Some were mastered in high resolution, some were not. Usually you can hope for a higher bitrate audio track, though this too is often short-changed. I doesn't take long to weed out the studios that are more likely to sell you crap.

An excellent resource for PQ ratings for HD-DVD is: AVSForums
Agreed and I seem to be spending a lot of time over at AVS latley thanks to you. However I don't like the fact that out of my 30 HD movies about 30-40% of them were not worth buying IMO. Just thought we can have our own conclusions and opnions here at CDF and they will probably vary from AVS's opinions.
