1. Comment - Intel Wants Unified Hi-Def DVD Format

   (Oct 5, 2005 - 9:24 AM)

   Ok Heres the scoop people for all those who really don't read the white papers on these products.
   
   HD-DVD= Blue laser, disc produced in a similar fashion of DVD (backwards compatible no) will have hybrid discs. Cheaper to produce (speculative) due to similar manufacturing as DVD. Uses a highdef mpeg4 codec (microsoft)
   Higher capacity achieved by 3 layers
   
   Sony Blu-Ray= Blue laser, disc produced differently then current dvd (backwards compatible no, they will have hybrids like HD-DVD). Higher capacity at two layers. Uses highdef mpeg4 codec (microsoft)
   
   So either way they both uses the same codec, they both use blue laser tech instead of red laser technology. The major difference is DRM management, sony blu-ray is implementing practically every single type.
   
   The winner will be determined by cost and ease of use. But consumers are gonna have to buy a new player either way
