WTF? HD-DVD using blue laser?

I thought the big advantage with HD-DVD was the fact that it used current red lasers and that manufacturing companies would only have to tweak manufacturing process while blu-ray would have a much different process that would cost more due to it using a blue laser..
 
They both use blue laser, the way the HD-DVDs is manufactured is similar to DVDs compared to Blu-ray.
 
Oh goodie! Now we'll have direct injection multiple quantum well diode based pointers instead of this highly unreliable and expensive DPSS stuff. 😀 (And they'll actually be CHEAP!) What's next for petabyte carriers? X-Ray lasers? :laugh:

Of course there will be the need for elipsoidal-epitaxial correction, astigmatism, scratch-dig skewing and lack of coherence length but those hardly affect the raver that wants to play around with the darn things. 😛

HD-DVD was always meant to be blue laser, since day one.

Then how exactly is blu-ray different from HD-DVD? I keep looking for comparisons and they're all worthless because they're comparing it to DVD and not to each other really..

Blue Ray is Sony Proprietary BS. Sony sucks.
 
I remember seeing Crutchfield listing a Toshiba HD-DVD player at $799 and a Sony Blu-ray player at $999. Of course both aren't available yet but they're taking pre-orders.

HD-DVD

single layer = 15 gigabytes ROM
dual layer = 30 gigabytes ROM
triple layer = 45 gigabytes ROM

single layer = 20 gigabytes R/RW
dual layer = 40 gigabytes R/RW

Video Rate = 36 mbps

Low cost production of HD-DVD discs is the big attraction, any DVD maker can start produce blank HD-DVD media.

BluRay

single layer = 25 gigabytes
dual layer = 50 gigabytes
quad layer = 100 gigabytes <--- TDK made one
8 layer layer = 200 gigabytes <--- hype or real who knows

Video rate = 54 mbps

Requires all new equipment to crank out blank media.

fvuk man...speak english
 
I thought this was known...it's just a modern age VHS/Beta.

In other news, I saw a V6 Mustang today with huge decals and a big VTEC badge...I couldn't stop laughing. I wanted to change langes so i could pull aside them and rev away...but alas, I had to go straight.

That again, explains nothing. For quad and octo layer, yes, but for dual and single, I've yet to see a reason...

:music:
At the drive-in
In the old man's Ford
behind the bushes
until I'm screamin' for more
Down the basement
lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me :music:
