  1. Comment - HD VMD: The third format that would not die

    (Jan 9, 2008 - 9:46 AM)

    The tall hill to climb is obvious. What can be said on their behalf?
    1) As a red laser based technology, NME has a permanent cost advantage for player manufacture. Both Blu laser technologies must include a red laser for backward compatibility.
    2) Cost of disc manufacture is a third to a half of blu based discs.
    3) Since VMD can go 10 layers deep, disc capacity can easily be increased up to 200GB.
    4) Their web site indicates several content deals with studios outside the U.S. Even in the U.S. Hollywood market share is barely 50%. Outside the U.S. it is far less. Perhaps,thet will find their footing in other markets.
