Movie director Michael Bay is backtracking about the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray war following his recent 'revelation' on Microsoft's dirty format secret.
"Does anyone out here want to challenge what I feel suits my films better in terms of look", Bay said in his own forum in a thread entitled 'Bay HD comments', throwing down the gauntlet.
"I see every frame of my films over a hundred times before it is ever released. I know the lighting conditions I shot it and the result on the DI. I know the range. I know what the final product should look like - Blu Ray suits my films better."
Bay reportedly went a bit ballistic back in August when Paramount announced it was only releasing Transformers on HD DVD and not Blu-ray.
"But that said," the director continued in the post, "I don't a care about this format war because I have both formats in my screening room - I'm just filling you in on what people deep in the film industry feel ultimately is going on".
"Transformers looks great even in DVD!!"
Bay hit the headlines yesterday when he accused Microsoft of sowing seeds of confusion in the HD DVD / Blu-ray war for its own digital download-aim ends.
