Poke said:Good Read On Blu-Ray and HDDVD. Overall I think in the long run Blu-ray will be the standard for movies so on due to most of the big movie company's want Blu-Ray.Plus Sony and most of the big manufactures have already got Blu-Ray players and recorders made. To where HDDVD might be more for PC side of things since Microsoft is in the PC market.
Anyway here the read http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=175400242
BR is the most disgusting pro-MPAA consortium for long time.
If anybody spend 5 minutes with comparing the standards, anybody can see our best bet is clearly HD-DVD, not BR. When BR, despite its very weak protection layer (0.1mm versus DVD and HD-DVD's .6mm), dropped the cartridge, I decided to refuse this whole fake circus show around BR. They are much more about the circus than actual products - hwereas months ago I held a slim notebook HD-DVD drive in my hands at Toshiba's and MS' booth.
Seriously, BR is mostly vaporware promises until today (don't confuse those already outdated current BR-dubbed suitcase-sized units in Japan with upcoming BR). F.e. they announced almost a year ago one of their 50 gig disc - of which pilot production will just start in January. Hilarious. The biggest scam group ever, I think.
