Total HD to unify HD-DVD and Blu-ray?

Philip Wong | Jan 05, 2007

Studio house Warner Bros is taking matters into its own hands by introducing another new high-def video disc. Dubbed Total HD disc, it is compatible with both Blu-ray and HD-DVD players and poses as a quick fix for the ongoing standoff between the Sony- and Toshiba-led camps. After all, this will enable the studios to release Hollywood blockbusters in high resolution and, most importantly, a unified platform and standard.

The success of this upcoming disc format hangs heavily on the level of acceptance from the major movies studios. With Sony Pictures holding a sizeable stake in the Hollywood industry, chances are the road ahead for Total HD will probably be a long and bumpy one. We will bring you more updates on the technicalities once we get our hands on the announcement from CES 2007.
