Question: The Met live telecast DVDs for sale in the on-line store promenently show HD. Please clarify: Is HD the same thing as Blu-ray?

Diva: No, they are not the same. It is continuing "war," reminiscent of BETA v. VHS. While Blu-Ray claims its format is clearest and best, there are more HD-DVDs and playback systems being produced and sold (according to reports). Google HD-DVD v. Blu-Ray for sites that will explain more deeply the advantages/disadvantages of each format.
