Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study investigates the leading blue-laser technologies competing to become the next-generation standard in DVD. As the two leading technologies, HD-DVD and Blu-ray, hurtle toward a format war, it is necessary to investigate what each vision offers for the future of DVD. The biggest obstacle this market faces, aside from high price points, is the format war that it seems destined to suffer.
