I understand that Time Warner has filed a patent application for a
universal "Multilayer Dual Optical Disk" that can store BluRay video; HD
DVD video; and standard DVD programs. The patent application (US
2006/0179448 A1) is for a multi-layer disk in which HD DVD, BluRay, and
standard DVD programs are stored in respective data layers such that,
with a compatable player, the consumer can play a disk in any of the
three formats.
If it works, and if it can be marketed at a reasonable price, maybe this
will resolve the HD DVD-BluRay conflict and move high definition DVD
technology off dead center and toward market acceptance.
