The rout is on for Blu-Ray
Johnny 53, you need to look up any pro review of the first two hd dvd players which would randomly freeze movies or lock up completely for no reason at all.Audio buzzes in certain channels via analog, lip sync issues ectMy two hd dvd players both ... 
HD-DVD Officially Dead
Knownothing, Oppo has already announced a BD player.Blu-ray is the superior tech despite what a couple of naysayers have tried to preach in this thread.Warner has publically stated that BD was cheaper and easier to encode than hd dvd was because o... 
The rout is on for Blu-Ray
There will be no hd dvd movies or players in a month or so as Toshiba is going to stop losing hundreds of dollars on each player after Blockbuster, Best Buy, Netflix and now Wall Mart have gone Blu.For once, the superior format has won. 
Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
Sorry Rysa,expected to be released, is the same old rumour spun once again with zero official backup.You say hd dvd players are more powerful, but nothing could be farther from the truth.Upcoming releases of Face Off and Blades of Glory in both fo...

Newbie 13, a few days after Target announced that the Sony s-300 Blu-ray player was the only stand alone that would be sold in their store this Holiday season, and for a week straight neither had them available online.Maybe they were waiting on th...

Shadorne, content is and always will be king IMO,and all that HD audio on Blu-ray exclusives from Sony, Disney, Fox and MGM doesn't hurt either.

Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Rysa, thats a very good point that there will indeed be some sort of problems with the first BD players also.Theres an insider opinion from a guy from Warner and his group...that the Samsung BD player is basically far better than the Toshiba hd dv... 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Another flub on the part of Toshiba is that these players clip blacks via hdmi...but not component, which I find very ironic since hdmi is supposed to be the defacto standard. 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
The DD+ signal will not pass via optical or coaxial....so it downgrades it to hi bit tate DTS....or at least your gear reads it as DTS...which is 15 db down on Warner titles.Only Analog or Hdmi can handle the bandwidth of the DD+ signal.Hdmi,as we... 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Flrnlamb, theres better resolution than double bit rate DTS as well as the higher bit rate DD available on some D-vhs tapes.It almost sounds discrete for each channel with greater dynamics as well as cleaner sounding.The reason you have to use ana... 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Rysa...the first titles don't have DTS, in any form, there supposed to play regular DD via analog...but this is actually DD+ which displays as DTS via coax or optical...confusing right?Any way, I don't have an hdmi audio option , but managed to ge... 
Any news about new DD/DTS upgrade on HDDVD?
Rysa is correct...I bought a Toshiba hd dvd player...and the audio via coax or analog is down 8-10 db and sounds very undynamic with weak bass.SD DVD sounds far better...and the only way to get good audio from the Toshiba...is via an hdmi receiver...
