A Third High Def DVD Format is Coming
Another DVD format will join Blu-ray and HD-DVD in the high def race. Is this really necessary?
New Medium Enterprises (NME) has announced that is is coming out with a new low-cost red-laser high-definition optical disc format, called HD Versatile Multilayer Disc (HD VMD).
The company plans a formal launch in October of its first NME-branded HD VMD players. A top-of-the-line model will have a suggested retail value of $199.
When it launches, DVD titles for the United States will be limited to a handful of releases from independent producers and international studios offerings, including a large catalog of popular Bollywood titles. NME executives said they are “in talks” with Hollywood studios to produce titles in the format for U.S. releases in the near future.
