Yes but you are not thinking about the movies. People have huge DVD library's. Do you really think people are going to pay extra money to buy a second copy of all of their movies in this new format?
The answer you are looking for is NO F__N way?
Go away Blu-Ray!

I think Blu-Ray and HD-DVD should concentrate on the computer industry for data backups.
I cant see that any consumer is going to want to buy a new DVD player to Play new DVD formats. This new technology is not wanted for home entertainment movies.
It is far too soon to bring out a new format. DVD has not been around long enough. Releasing these formats will stop DVD sales and no one will embrace the new technology in fear that their movies will become obsolete again.
DVD sales have sky rocketed. People who wouldnt ordinarily buy movies on VHS have been buying them on DVD because of quality, special features, no more chewed tapes etc, etc.
Its not uncommon for households to have extensive DVD librarys and powerful home entertainment systems and your'e going to tell me that they are going to be happy about re-purchasing their movies in a new format?
If this new technology is not backwards compatible then both manufacturers can shove this new technology.
