It varies from director to director. There's no hard and fast rule.

HD DVD is 1.5 mbps not 640kbps. HD DVD for me!

The movie is 142 minutes long. It would be extremely difficult to compress on a BD25 with MPEG2 compression.

I understand, and this material is probably more difficult than the average film as well. I made the comment when I was under the impression that there was a 2-disc DVD version, and the supplements were dropped. They could have only needed 35 GB or so, but of course that requires a 50GB disc.

Eeek.
I watched this at home last night....I liked 21 grams, but cant say I liked this one. Average imo. Im sooo glad I didnt go see this in the theater. It seemed long.

The Departed should get best picture in my mind.

Just a general question are extras really that important to you? I barely have time to watch the movies, not to mention any extras. How do you guys find the time?

Yes, but this seems to be a case where the director didn't want any extras, or the studio is holding them back for a future release. There aren't extras on the DVD either.

Bzbel on HD DVD looked great last night. Would've liked some extras, but oh well.
