So, does that mean that Blu-Ray (BDROM) will fail?  (I definitely 
wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.  After all, technology that 
survives rarely does so on merit.)

But, if done right, DVD's in 720x480 anamorphic widescreen on a 1080p TV 
can give nearly the same quality output as HDTV in 1080i/p on a 1080p TV...
