HD DVD Vs Blu-ray: HD-DVD goes beyond 50GB with new disc

[quzar]

Blu-ray is also suppost to have more advantages over HD-DVD other then just capasity.

Such as? As far as I know HD-DVD has blu ray beat out everywhere but capacity per layer. The menu systems are much more useful, they have support of more studios, and most importantly of all in my mind: almost all HD-DVDs that are being released currently are two sided, with the second side being a legacy DVD.

I'm looking for a special quote where a special someone says nobody will need a Hard Drive over a certain capacity... hmmm

Funny how technology CHANGES... Instead of saying, "OMGz, guYz, whY wuld wE EVER neeD 200 giGs?!?!11"
Why don't you say, "Hmmm, that's a lot of capacity. What new technology will make use of that space in the future?"

Sometimes you people just confuse me. You seem to all be techies, but you don't think like them...

quzar, Blu ray has far more studios backing it. recently more studios are starting to support HD dvd, but Blu ray currently have more supporters

This really does not matter. I am not sure on the full limits but I remember blu-ray was planned with the idea of making up to 4 layers ideal (25GB per layer).

I say by next year CES sony will anounce that B-R pushes 100GB just to mock toshiba.

if you look at the article you will see that the blue ray tested limit is 100gb and the theoretical limit is 200gb. the tested limit for HD was 45Gb, now they got 51gb with a theoretical 60gb limit

theoretical tests. there are also theoretical tests of 10ghz processors. there's a huge gap between in the lab, and being talked about at industry conventions.

hmm rather intresting, although by adding more GB per layer 15 to 17GB, they also change the distance between the data tracks, now all current HD-DVD players CAN'T (cannot) see the closer data tracks, thats the big diff between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD the data tracks and laser focus

(in fact blu-rays are cheaper to produce. just more to convert exsiting dvd plants over to Blu-ray plants, this is becasue blu-rays are a single disc, while dvd and hd-dvd are a two disc proccess to make one disc, notice the seem in the middle of DVD's or HD-DVD's).

anyways it's really rather pointless who wins. the fact is the PS3 uses Blu-rays for games and thats not going to change, look at UMD
