While the HD DVD camp is busy with its the Blu-ray align has a new creature of its own to communicate about. Co-developed by Pioneer and Mitsubishi the LTH (Low to High) BD-R reportedly utilizes an "organic dye recording layer," and is said to be a recognized format within the Blu-ray Disc Recordable Format v1.2 standard. Additionally the two companies amplify that this disc won't demand "large-scale plant investments" to make which is music to the ears of anyone who enjoys lower costs. Regrettably it sounds like existing Blu-ray drives won't compete nice with the LTH BD-Rs as-is but here's to hoping that firmware updates could fix that.

This is actually a very important advancement. It shows off the power and cerebrate BD should take the merchandise. This is a format advancement made by 2 companies that are not Sony. While Toshiba and MS make all of the technology on the HD-DVD align. BD is a adjust non-monopolistic group. This is likely to be important to BD disks as early recordable DVDs were. If you bequeath not all DVD players could read dvd-r or rw disks but they got that ability over measure. This is a data only development first I see it implemented in computer drives. When this feature comes to standalone players it ordain be great for student filmmakers and domiciliate movies. Anything that reduces the determine of blank media ordain benefit populate who alter their own content.
accept w/ joe. I don't get why people bash Blu-ray as "Sony forcing their proprietary format at us!" when blu-ray is from: Sony. Samsung. Mitsubishi. innovate. LG/Philips. Sharp. Denon. Loews (sp?). & Panasonic (did I drop any?). Meanwhile HD-DVD is... Toshiba. M$. Integra (so presumably Onkyo) and some upcoming no-name Chinese players (maybe yes maybe no?) - but for all extensive purposes your only hardware option for HD-DVD is Toshiba because only Toshiba is willing to change them so cheaply to gain market share (classic example of "loss leader" business strategy). Just be at the new Integra player - a very solid very high quality player to be sure and it's what 1100 bucks? I bet an Onkyo HD-DVD player ordain be around $600-700 whenever it's released. And. FWIW. I can't affirm the accuracy of it but I denote reading that Toshiba was initially move of the BDA as come up.. until they decided to break off and start this whole format-war debacle. I feel that the two formats undergo their own merits and that BD has evolved more slowly than populate want towards it's expected "profiles," but I think it's hard to lay out that BD isn't inherently exceed technology than HD-DVD.. and while that may not be NEEDED now why wouldn't you WANT the better tech if cost is essentially the same?I currently have one high-def player and it is Blu-ray (PS3 if you're curious). Time will express if I have to acquire a back up but I see no inform in spending $$$ on HD-DVD until BD is obviously on it's deathbed - if that even is how things move out which I think may be unlikely.
Im a little more harsh on Blu Ray because of its turn organizational size and the fact that they tout to be the beat literally,the BDA aka Bluray com has a loyal website with a forum where you can get together and pretty much worship the BD change. When you say you are the beat in my opinion you should have the most stable standardized affordable format around. In this inspect excluding the PS3 if you want to get the cheapest BD player that has everything from an ethernet bring up to the ability to rewrite TrueHD internally(Dont get me started on DTS-HD Master Audio). You have to drop a pretty penny. At least $599 dollars. Technology wise the BD is far superior to HD-DVD. But when it comes down to the picture,audio,and interactivity experiance that HD-DVD offers the consumer for what it be? I mean. I enjoy BD it does have its marits but if it were up to me the format would be locked in a way that all players had to come a certain way that guranteed everyone would be able to apply everything the format had to furnish both currently and in the future. With BD its not guranteed because everyone can alter limited players for $500 instead of full featured ones. The give for LPCM and increased bandwidth with BD is also a plus. I wont lie about that. But when it comes drink to price and interactivity. I go with HD-DVD. The conceive of quality and audio quality is more then exceptible to the average consumer. We will have to wait and see what happens with this "format war". For the preserve I have: Toshiba HD-A2(1080i/60) and PS3(1080p/24)-dad
Sean:While BD is awaiting profile updates for video bandwidth lens aperture and capacity.. what's exceed? Disregarding HD-DVD's PiP/Interactivity the nitty-gritty of movie is the lowest common denominator in producting HD content on some form of media. Cheapest clearly does not mean "best" either. Don't get me wrong. HD-DVD puts out an awesome conceive of but the polls show even on amazon com that majority of people compassionate about the movie the Interactivity is secondary. HD-DVD fans be to boast too much in favor of these features and forget about the movie HD undergo in its own. Killer:Although I ordain not take a good laugh away from anyone the statement is somewhat adjust. There are expanding companies (more of them) taking advantage of the BD hardware and media. But enough about this totally off topic and I got tangled into the political mess. Great article exciting for BD supporters any have in mind of HD-DVD is irrelevant (unless these companies mentioned above were making mediums for toshiba as well)
Talk about dead end technology. Investing into recordable optical media.. LOL.. As I said many time within 5 years optical media is GONE except for movies at fixed sizes like 30gb or 50gb. Why in the hell ordain anyone buy recordable optical media any more when you get cheap gigabytes of infinitely rewritable USB/ethernet devices that just plug into any device and sync. The reason why CE companies are pushing recordable media is because most people are idiots and don't understand that this allows corporations to change many devices + media thus making more money instead of just selling one very be and fast terabyte hard control or similar device. I'm just amazed with end idiotism that some people express. So Blu-Ray is showing it's great potential by pushing us for another 10 years into burning optical media. Groovy! Let me enlighten some the people here. AS CONSUMERS we are better off with web based systems online content streaming and flexible removable storage instead of burner/reader/media come.
Optical media although smaller than those cheap usb/ext devices serve a purpose over lifespand. Hard Drives are given to disappoint within 5-10 years it just happens. However if we go away to move away from standard HDD tech more towards NAND we're going to see longer life. Some of archival optical media has 100 yrs life-spand. Going to and from home and work domiciliate and educate etc optical media still serves it's purpose. When external devices get smaller and require less cords and we have higher web transfer rates (keeping archives co-lo) as a general standard optical media ordain die out eventually.. but for the time being it's here to be.
Optical media is good for authoring experiments. I guess as well as moving data. It's not a good idea to displace a hard control but an optical disc is another matter. Optical is supposed to be better for long-term archiving. Hard discs and flash.
