1159561 2010-12-07 03:36:00 When a big sale comes and you need something to play movies on then buy a Blu ray. A Blu ray buner, Why? Hard drive space is cheaper. If you watch a movie on good TV can you really tell the differnce from DVD HD vs Blu ray? lostsoul62 (16011)
1159562 2010-12-07 03:38:00 I dont think DVD is HD. Its upscaled to look like bluray / HD. Speedy Gonzales (78)
1159563 2010-12-07 03:42:00 Seems pretty obvious that you would be talking about burning downloaded movies to DVD/bluray. if the content is in proper 1080p HD then it won't fit on a DVD. Compressed 720p does though...is it pirated by any chance? :p wratterus (105)
1159564 2010-12-08 01:18:00 Yes you can get HD on a DVD.
No I am not talking about burning downloaded movied, I'm talking about burning data.
So with the prices the way they are, why buy a Blu ray?

1159565 2010-12-08 01:26:00 Why not, since a bluray can play both. A dvd player cant Speedy Gonzales (78)
1159566 2010-12-08 01:34:00 It depends on if you want to just play BlueRay or also write to blueray as to the prices of the drives though. Snorkbox (15764)
1159567 2010-12-08 03:16:00 Exactly what are we talking about here

HD-DVD : the original competitor to Bluray?? with up to 30G capacity??
en.wikipedia.org

or a small avi,mpg whatever encoded into 1080p that MIGHT run on SOME dvd players. But really only good for PC's
Generally being much lower bitrate than blueray

or some other chinese based DVD format ,like the old CVD (VCDish Type format)
that play on b8gger all set top DVD players

1159568 2010-12-08 03:35:00 Pirated movies come out in 720p in 4.3GB MKV files usually, which would fit on a DVD, but doesn't work in most bluray players (They don't recognize the Matroska container).

Basically: If it's HD (720p upwards), it's going to be on a Bluray disc
If it's a DVD, it's not HD, even though theoretically you could cram a movie into a dual-layered DVD-9 disc, the big movie companies simply don't.

HDDVD on the other hand is a technology MS invested in for their 360, but they have conceded defeat for movies etc, and so they're pretty much just released for Bluray now.
