HD DVD and the Memory-Tech Corporation
HD DVD stands to be the next generation of the DVD format, the popular format in which many movies are being distributed. A result between the joint development project of NEC and Toshiba, HD DVD stands strong in being the DVD format's successor, as the DVD Forum, the same original developers of the DVD technology, support HD DVD as the "next in line" to DVD formats.
Versatile and quite impressive, HD DVD discs are known to "out store" standard DVD systems, as an HD DVD disc has no problems in storing data reaching up to 15 gigabytes, with dual layer classes of HD DVD discs capable of storing up to 30 gigabytes of data. Standard DVD discs have storage capacities of up to 4.7 gigabytes, with dual layer DVD discs capable of storing up to 8.5 gigabytes of data.
Memory-Tech Corporation stands to be one of the popular makers of HD DVD media, featuring a developed dual layer ROM, or read only, disc which could store content in both the DVD and HD DVD formats. The Memory-Tech Corporation acknowledges the similar physical structure of DVD and HD DVD, and uses this fact in the development of versatile HD DVD and DVD media. A joint project between Toshiba and the Memory-Tech Corporation made such media possible, further defining the role of Toshiba, as well as establishing the Memory-Tech Corporation's role, in the existence of HD DVD. The Memory-Tech Corporation's discs are simply amazing items, which bring users closer to the next generation of DVD, yet still allow them to hold onto the DVD system.
HD DVD discs, with their impressive storage capacities, coupled with the practical application and utilization of advanced audio and video codec systems, stand to be the perfect medium for high definition movies, boasting screen resolution support of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. This high definition picture quality is ideally complemented with impressive sound support, reaching up to support for 7.1 surround sound channel setups. The standard DVD format only supports screen resolutions of up to 720 x 480 pixels.
The impressive storage capacity of HD DVD discs, makes it possible for more that just the "feature selection" to be included in HD DVD movie packages, allowing more extra features like "the making of", or "actor/director commentaries" or "deleted scenes", to be added into the HD DVD.
All in all, HD DVD is sure on its way into becoming the successor of the DVD format, with the Memory-Tech Corporation supporting it with quality, versatile media.
