3. after dvd its high defination dvd and then the expensive blue ray... and inorder to play the hd dvd your player has to support that inorder to use it.
4. HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. They are incompatible formats. Sony is the prime backer for Blu-Ray, with Samsung, Panasonic, Pioneer and LG making players. HD-DVD is backed mainly by Toshiba with Microsoft making an external player for the X-Box 360. The HD-DVD has capacities of 15GB and 30GB (single-layer and dual-layer), while Blu-Ray has capacities of 25GB and 50GB for the same number of layers. Capacity = quality of video. The ONLY group to set a format is the porn industry which is putting all of its efforts into HD-DVD, which is likely a bad idea. You see, this format war will be decided on the PC front and not the video front. This will NOT be a repeat of the Beta/VHS wars of the late 70's-early 80's. Only Blu-Ray is available for consumers to install in their PCs. There are at least four different drives on the market already. There are presently NO HD-DVD burners available and no PC players, either.
