The DVD Forum Steering Committee has finally approved amended specifications for the 51 GB three layer HD DVD disc, meaning the disc, dubbed Version 2.0, can possibly begin to move into production.

It is not completely clear whether the decision officially opens the door for production to begin but those details should be available soon. The new, larger capacity HD DVD should help the format gain even more ground in its war against Blu-ray as the Blu-ray camp has long advocated its superiority due to the ability to generate 50 GB titles.

This is pretty irrelevant to someone like myself, I've bought a grand total of about 5 DVDs and not in a rush to buy the latest technology, call me old fashioned by I still refuse to buy low quality 128bit virtual music, I'd rather buy a CD which is infinately better quality and will last a lifetime not until my pc crashes or someone nicks an overpriced white box.

Ahhh but you see, you're supposed to find the high quality 243 kbs CD rips off torrents ;)
 
anyone remember SACD??

another venture of Sony's to take over the market that failed miserably, they always try and come up with a branded version of technology and it hardly ever works for them. They must lose millions that way.

Like Sony cameras... they have to have a sony memory stick why cant they just be designed to use SD cards?

But i suppose alot of people call there flash drives memory sticks....
 
thanks for being an early adopter ;)

The BDA has explained why early adopters of the format will not be rewarded for supporting the HD format in its earliest stages because the Blu-ray camp needed to "create momentum" in its battle against rival HD DVD.

Frank Simonis, the European chairman of the Blu-ray Disc Association, was the one who spoke out about why new standards (such as Profile 1.1) took so long to hit the market.

"We needed to create momentum and get the players on the market", he said.

"If we had postponed launch to add in the hardware for the latest features, we would not be in the situation we have today."

Most early adopters who do not have the latest "Final Profile" will not be able to take full advantage of the format and its additional bonus features, without purchasing a new Blu-ray player. The new profile will not be available as a firmware update for older players, he added.
 
cant go wrong with a normal dvd on a dvd player with hdmi in my eyes. that way you dont have to pay outlandish prices for hd dvds!

plus most films i aqquire (totally legal:D) on my pc come in hd nowdays anyway so once you burn them the quality is mostly there.

p.s does burning to divx format loose quality?
 
I use HDDVD, They are region free and have had all the extras that bluray are bringing in now for ages.

I just hope HD DVD can pull through in the end and come out the winner.
 
Having viewed both formats on my Toshiba LCD, using PS3 Bluray and 360 HD dvd, I can say that the Bluray was a little on the grainy side, aside from that there was no difference.

I now have neither format just relying on normal DVD, and it will remain that way till a format finally gets decided.
