The HD-DVD bandwidth was designed for high-def movies in mind. Blu-Ray's bandwidth was designed for raw data in mind. This is why Blu-Ray's bandwidth is higher. But higher bandwidth does not equal higher quality. Or do you believe that a 10x increase in bandwidth would result in a 10x increase in picture and sound quality? I'll bet the pixels would sparkle! I'll bet the sound would be more realistic than reality!

This is incorrect. The higher bitrate on Blu-ray is 100% for video. In fact, BOTH HD DVD and Blu-ray use ~36Mbps as their base 1x bitrate. Blu-ray specified a 1.5x speed *for video*. All video players are required to support ~54Mbps raw transfer speeds.

That is completely independent of data - and the base 1x data rate is 36Mbps. Though drives are 2x or 4x now.

The higher bitrate has nothing to do with data, it is even unique to the video players and not used on data drives (except when playing video).
