HD-DVD has the advantage now because of its better codecs. Blu-Ray at MPEG-2 versus HD-DVD at MPEG-4 and VC-9 is no contest. HD-DVD is better in every way. In terms of prerecorded media Blu-Ray has no advantage of any kind. It would hold 30% more information and be 20% cheaper. If Blu-Ray adopts VC-9 and MPEG-4 then it will have my support. HD-DVD would loose both advantages. Since though Blu-Ray is more expensive per disc to make then HD-DVD the cost of making two HD-DVD would be quite a bit more then one Blu-Ray. With Blu-Rays higher storage it would make needing more then one disc unnessessary. Because of this most studios might change there minds. HD-DVD name would be its only advantage. But as of now HD-DVD has officially supported the better codecs well Blu-Ray has not. As a result I am now all on the HD-DVD camp.
