Is HD-DVD Dead?

A CBC radio interview discusses HD-DVD and how it could all over for the format.

"But the big news at the Consumer Electronics Show isn't a flashy gadget or a cool device - it's a technical standard. Until now, there've been two competing formats for high-definition DVDs. But now, one appears to have won. How will it affect you? Our technology columnist Tod Maffin joins me to dig a little deeper."

they make a cheap HDDVD burner for PC so i can back up data to more suitable 20-30GB then the 8.5gb currently available.

[Maddens Raiders]

[sak500]

Why were you laughing so much ? I coudn't make out what was on the table. You need to lose some weight and avoid the sun.

I bet you're glad the writer's strike is over 'sak'; at least now you don't have to write your own jokes anymore. 8D

It must be cause it sure as hell isn't alive.

[Cryptech]

It is dead or dying very quickly.

[Tempist]

Was HD-DVD some kind of horse?

There does seem to be a lot of people wailing on it regardless.

[ScottEFresh]

"not really if" ...this wasn't the planet Earth.

[RecSpec]

Well HD-DVD was never really alive, it was just a hollow shell of a body searching for a soul. Seeing that it never found it, how could it have died?

[f7ss1]

it was a really short lived format, even beta-max lasted for a while didnt it?

[altimako02]

but it is dead. I wish it wasnt because I actually like it more than blu, but it is dead.
