I have lots of home video in HD but haven't been able to burn the HD content to use on a standard TV. I've been waiting for something like this, now if Nero can let us burn the 3x format it would be great. This is kind of like the SVCD format. A true HD-DVD burner is too pricy for most of us. I picked up the HD-A2 for less then 400 bucks. I don't think this 3x format will take off for mass produced movies, but for the home user I THINK it will take off.

It is basically the same thing (red laser, DVD structure, et al). Blu-ray has a similar technology called BD-9. It is basically the same thing (red laser, DVD structure, et al).

Who's going to support it? The Blu-ray exclusive studios? nope... it's an HD DVD related product. Universal? nope... they're putting ALL their weight behind HD DVD. Neutral studios? highly doubtful. Definitely not Warner, they're all about Total HD. Who does that leave? Possibly some small content providers or one of the "neutral" studios. That's not going to be enough for this "format" to survive or even get noticed. Say hello and goodbye to 3X DVD. Yeah, this “format” is ridiculous.

But HD DVD fanboys are saying this is the perfect answer and that this format is perfect for a company like The Criterion Collection. It’s like D-VHS only worse!

No one likes you. Why sniff gasoline when you can have crack instead? From the company that brought you HD-Betamax and the big screen black and white TV comes 3x DVD. Complementary Atari 2600 E.T. game included. No one cares when the fat kid finally passes the finish line. Yeah go sit in the corner, stupid 3x discman. No one likes you.
