LOR to be coming out soon on HD DVD, or is it for BD?

[Fr0stiE]

theknub only one company is making a dual hd player. i wouldn't call it a nice player though especially since it is made by lg. even then, the player is hd-dvd crippled. so, it is not even a fully functional player.

Actually, LG isn't the only company planning on releasing the dual format player. Though it may be the first company to announce a functioning prototype. (Aside from RICOH media who was the first to make an optic laser with the ability to read both formats...) I really feel that a dual player is a great way for hardware manufacturers to earn money, and will more likely than not yield the most sales. When you consider the Sony BD is at $1000 and a dual format player is only $200 more, I would think that the versatility of the LG player would be more appealing to the average consumer. As only people with money to burn will purchase an individual player for each format. <--- My opinion.

As for the True-HD dvd format... I honestly didn't know anything about that until I responded to this post, which just goes to show how much time Blubaru spent checking on the release format New Line is planning on using for this series in particular. This doesn't mean that the media format will ever come about, I just think that it's a good idea. As for the cost of the media, as long as a R&D team can produce a media type playable on both players... Consumers will win overall, in that it must be cheaper to produce a movie on one format than it would be to make one for each individual standard. If you think about it... a studio using this media type won't have to worry about making more of one format than the other (in which case they would save money) instead they would be able to produce a single [multi player] version. (Which couldn't cost more than a blu-ray no matter how you cut it.)

I don't know how this would effect the quality of the data stored on disc, but that's for the R&D teams to figure out not me.
