Re: .... no thanks
said by XBL2009  :HD-DVD and BluRAY support WMV9, the differeces between the two formats is surprisly little except the size of the storage. HD-DVD and Blu-Ray can support anything because the arrangements of the bits are irrelevant to the disc's physical format.
HD-DVD uses 35GB and requires very little retooling work to be done in manufacturing to get the drives out.
Blu-Ray uses 25GB on a single layer disc and 50GB on a dual layer disc and requires some changes to existing factories so they can manufacture the drives. It supposed to be initially more expensive to manufacture than HD-DVD.
