| Topic: WTG China - another DVD format, you tell 'em. | ||||||
| Not content with just having HD-DVD and Blu-Ray to compete with oneanother, China decided to throw one more into the mix. Of course, they're not willing to compromise, and for them it's this (not even 'this or nothing'). BEIJING, Oct. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- A government-affiliated research body announced here Tuesday that it will develop China's own DVD format in order to break monopoly of foreign companies in DVD manufacturing. Lu Da, deputy director of the National Disc Engineering Center,said that the new Chinese DVD format will be based on the prevailing format of HD-DVD but incompatible with the HD-DVD systems. The Chinese format will produce higher definition, better soundand safer way for copyright protection, Lu said. [source] What's the bet that by 'safer way for copyright protection' they mean no copy protection, which is better for their citizens? :) |
