This is precisly the move i've been saying HD-DVD should do, of course blu-ray will try to keep away from burners and media, and that will be the advantage for HD-DVD
there is hope for BIG backup media, i dont care that much for movies, but sure would love to make an HD-DVD of all the seasons of 1 show in dvd quality

Does this mean you can burn 4 discs of 4.7 gb DVD movies to one HD DVD? How can you burn multiple VIDEO TS folders on one HD DVD, or would you need to convert them to HD DVD format?
Or even better, an HD DVD player with Xvid or Divx support.

I agree, an HD-DVD player with these playback capabilities would be great.

Well whether the Blu-ray fans care to admit it or not HD DVD as a storage medium is set to grow strongly this year.
It is being strongly supported by all of the big laptop/notepad people (excepting Dell & Apple, so far.)

It is possible that HD DVD will live on as a data-storage technology for computers, suggests Eiichi Katayama of Nomura, an investment bank. But as far as the living room is concerned, HD DVD now looks like the new Betamax.
For computer storage I still prefer my drobo:

Well no surprises that you missed out Samsung, Asus, HP, Acer & Intel.
Like I said, add in Toshiba & that's every one of the big players excepting Dell & Apple (give them time).
:P
HD DVD will be around for a long time to come (as a video medium as well as storage)

Samsung makes Laptops with Blu-Ray players too lol :P
Same with Asus.
Acer is pure crap. Some bad times with those guys... They too make Laptops with Blu-Ray players.
HP also makes Laptops with Blu-Ray...
If they're all multi-format, where's the advantage? It's like a Where's Waldo book :P
Anyways they're all probably around $2000 right(I don't have time to check)? Who wants to pay that much for a laptop when you can get a fairly good one now for even $600 or less and then just buy a stand alone? And I don't know too many people that watch DVDs alone on their computers anyways. Me for example, I download most of mine these days and I'll burn them on a disc to watch on my TV or my friend's house or just watch it and delete it if it's not worth wasting a disc on. The only time I pop in a DVD movie is if I'm copying it(for back-up purposes of course) :P
Besides, I think you need at least a 20" screen and a good speaker system(2.1 or whatever) to enjoy a movie, especially for a HD-DVD or Blu-Ray disc.
