    I'm surprised how many hit that mark. I think I've ripped about 30 discs so far and most are at around 40gb. Is it uncompressed audio?

    Partly the reason; you often have more tracks (either lossless or uncompressed audio in mulitple languages), more extras, because the studios can stuff extra things in with the extra capacity

    But the max video bitrate for blu-ray spec is higher @ 40Mbps compared to HD-DVD which is ~29Mbps - this doesn't mean the studios always max out on video bitrate, far from it - but it means they could use higher bitrate if then wanted to

    Not to mention that HD-DVD's almost always are VC-1 encoded vs blurays which do come in h264 more often.
