HD DVD (short for High Definition/Density Digital Versatile/Video Disc)[1] is a discontinued high- density optical disc format for storing data and playback of high- definition video.[2] Supported principally by Toshiba, HD DVD was envisioned to be the successor to the standard DVD format.

GB per layer). History[edit]In the late 1. HDTV sets started to enter a larger market, but there was no inexpensive way to record or play back HD content.

JVC's D- VHS and Sony's HDCAM formats could store that amount of data, but were neither popular nor well- known.[5] It was well known that using lasers with shorter wavelengths would yield optical storage with higher density. Shuji Nakamura invented practical blue laser diodes, but a lengthy patent lawsuit delayed commercial introduction.[6]Origins and competition from Blu- ray Disc[edit]Sony started two projects applying the new diodes: UDO (Ultra Density Optical) and DVR Blue together with Philips, a format of rewritable discs which would eventually become Blu- ray Disc (more specifically, BD- RE) and later on with Pioneer a format of read only discs (BD- ROM).[7] The two formats share several technologies (such as the AV codecs and the laser diode).

The DVD Forum (chaired by Sony) was deeply split over whether to go with the more expensive blue lasers or not.

The Blu- ray Disc prototype's caddy was both expensive and physically different from DVD, posing several problems.[9] In March 2. Warner Bros. and other motion picture studios that involved compressing HD content onto dual- layer DVD- 9 discs.[1. In spite of this decision, the DVD Forum's Steering Committee announced in April that it was pursuing its own blue- laser high- definition solution. In August, Toshiba and NEC announced their competing standard Advanced Optical Disc.[1. It was adopted by the DVD forum and renamed to HD DVD the next year.[1.

One of the issues was that Blu- ray Disc companies wanted to use a Java- based platform for interactivity (BD- J based on Sun Microsystems' Java TV standards), while HD DVD companies wanted to use Microsoft's "i.

HD" (which became HDi).[1. Another problem was the physical formats of the discs themselves.[1. The negotiations proceeded slowly and ultimately stalled.[1. On August 2. 2, 2. Blu- ray Disc Association and DVD Forum announced that the negotiations to unify their standards had failed.[1. Rumors surfaced that talks had stalled; publicly, the same reasons of physical format incompatibility were cited.[1. By the end of September that year, Microsoft and Intel jointly announced their support for HD DVD.[2.

Hewlett- Packard (HP) attempted to broker a compromise between the Blu- ray Disc Association and Microsoft by demanding that Blu- ray Disc use Microsoft's HDi instead of BD- J and threatening to support HD DVD instead.[2. The Blu- ray Disc Association did not agree to HP's demands.[2. In November 2. 00. Microsoft released an HD DVD player for their Xbox 3.
