Total HD Disc, hibrido (DVD, HD DVD, Blue Ray) en uno
Este es un nuevo disco el cual aun no es patentado, que vendrá grabado de tal modo que puedas ponerlo ya sea en un DVD normal, en un Blue Ray o en un HD DVD, el disco obviamente es de talta definición para las HDTVs, obviamente es una idea de la compañia productora Warner Brothers, por lo pronto solo sus peliculas podrán ser producidas en este nuevo formato hibrido, ellos dicen que aunque haya players hibridos, el formato a largo plazo tiene mas futuro que los otros tres ya conocidos, ya que las compañias podrán editar sus discos con mayor libertad en cuanto sea o no compatible con cierto aparato, la idea se me hace muy buena, pero aun así las otras compañias siguen polarizadas cada una con su formato, pues sería dificil pensar que de ganar el Total HD, vuelvan a editar o grabar las peliculas que ya estan por ejemplo de Blue Ray en este nuevo disco

Crees dificil que saquen reediciones en nuevos formatos? Ja ja, si es lo que mas hacen sólo buscan cualquier pretexto para intentar revendernos las cosas.

El problema con este disco es que supongo que va a estar bastante carito porque hay que pagar regalías de Blu-Ray, de HD-DVD y de DVD. Cuanto les gusta mínimo? Unos $30 dlls por disco?

No creo por que el disco no tiene el nombre de los otros, que lo toque cualquier aparato es otro rollo, lo que si es que el material que está grabado en el, pues sigue siendo una obra intelectual que como en cualquier otro formato es causante de regalias.

Dice el director de Sony que planean hacer una estrategia para unificar su formato con el HD DVD en sus maquinas, como la ven, quizas en un solo formato?

After more than a year of touting Blu-ray Disc as the best technology to replace DVD for storing high-definition video, a top executive at Sony, one of Blu-ray's major backers, has opened the door to the possibility of unifying the format with its arch rival, HD-DVD.

"Listening to the voice of the consumers, having two rival formats is disappointing and we haven't totally given up on the possibility of integration or compromise," Ryoji Chubachi, Sony's president-elect, said at a news conference Thursday in which he discussed the company's performance and future strategy.

The statement may surprise backers of the rival camps, who have assembled consortiums of major electronics companies, disc makers, and Hollywood studios to promote the formats in a battle that echoes one fought a quarter of a century ago between Betamax and VHS.

HD-DVD backers, which include NEC and Toshiba, say HD-DVDs can be produced for about the same price as DVDs and are backward-compatible with DVDs and CDs, making the format more convenient for both consumers and the industry. HD-DVD movie titles, PC drives, and players are all due out by the end of the year.

Sony has steadfastly promoted Blu-ray as a technology that has greater capacity, saying this makes the format more useful because more content can be stored on a disc. The technology also has wider support in the technology industry, although release dates for movie titles have not yet been announced.
Reaching a Compromise

Chubachi's comments mark the second time that a Sony executive has signaled the possibility of a compromise between the two camps. In January, Ken Kutaragi, executive deputy president of Sony, said a format war was not in the public interest and that Sony had not ruled out the possibility of uniting the formats.

As Sony's future president, Chubachi's remarks Thursday may carry more weight. Currently head of Sony's electronic components and manufacturing businesses, he will replace Kunitake Ando as Sony president on June 22 following the recent shake-up of Sony's top management. That shake-up saw Kutaragi step down from Sony's board, although he still heads its important gaming business.

Kutaragi also admitted in January that Sony, by supporting its proprietary audio encoding system and not the widely-supported MP3 format, had lost ground to competitors such as Apple Computer in the portable music player market, which Sony had once dominated with the Walkman.

While Sony's technological and engineering base is sound, the company must ensure that its products are aligned with the wants of consumers, Chubachi said. Sony's engineers have traditionally been regarded within the company as heroes and the creators of new markets, but recently their ideas have not always led to products that matched consumers' needs, he said.
