Re: Blu Ray of HD DVD? Which will win out?
question (may sound dumb):
do current dvds present pre-HD tv shows, e.g., seinfeld, in the highest possible quality?

Re: Blu Ray of HD DVD? Which will win out?
DVDs are the same resolution as standard def tv - 480 lines.
So the answer to your question is yes. But they look better because you have none of the interference/imperfections generally associated with cable, etc.

Re: Blu Ray of HD DVD? Which will win out?
[ QUOTE ]
Keep in mind HD is still lower resolution than 35mm (or better) source material. Film > Digital. But for home theater anything shot digitally should look better. [/ QUOTE ] Technically this is true, however you almost never get to see clean undamaged film shown from a well calibrated projector on a clean undamaged screen. Most people who see HD digital video for the first time are blown away by the realism in a way that film doesn't match. It completely breaks down the awareness of watching a recording and makes it feel like you're looking out the window. Of course if you have a crappy LCD with bad blacks and side viewing that ruins the illusion as well.

My local theater now has DLP projectors and they blow the film projectors out of the water, because you always have the blemishes/dust/scratches on film.

[/ QUOTE ] That's a definite advantage, but while they may look better to you than most film projectors, under ideal circumstances (pristine copy of the film in a good theater), film is still king. But, I would guess stuff shot digitally (e.g. the new star wars movies) would look better on DLP since the source is digital.

I agree, I'm just saying that those perfect conditions never exist at your average cineplex. [/ QUOTE ] And even if they did, they wouldn't after a short amount of time.

Re: Blu Ray of HD DVD? Which will win out?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm looking to pick up an HD DVD player? Should I get Blu Ray instead? A little help please. [/ QUOTE ] Grab a PS3 or a Xbox 360 with a HD-DVD add on. Neither format is must have right now, so keep that in mind, but Blu Ray does have more support currently.
