I'm back to you. HD DVD can do lossless audio. Also, the scratch-resistant coating is not a feature. It's only there because the data layer on Blu-Ray is .01mm away from the surface. The coating is a necessity--not a feature. If it gets scratched, that's it--you've torn through the data. HD DVD, on the other hand, is as resilient as DVD. It's the scratch-resistant surface on BD that limits single-sided discs to around 22GB and double-sided to 45GB before yields go down the tube. Some feature.
DVD isn't that scratch resilient. It's actually kind of a pain with rentals - and that's all I do because videos aren't really worth me buying anymore.
