DVDs HD - DVD in High Definition

Research just released by Home Media Research shows that Blu-ray has out sold HD DVD up to the 3rd quarter of the year. The research was carried out in the US only but shows that approximately 2.6 million Blu-ray discs were sold against just 1.4 million HD DVD discs during this period.

Analysts believe the HD DVD format will make a comeback in the last quarter of the year, especially after movie releases such as ‘Transformers’ which sold over 100,000 HD-DVDs on its first day of release (16th October).

Japanese motorists will soon have the option of playing high definition DVDs in their car. A new vehicle at the 2007 Toyko Motor Show includes a Panasonic Blu-Ray player.

The player has support for all the Blu-ray features and include BD-Java playback and has a LCD screen. The player looks remarkably similar to the Panasonic BD-10 Blu-ray player.
