The company has yet to announce any US-based content partners, and it seems highly unlikely that any of the major studios will make their films available on VMD disc, at least in the short term. While disc production costs for Blu-ray and HD DVD are said to run somewhere between $2 to $3 a unit, VMD discs reportedly cost just over a $1/unit to produce, only slightly more than standard-def DVD.Ĭost aside, VMD is likely to face an uphill battle both for recognizable high-def content - and for shelf space at retailers. ![]() Gadget blog Technabob was first to note the inconspicuous US market debut for VMD on, where three VMD players are being sold direct from the manufacturer, with prices starting at only $189.Īs we've previously reported, the upstart format's red laser multilayer disc is currently capable of storing 15 to 20 GB on a single layer, with plans to grow that number to 30GB.īut according to New Medium Enterprises, the UK technology company that developed VMD, the format's real sell is its ability to deliver the same high-quality video and audio as Blu-ray and HD DVD at a fraction of the cost - both to the consumer, and the content creator. The third high-def disc format was originally announced back in 2006, but had evaded US release until now. I still dont see why would you get a VMD player instead of an HD DVD Player at the current prices. hell 360 is already in the early stages of this and its successful, apple is leaning that way, and lets say cable companies start to do it, if people start paying for DLC and it catches fire the greedy movie studio's are all going to be offering plenty of choices, its the future except it or just keep laughing at old Bill while he's laughing at you all the way to the bank AGAIN.Two high-def disc formats not enough for you? The long-awaited Versatile Media Disc (VMD) is now officially available in the United States. The company has developed the Versatile Multi-Layer Disc (VMD), a multi-layer disc technology that promises equal or greater storage capacity to existing HD-DVD and Blu-Ray high-def formats, and. Vvvvv well did you read what I said its simple once companies have the medium in place to deliver DLC quickly it will be convenient for the mass consumer to come home sit on the couch and download any movie the choose, which means theres NO format to choose from only thing you have to choose is which HD movie you want to pay for and it will safely remain on a set top box with large storage capacity from you cable company or whoever providing the DLC service. hd dvd and bluray will end up just some small niche market. this format war is going to end up just like music its more convenient for the masses to download HD content and save it to a large capacity storage set top box. both companies and many other companies are already in the early stages of delivering HD download. With a collective number of movie titles totalling nearly 4000, and growing, the HD VMD format will have a significant amount of content to offer the consumer. ![]() even if bluray was the only format on the market right now there are no significants signs that consumers are ready to adopt it as the next format which is why the war isn't over despite all your wishing and hd dvd or bluray could end up never taking off before something new or maybe even HD download content takes off. in fact if you add hd dvd & bluray players and movies sales all together it barely is scratching the surface of what is needed to become the mainstream format. HD-VMD Feature by Alec McLeod HD-DVD and Blu-Ray have been spending so much time and money battling it out between themselves. basicly sony console accounts for 90% or something like that of total bluray players sold, so other than sony kids it doesn't seem like most of the public is interested. You sony kids just don't get it do you? even if hd dvd didn't exist the format war wouldn't be over because that doesn't mean the mass market would all over a sudden start buying bluray players.
