codec problem

[Zero1]

Dual sided dual layer DVDs theoretically hold 17GiB, or in real terms about 16,200MB, but those are extremely rare, and I certainly doubt writeable DSDL DVDs are a) cost effective b) freely available.

I figured he wasn't talking about double-sided, since a double-sided dual-layer BRD would approach 100GB. And yeah, HD-DVD is for fags

I'd rather be a fag than support Sony

God dammit no edit button.

Also yeah, HD-DVD makes use of VC1 and H.264 more than Blu-ray. I've heard some people complain about MPEG-2 being blocky shit on Blu-ray.

I remember some Sony big shot saying they are using MPEG-2 because it gives them "better quality". lolwut. Are they trying to tell me 40mbps MPEG-2 is better than 20mbps H.264? nothx.

Then in another article I saw someone else saying that the reason they use MPEG-2 is because an encode takes probably a day or so wheras H.264 can take a couple of weeks, so if they screw up, it's less time wasted with MPEG-2.

I can't take anyone seriously who thinks that 40mbps MPEG-2 or whatever bitrate they use is better than 20mbps H.264. H.264 is 3 or 4 times more efficient on almost a like for like basis, this is disregarding any advanced psychovisual trickery.
