The Format War of the Blue Laser: HD DVD vs. Blu-ray
hd dvd player
Blu-Ray & HD DVD’s have been competing for some time now to become the successor to DVD’s throne. Blu-ray and HD DVD unfortunately are not incompatible formats. It means that no standard Blu-ray player will be able to play HD DVD discs, and no standard HD DVD player can play Blu-ray discs (with the exception of pricy combo players of course).
Blu-ray
Upside: PlayStation 3 plays Blu-ray movies; Blu-ray has support of 70 percent of movie studios; Current Blu-ray discs can hold more data or video than HD DVD counterparts.
Downside: Blu-ray players are more expensive than their HD DVD counterparts; support for audio can vary from player to player; different profiles can cause confusion over special feature support.
Winner?
High Def DVD Technology Faces External Threats
A lot of attention is paid to the fevered competition between Sony’s Blu-ray and Toshiba’s HD-DVD High Definition DVD formats, but many analysts and the general public ignore the threats that high def DVD technology in general face from other technologies.
For example, Sony’s Bravia HDTV sets can display a variety of
HDTV videos that can be downloaded from the Internet. The only catch with Vudu is that the device downloads the movies in standard definition format and then upconverts them to HDTV format before displaying them on the screen.
The Xbox 360 from Microsoft is already capable of downloading HDTV movies from the Internet, but the device is plagued by depressingly long download times- sometimes on the order of eight hours for a standard length movie!
One interesting option that has been proposed for getting HDTV content in the future is providing it for consumers on compact, portable hard drives.
