Are you guys even reading what I've said?
Imagine that a director has a 1080p "video commentary" stream for the entire movie... so while you watch the movie you could not only *listen* to the commentary but alternately toggle over to the special effects designs, computer-generated models, alternate angles during production, or story-boarding or even a gorgeous work-in-progress like on Beauty and the Beast.
And what about 3-D? If Lucas makes his next film in 3-D, don't you want that in 1080P? You'd need two video streams simultaneously side-by-side sharing the same bandwidth to make that happen. You could do that with Blu-ray (using VC1 or AVC) but not with HD DVD.
That needs to be streamed simultaneously with the feature film... it's a 2nd video stream just like you have more than one soundtrack option that you toggle when you choose your language or audio choice.
