After making my choice to go with and stick to HD DVD, I am a little worried like presumably most of you are. My worries lie in the fact that i'm being told and also thinking Blu Ray is ultimately going to win because it has more studio support. Is this the main concern, any possible way of this changing if so how and why?

For all the claims of more studio support, both formats are almost dead even in releases....

As always, J6P will decide this war. Until one side makes a player for a price that J6P can stomach (probably about $150), there will be no winner and DVD will continue to rule.

Don't worry, the studios are impressed I'm sure at how well HD DVD is doing, and continues to do, and shows no signs of slowing down. And look at the inexpensive players coming to market this year, and you've got yourself a base that the studios will not ignore. HD DVD is in this to win!

what is the latest on component input for hd and blue ray players as far as high def output?

And now Costco are starting to sell The Toshiba A2 HD DVD Player, as well as a few HD DVD movies. Customer User base should pick up quickly what with the Players coming down in price. Studios will have to sit up and Listen soon. And don't forget we have the Matrix effect

Component has always worked just fine.

Go to www.hidefdigest.com and count the number of studios releasing on both formats...

Also be leary of the OP motives...post history is very interesting
