Streaming Video vs. HD DVD


Heroes HD DVD vs. ATSC HD Broadcast Comparison [ Resolution Comparison @ 1920 x 1080 ] > View Full-Size in another window.
Resolution Comparison


HD DVD offers nine times the resolution of the streaming content from NBC.com. It’s hard to beat “free” but it’s not even fair to make the comparison.



Comparison 2: ATSC HD broadcast vs. HD DVD

As much of a videophile as I may be, it’s really hard to tell the difference between the MPEG-2 ATSC broadcast and the VC-1 HD DVD. Sure, there’s a bit more texture to Masi Oka’s face, but when you’re comparing the “day-and-date” HD broadcast and “waiting-until-the-season-is-over” HD DVD box set, the winner is the HD broadcast.

The previous scene took place indoors. I decided to take a look at another scene from Heroes, this time in the well-lit outdoors. Here, the added detail on Hayden Panettiere’s face with the HD DVD is obvious.
