"the thing about blu-ray and hd-dvd is the compression method, [edit] Hd dvd uses VC-1 compression while Blu-ray uses mpeg2 compression (mpeg2 two was created about 10 years ago so its getting dated, while vc-1 is fairly new) because of the two using different types of compression it dosent matter if sony ever makes a double layer (50 gig) blu ray disk because you'll actually be able to fit more film and extras on to a thirty gig Hd-dvd. The only reason that i would ever what blu-ray ot win is because the region groupings now have north america grouped with asia (bootlegs***) but then again thats what region free players are made for."
I wonder if there's any difference in quality? If HD-DVD's quality is higher or the same then it seems like it deserves to prevail.

Its not true.
Blu-Ray supports H.264 (MPEG 4), MPEG-2 and VC-1 as does HD-DVD. Initial blu-ray releases have been in MPEG-2 though. I guess thats what the writer bases the information on.
