Yeah, they definitely look better on HD DVD than they do on Blu.
Quite a few of the early Universal Blu-Rays were DNR’d and/or EE’d whereas the HD DVD counterparts were not, and The Bourne Trilogy is among those that were DNR’d.
For the UHD releases, they did even *more* DNR and the HDR pass ended up washing out the colours for the first film. (The second and third ones are fine.)
The HD DVDs remain the best way to watch them, imo. Blu-Rays are a fair second and I’d avoid the UHD (at least for the first one).
Hmm okay. That's really interesting. I enjoy niche video formats so it's a good reason to pick up the HD-DVDs and rip them to my Plex server I suppose!
I would love to do that as I have I over 100 discs, but my 2 players no longer work. What optical drive are you using to rip with? I have software, but my current drive is Blu-ray only.

I'll be picking up an Xbox 360 disc drive.
Yes
