But for how long? I assume they have to licence HD DVD technology, either per device or on a subscription basis. And while the format is not changing, there is still a development cost associated with maintaining the code and testing it still works. At some point its simply not going to be worth bothering with it. They'll probably advise customers who want HD DVD playback to stick with an older version. Hopefully by that point, some tool like Videolan can be used instead.
