HD VMD from New Medium Enterprises Incomin
New Medium Enterprises unveiled its first HD VMD (Versatile Multilayer Disc) player at IFA trade-show in Berlin along with the short list of movies to be available for the player this fall. The company, which positions its standard as "The New Definition of High Definition" promises affordable prices and widespread availability, but remains tight-lipped over the movies portfolio it is able to release.
HD VMD was out already in different part of the world and i told you or all of you all ready
Another format.
and what studios does it have? Without backing from a good number of studios, it does not stand a chance.
You know what'd be really funny? All the studios (from both Blu-ray and HD DVD camps) decide to support this third format in addition to whatever they are supporting right now (either Blu-ray or HD DVD,) and -- BOOM! -- this format comes out victorious.
1) it is the inferior in the 3 format in size technology(5GB per layer)
-based in red laser technology(inferior) while both HD/BD blue laser
-for new adaptors : it has very narrow library of movies
-no major studio support
-price=250$ this would been good last year but this year HD-DVD will soon have player under 200$, yes it is only 1080i(THE 200$ HD-DVD PLAYER) this mean it will pumb technically only 30fps but remmber all BR/HD movies recorded @24fps so it will be converted in both I/P signal, what will make the difference is your display (I 30fps/P 60fps scan)
-However : what they should think about is 2sided dual layer DVD9 which will hold up to 18GB and work in current DVD player till either HD-DVD/BR take over.
hmmm plays H.264 codecs bootlegs that might be worth it alone :)
I just need one player that plays them all... please....
till then Ill wait..
