Recordable DVD standards go head-to-head
28th April 2009 (newscientist.com)
Three rival
DVD
consortia have given up all hope of agreeing a single standard for
recordable DVD
and are unveiling three slightly different and completely incompatible home recorders at IFA, the giant consumer electronics show being held in Berlin.
DVD is the fastest selling
consumer electronics
product ever. Just about everyone who owns a
DVD player
- and plenty of people who are still waiting to buy one - wants a recorder that "tapes" onto eraseable blank discs. With unhappy memories of VHS and Betamax, consumers want a single standard, but they must now take their pick and hope they do not back the losing standard.

G.E.’s Breakthrough Can Put 100 DVDs on a Disc
28 April 2009 (nytime.com)
General Electric says it has achieved a breakthrough in digital storage technology that will allow standard-size discs to hold the equivalent of 100
DVDs
. The storage advance, which G.E. is announcing on Monday, is just a laboratory success at this stage. The new technology must be made to work in products that can be mass-produced at affordable prices.

Software That Copies DVDs Is on Trial
28 April 2009 (nytimes.com)
SAN FRANCISCO — RealNetworks says it wants to help increase
DVD
sales by allowing people to copy their movie discs. Hollywood studios say that idea will only hurt their already struggling business. The two sides square off in a federal court here on Friday to determine who prevails. The case is ostensibly about RealDVD, a $30 software program that allows users to save digital copies of Hollywood DVDs to their computers — a capability the
movie industry strenuously objects to, worrying that it will stimulate piracy and undermine the budding market for digital downloads.

Auto DVD players
The technology for auto DVD players just keeps getting better, too. You can find systems to mount on the roof, in-dash, and on the backs of headrests. They will play music and movies and you can even buy headphones to plug into them if the whole car isn’t interested in hearing the entertainment.
Auto DVD players are definitely a great investment if you have kids and take road trips of any length. The wide range of features on these will entertain kids for literally hours at a time. The players are also considered a luxury feature in high-end autos and are another flashy piece of “bling” that can be added to your ride.
HD-DVD
good--identical--to BluRay. But the technology was fundamentally less
expensive. The players cost less. The disks cost less to make (and could
be made compatible with regular DVD, simplifying inventory). It was
ready for market.
Sony loved making royalties from licensing CD technology. They missed
the boat on DVD and they were bound and determined to win the HD
war. It was never about the superiority of their technology (Sony hasn't
made superior technology in a decade). It was simply about licensing
revenue. A bitter victory, eh?
