all proprietary formats are lame. now the "little guy" can"t make a next-gen dvd player because he"d have to pay Sony ridiculous amounts of money.
how the heck did Blu-Ray actually win this battle?
Well the title gives away your BIAS.
Both formats are PROPRIATARY, While Sony and Phillips created Blu Ray, Toshiba & Hitachi own HD DVD licencing rights.
The key seems to be that consumers are starting to show a preference for Blu Ray. Maybe because there is more/better Blu Ray product along with the tie in to PS3?

Even the old CD is a Sony proprietary format, so the issues are not unique to Blu-ray.
I had predicted that Blockbuster would endorse Blu-ray over HD-DVD because they are so much more scratch proof.

I wonder what's wrong with my current DVDs? I guess my poor eyesight saves me from the affliction of awareness of poor quality video.

Apparently the Format war has ended as Toshiba quits making HD-DVD.

Any time a new information technology emmerges there will always be a format war, but one side will eventually win due to convenience and the necessity of portability.
Even Apple eventually had to throw in the towel after all these decades and switch to IBM compatible hardware because they were pissing in the wind. Why compete over a format? Compete over quality, price, and content of your product.
Why does everyone in the World learn English as either their primary or secondary language? Because the UK, US, and their colonies and puppet states have practically ruled the world for 400 years, and either you learn to communicate with them, or you just sit in a dark age in your own corner of the globe.

if you look really close, you can see the pixels.
it's a "big" problem.

Must be science-affliction.
Both Blu-Ray and DVD's have the same quality. I can't figure out the admiration for the Blue, can you?

Maybe you can see better quality if you will stop cadr? but how I know there still used bluring motions in videos and thus no any diference,becouse esys looking abstractly...
Edit: I think in all videos need don't use motion bluring and use not 23-25 FPS, but 30 or maybe even 60 FPS!

Some editing of your own DavidD would help me understand your post. 
All right, if you are skeptical of Blu-ray or aren't sure quite what the big deal is, there's no better movie than Transformers to make you a believer.
On 1080p, the picture is crystal clear, the colors are vibrant, and the sound is amazing, I swear you can practically feel those freakin' robots.
Full of good bonus features that update in real-time (BD-Live capabilities). Plus Michael Bay talks about how they took each Transformer from toy to movie star. Definitely the most worthy of all my Blu-ray titles in terms of sight and sound.

I sow 720i resolution at GT and it visible, that not picutre-frame movie, but bluring jingle bingle if there much motions in frame(s)...
Of course the same probably also at DVD quality...
But for me not very interesting blueray, since now everything is from internet you know, for free... Of course to download 25GB or 50 GB is not best solution, but I think you don't have in your eyes such resolution of 1080*1920=2073600 = 2Mpixels. Seems that human have about 6-7 milions of cells sensitive for colour light, but I don't know is there 6 milions for each colour or with all coulourse, if with all colourse then there is only 6/3=2 milions pixels resolution of human vision. So like blueray, but possible, that human usauly concentraiting his attention at only very limited object... and then real concentration resolution can be about 640*480=307200= 307 Kpixels. Of course when you waching movie you can look at many objects and thus repeat many times movie... But still in you brain will be recorded only about 10 KB in best case about this movie, that somebody fak somebody and somebody kill somebody and somebody is very profesional with guns and somebody with legs and somebody have nice car or shirts and so on. Also maybe you will remeber recorder faces in you brain with 5 KB each. Maybe even those faces are recorded by some spots on face and if there is very big nose or very some not usual, then maybe this only be recorded and normaly you will not recognise without some context information possible...
