Toshiba, Sanyo, NEC and Memory Tech have founded the HD DVD Promotions Group, going head to head with the Blu-ray Disc Association. Even though the DVD forum has formally backed HD DVD, the Blu-ray proponents are all in the DVD forum as well, so I suppose the HD DVD backers thought they needed to have their own promotion platform.

The HD DVD camp isn't the only one with hybrid discs: The Blu-ray camp is also working on a combined Blu-ray / DVD disc. Unlike HD DVD, the hybrid Blu-ray discs will be one sided, and use three data layers, one for Blu-ray (that's 25GB) and two for DVD (standard 8.5GB DVD-9).

Het begint steeds meer te lijken op het DVD +/- verhaal. Als de een met een dual-format dvd komt, dan komt de ander er ook mee.
Verschillende fabrikanten/studio's steunen zowel HD-DVD als Blu-ray. Als zij al niet kunnen kiezen tussen beide formaten.
