Studios currently supporting the Blu-Ray disc format include Hollywood Pictures Home Video, Touchstone Home Entertainment, Miramax Home Entertainment and Dimension Home Video. Last week, Sony got a significant gain when Walt Disney agreed to back the Blu-Ray format.Meanwhile, Toshiba is not sitting idle. Its HD-DVD has found supporters in Warner Bros, New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, representing about 45 percent of Hollywood's U.S. sales of prepackaged DVDs. Support from US film studios is vital in the format battle. Besides, Toshiba is a leading producer of desktop PCs - it can stuff its PCs with HD-DVD drives when they are shipped.Now I wonder if we would have to have both the players to watch all the Hollywood movies... :nono: :P as Home Video, Touchstone Home Entertainment, Miramax Home Entertainment and Dimension Home Video will release movies in Blu-Ray disc format and HD-DVD has found supporters in Warner Bros, New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures and Universal Pictures, representing about 45 percent of Hollywood's U.S. sales of prepackaged DVDs.Xbox 2 may make use of the HD-DVD format, if some Japanese electronics giants have their way. M$ is supporting HD-DVDApple Computer backing Sony-promoted Blu-Ray disc technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeus_Hunt Posted June 29, 2005 Author Share Posted June 29, 2005 Just a few weeks ago, IBM has been completely taken by surprise by Apple’s decision to break the relationship between the two companies and go for a more alluring Intel.IBM’s attempt to talk the people from Apple intousing the Cell processor the company had just developed for Sony’s gaming consoles was a complete failure.In order to counterbalance the negative effect Apple’s decision had on IBM’s image, Big Blue has decided to license Cell in order to be used in other areas as well.According to IBM’s announcement, the first field to benefit from Cell’s processing power will be the medical one. However, what’s really interesting is to see what Peter Hofstee, Cell chief scientist and architect, IBM, had to say about this subject.After stating his skepticism regarding the processor’s implementation into PCs or even servers, seeing that the software that could really put the Cell to work hasn’t been developed yet :pope: , Hofstee has also commented that the IBM research centers are working hard on modifying the Cell in order to be able to run the Linux operating system.An alliance between the Cell and Linux would mean a huge step forward for the open source operating system, which once again proves its flexibility and the fact that it can be adapted for the most advanced technologies. Now it remains to be seen which fields would be interested in a Linux/The Cell solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have a feeling that dual burners will be released for both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray DVD's. I don't see both sides letting up considering the amount of cash they've pumped into it. It wouldn't suprise me if burners came out shorty after offering to be compatible with the two. Only thing is, it'll be very expensive at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
