Blu-ray vs. HD DVD – Round 1 goes to HD DVD


August 2nd, 2006

Training Day in Blu-ray Disk formatHigh-Def Digest got their hands on Training Day, one of the 1st movies available in both high-definition formats, played it on their fancy reference monitor, examined the images, listened to the sound, and decided that they preferred the HD DVD version.

And apparently, it wasn’t even close – in the reviewers opinion, HD DVD provided not only a superior picture, but the sound and menu navigation were also better than that provided by Blu-ray.

The reviewers hold out a ray of hope for the Blu-ray Disk, however, by suggesting that BD movies move to the VC-1 video codec (already supported by the BD spec) and/or move to dual-layer…the BD-HD wars go on.
