Disc structure. This is the magic bullet for HD DVD. By sharing a common file structure and lens numerical aperture with DVD HD DVD is able to accomodate both DVD and HD DVD within the same disc. Blu-Ray has also showed this but it would require more engineering.

I think if Toshiba can convince more studios to adopt Twin format 30/4.7GB discs or even 15/9GB discs without charging significantly more they have a nice trojan horse into the home.

I think BD50 is sexy to talk about but I'm not sure it translates into a better movie. More extras for sure but movies aren't straining today's 30GB of space just yet.
