVD will have the audio advantage.
