We just did another demo this morning and it was clear to me and some tech guys that the HD DVD was superior, but yet to friends it doesnt really hold up as well. They are not as interested in tech.

You will have to understand that not everyone will know the codec on a particular disc. "Very good" does not equal "excellent." I thought it looks very good- Ill stand by it. Maybe it would be better with VC-1. I didn't even know that it wasn't vc-1.

I really think this projector rolls off the grey scale at the lower IREs too quickly.

HD broadcasts that are carried on cable or sat tv here do not look as good as DVD for the reason that the low bit rates= terrible macro blocking and break up during fast action. I find this terribly more distracting than a lack of resolution. Point is- the formats still have to convince people they are worth adopting and when their prime argument is technical superiority and when the average person may not see it this equals trouble ahead.

Heres some enjoyable reading:

This fellow did well in his interview.

George,
Why did you break them up? I thought it was a good idea as consolidated stickies.
