Xbox Live Marketplace Videos vs. HD-DVD
>> From xyhd.tv:
[QUOTE]
Lets start with the Basics. HD-DVD has the potential to be 36.55 Megabits per second, but tends to average about half of that. Marketplace videos or at least the one I checked out 'V for Vendetta' is 6.5 Megabits VBR. Account for 720p vs 1080p and you are looking at about 2.25 more pixels so pixels per bit the two are pretty close.
Conclusion
HD-DVD is spectacular I was unable to find a single artifact in the copy of 'V for Vendetta' the same was true for Tokyo Drift which is rather hard content to encode. Marketplace videos on most TV's in most home theatres, also spectacular. You being the Video enthusiast and cocky SOB that you probably think you have a home theatre that the quality difference will matter, well you are probably wrong.
Unless you have:
* A 1080p Display, that really runs at 1920x1080 as its native resolution.
* Have paid someone to calibrate the TV to reference, not the Dynamic, or Vibrant mode that many TV's are set to.
* Have disabled noise reduction on your TV.
* Are Viewing in a theatre lit room.
