Wow. This prototype triple-layer HD DVD will have the same capacity of the dual-layer blu-ray that has been out for over a year. Of course, it's not likely that this disc will play on any existing players. Will it ever come to fruition? Maybe a year after the 100gb quad-layer blu-ray developed by TDK is in production. Entire LOTR, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc., on a single blu-ray. Life is good for blu-ray owners.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this means that TL51 is finally A REALITY and that it has been approved as working on all players.
This is official from the 40th DVD Forum Steering Committee.
And another great news for HD DVD is that twin TL disc is also approved. Meaning that from now on we might see full blown HD movies and SD DVD movies on one side. Talk about advanced format.
As for your commenta about the size, a year into format and Blu-Ray still doesn't do all the things that HD DVD has been doing for over a year now. But hey Blu-Ray at least found a suitable purpose for that extra space. To publish MPEG2 movies and uncompressed audio, not to mention 2 same movies in one just to have hacked version of PiP. Talk about ridiculous.
LOTR: New Line Cinema, a division of Time Warner, supports both formats but MAY drop Blu Ray.
Star Wars: LucasArts and 20th Century Fox, Blu Ray support...but we are talking George Lucas here so you know you are going to get jacked around with multiple versions before one comes out that meets your preference. Besides, I think we can at least agree that Ep. 1-3 SUCK compared to Ep. 4-6.
And WTF is this talk about a triple layer HD-DVD disc not playing in exsisting players!? You truly believe that or are you being overcome by the fumes of your own sh*t?
good luck actually getting one of these disks, did u know there are only 2 manufacturing plants in the world which can even produce 50gb bluray disks? yea. and theyre owned by sony, who holds royalty fees for anyone who wants them. cant wait till they try triple layer bluray disks
dual layer hd dvds are just as easy and cheap to make as dvds. please stop supporting sony you morons.
