The difference is Beta and VHS were different sizes. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD will both fit in the same tray.

I understand that.

But whichever format wins will be the only one supported by hardware manufacturers after that. Why would they build in a capability for a market that will fade away?

Hence my Beta vs. VHS question. VCR makers could be making dual Beta/VHS machines right now - but they're not.
