Anything involving titties...Mystique perhaps (is she still alive? I stopped watching whenit got crap. ie; i've only seen the first one and about 3 seconds of the second).

So yes, in summarization, titties.

What the hell? Is the bluray (I'm guessing 720p) version actually that grainy? Keep your frigging high definition if that's the case.

Also a bit off topic but is there really a difference in image quality between BluRay and HD DVD? Do they compress more to on of the formats or what?

Those are 1080i/p versions, and who cares if there's some noise - you won't be able to see it unless you have xbox huge tv or projector set up to watch the movie.

I care. You pay two grand for a HD TV (imho not much point of watching HD material on anything below 37" or so), a 1000 bucks for a player + a movie, maybe 500 or so for a sound system and all you get is this? Please.

Single-layer Blu-Ray media holds less then a dual-layer HD-DVD. Less space = more compression.

Dual-layer Blu-ray media is out now.

All of the rips look grainyish... It does look quite a bit better when it is played but still some grain. What do you expect? Highrez uncompressed photographic quality in each frame? It probably looks better when it plays through the blueray players filters and the televisions filters. Both are 1080.

>>110681Highrez uncompressed photographic quality in each frame?

For the prize of a decent HD system - why, yes. And that isn't a "little" noise, that is a lot. I don't want some automated blurring to a film to remove glitches from the picture. I'll watch a DVD if I want that.

Movies are shot on FILM, film has GRAIN, grain shows up on ANY MASTER, no matter what the format or resolution.

Having a $2000 HD system wont remove grain that was captured on the original film stock, on the set while shooting the movie.

Wait for Final Fantasy to come out on Blu-Ray, then you'll see a clean image.

I understand this. But not every movie is shot in film. Many are shot with digital cameras nowadays. The thing that mostly bugs me is that these films are nowhere near the quality they were hyped up to be.

>>Many are shot with digital cameras nowadays.

Digital cameras still have noise, and sometimes more than film, depending on the situation.

As far as I'm aware, there has only been one fully digital release in a HD format (shot in digital, all digital workflow, digital mastering), which is Superman Returns.

Go check out the Blu-Ray copy of that, and you'll still see grain.

BluRay holds more space cause it needs it. It's using an outdated codec and they just jacked up the bitrate. HD DVD uses the new x264 codec. It needs less space to equal DVD, xvid, and BluRay. Thats why they can make the capacity lower.

If BluRay pulls its head out of it's ass and switches to x264 it will OWN HD DVD.

Moral: Buy your movies on HD DVD and back up your hentai collection on BluRay.

Recent tests have shown that there's basically no quality difference between Bluray and HD DVD, since they're no longer using Sony's shitty mpeg-2 only encoding suite. Please read up, noob, studios switched months ago.

It has also been shown that due to certain restrictions in the BD/HD bitstream formats, quality reaches a plateau that can't be crossed even with the best encoders in difficult scenes.

And it's well known that the shittiness of film stock is going to overpower HD - many films look grainy on DVD, picture that at 6x the resolution! X3 is actually one of the best-looking films from a "cleanness" standpoint, aside from a small amount of digitally-induced grain, and older movies will look considerably worse.

Digicams used in film (such as Sony's HDCAM) have significantly less grain than silver-based film. They aren't comprable with consumer-grade digicams (more like high-speed SLRs). Commonly, films that are shot digitally will have grain added in post-processing to give it a "film look" and mask some deficiencies.

Blu-Ray movies look worse thatn HD-DVD movies because Blu-Ray movies (except for those put out by studios publishing for both HD-DVD & Blu-Ray) are encoded in MPEG-2. it would be like if DVDs were encoded in MPEG-1. it would take a lot more than 5GB to make them the same as MPEG-2.

HD-DVD uses VC-1 which is the second best version of MPEG-4 besides h.264 AVC

VC-1 is also owned by MS which is why Sonys being a little bitch and not switching.

HD-DVD for movies
Blu-Ray for PC data

Any movie on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray encoded in h264.

have there been any released in it? i thought all the studios agreed on either MPEG-2 or VC-1 because AVC requied too much HP

ive only seen MPEG-2 or VC-1, never seen an AVC

Honestly I'm not impressed. It all looks more like 720p or whatever widescreen format EDTV has that was scaled to 1080p. I mean, that Multipass still looks blured even though it's in the same depth of field as everyone else.
>> Hazard !ErY2TknG0w

Blu-Ray players can decode MPEG2, AVC, and VC-1. The same for HD-DVD, and the new DVD-ROMS. What studios decide to use what encoding you'll have to check.

Behind Enemy Lines on Blu-Ray is AVC.

This doesn't matter. As long as it was made on film, it can be scanned in resolutions way exceeding HDTV. Think somewhere in the 6000x3500 order.

These Fifth Element screencaps look like total shit, and are disgrace to be called HD. I can't say if it's just upscaled DVD, but something is very wrong with them. Did anyone notice the vertical lines? What the hell are these?
