From review:
High bitrate AVC is better than VC-1 on HD DVD ...at least in this case.

As has become customary with Paramount releases, 'Flags of our Fathers' comes with different encodes depending on which next-gen format you prefer. In a side by side comparison of the film between the the AVC MPEG-4 transfer on this Blu-ray version and the VC-1 transfer on the HD DVD, it does seem that the Blu-ray/AVC encode is the tiniest bit sharper, while the HD DVD/VC-1 is the slightest bit softer. Neither is an advantage to my eyes and each encode is identical otherwise -- fans of both camps should be ecstatic to see this film looking so good.

Wow, did you guys even read the review? You're trumpeting something that is the tiniest perhaps imperceptible difference? Yet you ignore the obvious different quality in audio?

Is it necessary to watch Flags Of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima in the order they came out or do you lose anything by watching Letters first?

Blu-ray once again shows why it's the only HD format that matters. For an HDDVD biased site like HighDefDigest to admit the Blu-ray version is "tiniest bit sharper" that means it's quite a bit better. I'll take the disc with the better picture quality, thank you Paramount!
