In some ways yes, but in others, no.
Blu-ray has a higher disc capacity at 50GB by using a shallower
recording depth, but HD DVD managed to get 30GB using the same
recording depth as regular DVD and CD, making for an easier to design
and less expensive optical pickup. So you tell me....which is more
advanced?
In other respects, HD DVD has standard picture-in-picture capability
and interactive ethernet connectivity. Blu-ray will add PIP in
profile 1.1, but that's mandated only for players released after Oct.
31, which explains the flurry of product announcements this week.
Profile 2.0 will add interactive ethernet connectivity (Blu-ray
Live), but that is an optional feature for players.
