Taiwan’s answer to HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc was formally launched yesterday. The format’s backers claim it offers comparable video quality to blue-laser media but at a fraction of the price.
Why do companies/countries insist on doing this kind of thing? Maybe they’ll get some backing from local content providers, and it sounds like these systems may play the WMV-HD DVD-ROMs that have been released that are currently only viewable on Windows PCs.
But packing a 1080i movie into 11GB max using WMV9? That’s got to be compressed to hell and back.
