Blue ray

other than storage is the access and write speeds nobody mentioned it
dvd: 16x CAV (avg. ~12x) read speed is max 21.13MB/s source
blu ray: "400mbps or ?50MB/s?"theoretically

According to the Blu-ray Disc specification, 1x speed is defined as 36Mbps. However, as BD-ROM movies will require a 54Mbps data transfer rate the minimum speed we're expecting to see is 2x (72Mbps). Blu-ray also has the potential for much higher speeds, as a result of the larger numerical aperture (NA) adopted by Blu-ray Disc. The large NA value effectively means that Blu-ray will require less recording power and lower disc rotation speed than DVD and HD-DVD to achieve the same data transfer rate. While the media itself limited the recording speed in the past, the only limiting factor for Blu-ray is the capacity of the hardware. If we assume a maximum disc rotation speed of 10,000 RPM, then 12x at the outer diameter should be possible (about 400Mbps). This is why the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) already has plans to raise the speed to 8x (288Mbps) or more in the future.

[Apokalipse]

why not?

because his hard drive(s) have more than 100GB

because his hard drive(s) have more than 100GB

exactly. I have 700gb total and about 350 of that is used.

blu-ray has won just look at the figures in jan it surpassed hd-dvd total sales. and is outselling hd-dvd by 3.5:1, also more people are backing it up, i mean the suits of course and some of hd-dvd's supporters have jumped ship also. i have experienced both formats firsthand, kin kong on hd-dvd looks good, but saw!!! looks better and has better audio. like true hd audio, im just waiting to buy a denon receiver though so i can kik this bose out the window.

Ok, But before you flash all these statistics at me, try to learn some simple english first. And why does buying a Denon receiver mean you can kick bose out the window ? Bose what ? Eh you make no sence.

Also you cannot compare two different films on two different formats, different cameras would of been used. And its a different picture.
