Certainly don't want to wage a war (we had one and probably still do on a few HD/BR threads ) but that conversion has not affected picture quality on HD-DVDs yet. At least the early comparisons haven't highlighted this as a concern or even an issue.

Still, it's something that the HD group will have to address if indeed Blu-Ray (even if just on paper) can potentially improve the image.

Actually no one in America knows if the process from 1080p/24 to 1080p/60 goes through interlacing. The Toshiba executives don't know and that question to Japan has yet to be answered. The prototype HD-XA2 at CEDIA was not opened to see what's in the belly of the unit. And there could be changes before the production unit gets finalized.
