Interesting, and not surprising. Thanks for sharing.

.....and recorder is still not out.

The bleeding edge is still bleeding. No suprises here. The Blu-Ray and HD-DVD camps are falling over each other trying to get to market first and out-spec each other. If it was up to engineering instead of marketing the products wouldn't be out yet.

Being on the bleeding edge has it's advantages and disadvantages. I can tell you...I am fully enjoying HD DVD from the Toshiba HD-A1 in my home theater on 80 glorious inches. At $500 to get in the game, it has been well worth it, and my wife even comments on how amazing it is.

Cool. Late adapters like me thank the earlier adapters like you.

Do you have the load time and HDMI switching problems reported in the article above? Do you have any heat dissipation problems with the unit? What HD-DVD titles do you have?

That's why I'm waiting for the PS3 at least I can argue that I can play games on it.

At this time I would say the Blu-Ray camp has many more issues than HD DVD. They are suffering from poor transfers, older, less efficient video codecs, and audio support issues as well. On the flip side, HD DVD has less studio suport. It truly is another format war. If anyone is interested in following the trials and tribulations of both formats...here is a great place to look.

Blu-ray camp has more vendors support than HD-DVD. HD-DVD may have betamax fate unless the format war decides it otherwise.

Unless BD get's there act together, which they probably will, then HD DVD will survive. Personally, I don't care as long as I get HD on disc. But today, HD DVD blows BD away...by a long shot. Disney has now announced support for HD DVD and LG and Hitachi are commited to building HD DVD players. Word is the other studios may jump over to HD DVD if BD doesn't get it's act together.
