Do you really need your making-of featurettes and HBO First Look
specials in HD? Most of these things weren't shot in HD in the first
place, and upscaling a Standard Definition video featurette to store it
on disc in HD would just be a waste of disc space when the HD-DVD player
can upscale it during playback later.

The movie will be encoded in true High Definition. Isn't that what
really matters?
