dont forget that there was HD-LD too for awhile.
needless to say it was WAY ahead of its time, considering most people now dont have HD compatible tvs even 10 years later...

laserdisc failed for two reasons: the size of the disks were unacceptable, digital compression took over like a wildfire...

besides laserdisc is a 1979 technology anyway, its amazing that people watched LDs through the 1990s.

As someone who OWNS two HD-DVDs and watches HDTV (DTV) everyday... I can say bring it on. What many ppls dont realize is that WMV-HD is already here, and they play in PC DVD drives. go to www.wmvhd.com to learn more. Unfortunately these is no way for the consumer to ENCODE into wmvhd format at this time, b/c that would be the way to transfer the OT!
