How come more of Blu Ray movies are grainy when compared to Hd Dvd?

I use both formats and have realised that blu ray movies have more 'grain'.

None of the Hd Dvd movies I have suffer from this.How come more of Blu Ray movies are grainy when compared to Hd Dvd?
I think it's just coincidence in the specific movies you have viewed.



Both HD DVD and Blu-ray are capable of producing at least as much detail as the film print normally seen in theaters (although maybe slightly less than the master print).



Many HD movies don't look as clear as we may wish ... usually because they are intentionally grainy, have a distinct hue, or otherwise reflect the Director's intent, or because the studio didn't do a great jog of mastering the digital copy. In addition, some early Blu-ray movies were produced using inferior video formats (e.g. Mpeg 2) that could be interpreted as grainy looking.



While specific poor releases do exist in both formats, experts agree that overall, there is essentially no video quality difference between Blu-ray and HD DVD.
Grain is not a function of sharpness. When you see grain in a movie (assuming it is a well produced movie) it is almost always on purpose. Movies like 300, Black Hawk Down and others that try to convey a grittiness use a grainy filmstock to help convey the right feel, just like music is used to convey an emotion. Other movies use a superfine grain to convey a slick feel, like UltraViolet.

Film is way sharper than even 1080P so you could never see the grain unless they want you to, unless it is very poorly produced.How come more of Blu Ray movies are grainy when compared to Hd Dvd?

Ahem... HD is no more, so... this is like asking why 8-tracks sounded better than cassette. ITS TRAVESTY!
