Chris,

Your comments reminded me how much of a pain in the butt selecting DVD-Audio tracks are on a DVD-Audio when you don't have a display turned on. LOL It was a pain for me and that sort of thing comes easy for me. Like navigating my Hometheater remote. Easy for me but confuses the wife. Even macros confuse the average Joe. With all the selections like resolution and deinterlacing and scaling on a HD display. Think about it...I still to this day walk into someones house and the contrast, brightness tint/hue and color saturation are all over the map. Most people don't have a clue how to set it...or do they care. They just don't have interest in this stuff. So if the HD display is set wrong or the kid got to the controls. HD isn't going to look any better than SD. The HD display in the Best Buy store was a joke. HD on one side an SD on the other. I had to laugh...they looked the same. No difference at all. LOL Pathetic really! People walk by and see that and tell there friends how it isn't worth it. Most people don't see the resolution differences. My wife can hardly tell. And when she does, she just says...so what...it looks good on DVD too. At least with DVD the change was very noticable. 220-240 lines of noisy video (VHS) to 480-525 lines of low signal to noise video (DVD). That stood out big time...plus it doesn't wear out.

That's why I think HD DVD will not make it. If I'm wrong then I will eventually get one but I'm waiting this one out. If it does work out I think it will be many years before it over comes DVD. Unless the studios force the change and just stop selling DVD's
