		It is easy to change to a scene or change settings mid movie without having to wait for the clunky DVD menu's that we have all grown to live with over the years.
		The special features were about the same as a regular DVD and just as disappointing because they were all SD which is not a surprise, but still disappointing.
		As great as HD is, it has a way of bringing out the worst in the content you watch on it; If there are imperfections you can see them.

		DVD has been around for 8 years now and there have been numerous improvements in the build quality of the units.

		Because HD-DVD discs are almost physically identical to current DVD discs, the same production lines can be used to produce both discs, thus saving the expense of building new factories, said Masato Ootsuka, senior manager of the engineering development department at optical disc maker Memory-Tech Corp.
		A pilot line at the company's factory in Tsukuba, north of Tokyo, can be switched between DVD and HD-DVD in five minutes and production of a dual-layer 30GB HD-DVD disc takes 3.5 seconds, compared to 3 seconds for a DVD, Ootsuka said.
		Hardware will also be cheaper to make because its closeness to DVD means it is less complicated, the companies say.
