High Definition DVD Tutorial: Blu-Ray Disc and Advanced Optical Disc
As wonderful a technology that DVD-Video is, what can possibly be better? Well, how about High Definition DVD (HD DVD)? Take everything that’s great about DVD-Video but increase the picture resolution from a standard definition 480i (or enhanced definition 480p if you have a progressive scan DVD player) to a high definition resolution of 720p or 1080i. Yes, high definition as in High Definition Television (HDTV)!
Before we go into the HD DVD format, you should know that a format already exists today that allows playback and recording of HDTV: Digital VHS (D-VHS). In this article, we focus on the next generation HD DVD format, as an optical disc format. We will discuss the challenges of recording HDTV, the formats under consideration, and backwards compatibility issues with the existing DVD-Video format.

Advanced Optical Disc (AOD) Format
Created by Toshiba in conjunction with NEC, the Advanced Optical Disc (AOD) format is relatively new in comparison with the Blu-Ray Disc format. But interestingly enough, the AOD format is already being supported by the DVD Forum, a consortium that includes all nine members of the “Blu-Ray Disc Founders”. Note that the DVD Forum does not specify standards. It does not design formats, rather it provides support in terms of format compliance verification. Designing formats is under the realm of manufacturers or teams of manufacturers. The AOD format standardization is nearing its completion.
