HD-DVD MENZ: Some questions for you....

[warcrow]

Whats up you monkeys!


I have some questions about this exciting new HD technology:

1) When will this technology come forth (roughly)?

2) Are all HD-DVD players expected to be backwards compatible with regular DVDs?

3) I hear the movies are expected to be 30+ GB in size, and current dual-layer DVD technology only supports roughly 8-9GB. Does the "HD-DVD" technology pertain to the media, the technology on the media, or both?

4) Any idea how much they will cost?

5) What resolution does HD-DVD support anyways?



Thanks in advanced guys! :beer:

AFAIK there still arguing what to use.

2) Are all HD-DVD players expected to be backwards compatible with regular DVDs?
Yes.

3) I hear the movies are expected to be 30+ GB in size, and current dual-layer DVD technology only supports roughly 8-9GB. Does the "HD-DVD" technology pertain to the media, the technology on the media, or both?

4) Any idea how much they will cost?
I'd guess a thousand the first 2 years.

5) What resolution does HD-DVD support anyways?
1080p.

we're all drooling over HD-DVD, but right now even the networks have a hard time getting HD right.

Well its pretty awesome, Windows Media 9 has been selected as the HD-DVD standard. so new players will support playing HD content thats encoded in wmv9.

do a search on google you'll find tons of new articles and actually see some new hardware devices being released!

exciting stuff!

I think it is Apex you want. He knows more about HT than anyone here I believe.
