(The argument is moot because all the movie studios have abandoned the HD-DVD format).
Yes, the BluRay disks have twice the storage which COULD allow extra content. But take the "Blade Runner – Directors Cut" package. The HD-DVD set had 5 disks. The BluRay set – had 5 disks.
BluRay disks are actually BD Java programs. Each new disk has to be ‘booted’ which is why these players are so slow compared to a standard DVD player. HD-DVD is a simpler and cheaper disk to create and is not a program.
Toshiba was behind the HD-DVD and they have abandoned it. Sony is behind the BluRay format and has raised prices on disks and players since Toshiba announced it was dropping the format.
Hope this gives you some info you did not already know.
Both disks can carry full length movies at 1080p.
