Blu-ray Vs Hd Dvd - Round One
Locked in a death match that harkens back to the Betamax vs. VHS wars of 25 years ago, two competing and incompatible formats designed to deliver HD (High-Definition) content from a HD DVD player to your HDTV, are in a stand off. Behind the scenes, the battle has been raging for years between the electronics manufacturers, movie studios and lawyers, but now the conflict will enter the arena that matters: you—the potential consumer. The first generation of DVD was born in 1997 and has had a spectacular run, but its days are numbered due to the oncoming HD DVD technology. In one corner, there is Blu-ray DVD, backed by Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, Apple and others. Supporting the HD DVD format is Toshiba, Microsoft, Sanyo and Intel. Some companies like LG are on both sides of the fence, which presumably puts them on the eventual winning and losing sides.
Since the players use different technologies, the HD DVD’s themselves are not interchangeable.
