[quote name='H.Cornerstone']ROFL, when will people understand that the only reason MS supported HD-DVD was to combat the PS3 and Sony who is their main competitor in the gaming market?[/quote]
I respectfully disagree. Like everybody else, MS is in it for the money. They want IP in the next format. They were all set to support both formats until Sony told them to go
themselves, that they wouldn't be supporting HDi on Blu-Ray, and would be actively discouraging the use of VC-1. After that, the only financially responsible decision was to support the format that they could earn licensing dollars from.
[quote name='H.Cornerstone'] I think what people are talking about with using the full compabilities of BD is Lossless audio and AVC codec instead of VC-1.[/quote]
I'm not sure what this is in reference to, but at least for the video codec side of things, VC-1 and AVC at comparable bitrates are incredibly similar. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but there's no clear overall winner. I don't expect Warner to abrubtly shift to using primarily AVC, because they're already very comfortable with VC-1, and know how to get good results with it.
I do agree with you on the audio side. Warner has been very spotty with their lossless support, sometimes offering it on one format but not the other (more often HD DVD, but not always), usually offering it on neither. While I don't expect an overnight turnaround, hopefully their percentage will gradually increase.
