they are infact the same, they use the same coding and compression. both use hd dolby, visually you will not see a difference in the picture or hear a difference in the sound. The difference come in the technology itself.
hd dvd can hold up to 25gb of data on a single layer while blu ray can hold 50gb on a single layer. blu ray will win this for because of one reason, data storage. Againthey are the same when it comes to quality of video, i too own both, but when the computer world start to look at the two formats for data storage, blu ray will take off because it can hold twice the data of hd dvd.
yes hd dvd has a 50gb disc in the works but it is on a dual layer which will mean new tech to read it as current hd dvd lasers can only read a single layer. blu ray is set to go and that is the only reason blu ray will win the format war
