Down the road, when blu ray discs cost exactly the same as hd-dud discs and the studios want to pack in more and better content and have region encoding, why would they use the hd-dud disc over a blu-ray disc? It would only make sense then if all studios started to use blu-ray discs to get those features/capabilities. This is of course because since everyone would have dual format players, they could use blu-ray discs and everyone could play them. Therefore, if blu-ray discs would become the disc of choice down the road for dual-format players, why even bother going down a path with hd-dud??? Can't Paramount, Universal, Weinstein, and Warner understand this?

TL51 could become a reality.
