HD DVD has somewhat become the buzzword now when talking about impressive audio and video quality, making a movie experience worth remembering. Standing to be the next generation of DVD technology, HD DVD is practically developed from the same technology which sired the DVD system, which has become the standard in quality movie distribution. It boasts a further impressive data storage capacity system, as HD DVD discs could easily store 15 gigabytes of data, with dual-layer classes of HD DVD discs capable of storing up to 30 gigabytes of data, easily beating the capacity of standard DVDs, which is 4.7 gigabytes, with dual-layer standard DVDs capable of storing up to 8.5 gigabytes of data.
Coupled with the practical utilization of advanced video and audio codecs and with its impressive storage capacity, HD DVD discs are perfect for the use of high definition movies, as well as the storage of personal computer systems’ software and games.
High Definition DVD players capable of handling HD DVD discs have become the avenue for people to enjoy eye popping stunning graphics, supporting screen resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080p, which are complemented by surround sound support, reaching 7.1 surround sound channel setups. All High Definition DVD players come with backward compatibility, enabling them to easily handle standard DVD discs, as well as CD discs.
HD DVD standalone High Definition DVD players came into the United States in April of 2006: The HD-XA1 and the HD-A1 from Toshiba, one of the two developers who made HD DVD technology possible. Within days of their release, the High Definition DVD players sold out, simply illustrating how impressive HD DVD technology is. By December of 2006, almost 120,000 Toshiba branded High Definition DVD players were sold in the United States, with 150,000 units also sold as High Definition DVE player upgrade kits for the Xbox 360.
The leading competition for HD DVD technology comes in the form of Blu Ray technology, and a number of hybrid High Definition DVD players, as well as Blu Ray players are also available for consumers. VidaBox announced the first home theater PC capable player, which could easily handle HD DVD and Blu Ray discs. By 2007, the LG BH-100 stands as the first High Definition DVD player, as well as Blu Ray disc player, capable of handling both classes of “next generation” optical disc storage formats.
Bottom line, High Definition DVD players stand to be the player arm for HD DVD, simply standing as the avenue for users to sit back, relax, and enjoy their movies, in high quality.
