  • HP joins HD DVD group due to Blu-ray backers rejecting iHD

    “As the Blu-ray backers went against HP's demand to include iHD support, Hewlett Packard has announced that they will join the HD DVD Toshiba-led group; however they will continue to support Blu-ray also. HP has made the move to support both in an aim to deliver the most user friendly and cost effective solution to its customers, as well as to be on top of development costs due to the potential price variations between both formats.


    The Blu-ray backers originally went against iHD in an aim to prevent the Blu-ray launch from being possibly being delayed in order to add iHD support. However, they have agreed to support "Mandatory Managed Copy", which gives the ability for consumers to copy their movies onto their hard drive as well as stream them throughout their home network, while at the same time preventing unauthorised copying elsewhere.

    When it comes to costs, HD DVD will initially be at an advantage of being able to reuse existing DVD replication equipment as well as being based on the existing DVD format, thus leading to cheaper replication costs. Blu-ray on the other hand has the advantage of being backed by more studios and offering higher disc capacity, however at the drawback of requiring new manufacturing equipment and more expensive material.” source: 'DittoIt' 2005-12-19
