Shark Apr 18, 2008 Is there any doubt that Universal and Paramount will transfer all their HD DVDs to Blu-ray discs? They will just be HD DVDs Copied to Blu-ray Discs. Mpeg 2 and VC-1 are both antiquated relics from the old DVD format which should be discontinued. Companies still using them should stop as VC 1 is exactly the same as Mpeg2 except for 1 minor change Microsoft made to make it theirs. They both have fixed bit rates which are half of the Blu-ray AVC - Mpeg4 codec. I dont know about you but I was in the Format fight because of all Blu-ray had to offer, and no one said anything about, if Blu-ray wins, we'll just copy our HD DVD's onto Blu-ray Disc's and sell them that. If we give up now on the quality, these guy's will sell us HD DVD copied to Blu-ray Disc's if it will save them a dime and resell us the same movie again in two or three years remastered in AVC Special Editions with DTS Master HD or LPCM audio. Let's not be complete Muppets this time around. Blu-ray should impose AVC Mpeg 4 as the Standard for Blu-ray like Mpeg 2 was for DVD. Let's see if Sony was serious about quality and not just using AVC to win the format war then do what ever they want afterwards. I notice that Sony has released several movies with Dolby True HD Sound tracks which is inferior to LPCM and DTS Master HD so I'd say if we say Nothing were up the creep with out a paddle. Be patient; don't just jump because they put some good titles in front of you. That's what these guy's do to take the suckers out first. When HD DVD brought out these same titles on HD DVD I didn't just go buy a HD DVD player and in the end the better format won. The same goes here. We should hold out for quality so we don't get sucked in again. If these guy's want to sell movies in the future they will have to make new ones and not just sell us the same movies over and over again. And for heaven sakes speak up and make yourselves heard or theyll think you dont care. They counting on you doing nothing, so do or say something. Get involved, and have a say. Thats what this forum is for. Its not the shopping channel, or the everything is ok as long as its on a Blu-ray disc club. Buy the way I was one of the guys that told you not to buy HD DVD, was I right?
