Re: Disadvantages of HD over DVD
A lot of HDTV looks worse than DVD because of the poor bitrates, but BD/HD-DVD and encodes from them is so much better.
Re: Disadvantages of HD over DVD
yeah, but the problem is that even on some blurays edges are cut off.. so picture becomes 16:9 instead of 2.35:1 or such

Its not always the group that make them like that
How bold of you. Exactly. The source is the single most important factor.
Re: Disadvantages of HD over DVD
Pretty much, don't download scene HD releases, their standards are way too low.
Re: Disadvantages of HD over DVD
The only disadvantage might be the bigger filesize.

Re: Disadvantages of HD over DVD
I don't like to download HD movies because the files are just too damn big to sacrifice so much drive space just for better quality.

In my case that's not true, since I don't have, um... a "steady source of income". But it's not because I'm too lazy/stupid to have a job. It's because I can't have a job yet ;)
Perhaps I'll look into HD again when I can afford to buy a lot of hard drives. But, until then, I think that they're a waste of space :P
