Thanks for clearing that up about the differing quality of the masters
However I,m still of the opinion that HD-DVD will be a huge success.

On a personal note I was an early adopter of DVD and when I first saw it
I felt it would go on to do what it has done:dominate the market.
Having also seen the quality of HD-DVD,I cannot but help feel the same.

The predominate reasons why DVD was so quickly adopted by "Joe Public"
was in comparison to the video was the convenience and space saving
factors that DVD brought in conjuction with dramatic picture quality
improvement were huge - this will not be the case with HD-DVD space
and convenience stays the same and the picture/sound quality
improvement is less dramatic.The cost of DVD players fell almost
exponentially.

Doubts still exist over the longetivity of plasma screens.

There will no doubt be a market for HDTV but it will remain relativley
modest until such time that standard DVD become obsolete and that in
my opinion is probaly at least 15 years way.

will remain in the hands of the "buffs".
