Memory-Tech, Toshiba Develop DVD/HD-DVD Discs

Posted by timothy on from the two-two-two-scoops-of-raisins dept.

Kralizec writes "PC World reports that Memory-Tech has developed a dual DVD, HD-DVD disc, which stores DVD content on the upper layer and HD-DVD content on the lower. The DVD data can be read by standard DVD players, giving customers the incentive to buy now, and reap future benefits by buying an HD-DVD player at a later time. Blu-ray suffered a heavy blow when HD-DVD gained the support of four major movie studios; could this be the knockout punch?" (The format was developed jointly with Toshiba.)

    That this will not be a KO. It will, in fact, be a disqualification on the part of the HD-DVD for ear biting.

    Can't I just punch a hole in the corner of a regular DVD and turn it over?
