The quality is secretly better than Blu Ray and costs too much to make and so therefore they were stopped being made

The quality of HD DVD and blu-ray are independent of either format. Some releases had the exact same video files.

It was obsolete upon release. Blu Ray is literally technically better.

What are your holy grails for your HD-DVD collection?
Mine are Blade Runner: The Final Cut, The Place Promised in Our Early Days and 5 Centimeters Per Second.

Blade Runner was great on HD-DVD, I even got the briefcase edition.
And the quality is also great.
I also have the briefcase edition Blu-ray, the Special Edition Criterion LaserDisc, the Director's Cut LaserDisc and the Director's Cut DVD.

And as for The Place Promised in Our Early Days and 5 Centimeters Per Second.
I got them when I was in Japan sometime in 2008.
I also have the Japanese and Hong Kong Blu-rays of both films (the Hong Kong versions are the deluxe editions which have book cases which are rare now), their limited edition Japanese DVD equivalents, US DVDs, UK DVDs, Hong Kong DVDs, Taiwanese DVDs and Korean DVDs.
As well as the US Blu-ray of 5 Centimeters Per Second and the UK Makoto Shinkai Double Feature Blu-ray of The Place Promised in Our Early Days and The Voices of a Distant Star.

It was literally this.
The porn industry decided the winner as they did with Beta vs VHS.

>Porn on physical media actually used to be a thing

I'm 30 and I've never owned any porn tapes or DVDs, never paid for porn. I seriously have no idea how its a viable business with the advent of the internet.

>>82367813
Porn on DVD was a big thing but not as big as VHS. Porn on Bluray was hyped because it promised an amazing view but wasn't as big as DVD because broadband internet had become the norm.

>>82367813
Just because you're NEET doesn't mean that people don't pay for porn. Back in the day before porn steam sites were a thing, you'd have to buy that shit or subscribe to a site.

>>82363403
"blu-ray" sounds cooler. Marketing rules at the end of the day.

>>82363403
Blu-ray is Sony technology. Sony pushed it hard and put it on the PS3. A few studios got on board with Blu-ray and then Sony paid the rest to abandon HD-DVD.

It was just business.

>as they did with Beta vs VHS.
Porn didn't decide the winner of Beta and VHS. VHS won because the players were cheaper, you could fit an entire movie onto one tape, and those two factors influenced what formats video rental stores stocked.

HD DVD and Blu-ray both use the same codec (H.264/AVC or MPEG-2).

Blu-ray had maximum 50 GB capacity (now expanded to 128 GB with BDXL) while HD DVD had max of 30 GB, which means Blu-rays could store the same movie at 60% higher bit rate if the producers to chose to take full advantage of Blu-ray's larger capacity.

>>82368908
The bitrate does not change, it's part of the codec. The larger BR discs are used to fit more extras.

>bitrate doesn't change

H.264 and most modern video codec can encode at arbitrary bit rate.

Blu-ray and HD DVD both have some standards on what bitrates the movie can be encoded at (and there is a maximum since all Blu-ray players must be able to read the disc and some players were designed to be just fast enough to read and decode the maximum allowed bitrate in the spec), but you have choices on bitrate and studios rarely use the highest possible bitrate.

>>82369146
>>82369170
there is no such thing as streaming, only downloading, it is up to you when you want to trash the file

>>82369407

>>82369449
>Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Well, if you have the hw to consume 4k content but lack the means to easily acquire it is partly on you.
50mbit is the average here and we are your poor eastern neighbours

All the major movie companies went Blu-ray exclusive because blu-rays are more expensive and the production companies get a larger profit.

The little guy gets fucked and the big companies continue to rake it in because consumers are stupid.
