The High Definition DVD FAQ v0.81 released

Blu-ray logoToshiba made the announcement that they will ramp down the HD DVD format, so the so called war in between the HD DVD and Blu-ray is finally and officially over. Supporters of the HD DVD format are naturally disappointed, but in general this is good news for the consumers. Now nobody has to speculate which format to choose, and the whole industry, including vendors and content producers, can focus on Blu-ray. This should result in improved selection of movies and hardware on the market. They wasted quite a bit of time battling against, which has slowed down the adobtion of the high definition video, so obviously their next target is to push Blu-ray into mainstream format.

With a very convenient timing, the most complete and comprehensive  High Definition DVD FAQ (this does not refer to HD DVD, but high definition formats in general) has been updated by the author Xiao Fang. The latest edition contains a lot of updates regarding the end of the so called format war, plus other additions. Be sure to check it out - excellent reading!

    There are some slight issues with the layout of the FAQ - they will be fixed later today.

    You could actually replase the phrase “What is HD-DVD” with “What was HD-DVD” :D

    Actually, The High Definition DVD FAQ is a project of Xiao Fang / Digital Digest. BitBurners.com is just an official mirror.
