*nekrosoft13* · 02-01-2008

on average HD-DVD looks better, almost every HD-DVD is encoded with AVC or VC1.

There is far to much MPEG2 crap in blu-ray. Another bad thing is that most BD movies don't mention what codec was used on the box. You never know if you are buying a good AVC/VC1 encoding or some piss-poor MPEG2 encode.
